Recommendations for a Profitable Coffee Shop Business

Hanging out while drinking coffee has become popular and "instagrammable" given the many places for personal pastime, such as coffee shops, which are prevalent in the capital city of Jakarta, South Tangerang, Bandung, Surabaya, Bali and others are. A coffee shop accompanied by music with artistic furniture and ornaments is a favorite of young people and adults.

Currently there are many unique and fun promising hangouts such as bars or coffee shops. Due to the hustle and bustle in the capital Jakarta, mostly young people and adults are drawn to cafés. They make coffee shops a place to hang out or get together. For many, this has become mandatory to counteract the tiredness and boredom that everyday life sometimes brings.

They usually go to the cafe after work or on holidays.

Choosing a place that invites to stay, with its pleasant atmosphere, makes the people feel at home to linger chatting over a cup of hot coffee and snacks.

Quite interesting aspects come to light when you want to open a coffee shop business and dig deeper into this topic. I will now recommend you some things that will make it easier for you to open your own coffee shop or café, starting with the furniture and the design concept etc..

Cafe Style Furniture

Cozy place on a roof top over Jakarta where people enjoy together while sitting on a stylisch set of wooden teak chairs and table.

There are many options for cafe style furniture, starting from unique and contemporary shapes up to tables that can be folded to make it easier for us to store it when closing. Besides that the color appearance is very important, because this significantly influences the flair that radiates your premises.

The recommendation for café style furniture this time is a combination of folding chairs and wooden tables.

This mix and match of wooden and industrial tables and chairs will provide a café like atmosphere offering a concept with modern minimalist style.

There are several things that can make your coffee shop business successful. As the name suggests: a café definitely delivers coffee - but of course good coffee is not enough to achieve success. In order to bring about success there are a few other things to consider, which I will now detail.

Quality and its Price

In terms of quality, they must be at least on par with the competition. A coffee shop definitely has to pay attention to quality, because this is the most important part of what we sell. Choose high-quality coffee beans, because every customer wants to enjoy a positive taste experience. Consider deviating from standard prices by not pricing below average as customers may wonder: are the coffee products you sell really of good quality? If the taste of the coffee we serve can satisfy customers, most people will accept the slightly higher coffee price. Customer satisfaction will translate into profit as long as you don't overdo it on the price.

The Barista, a "Coffee Artist"

For me, a barista is not just someone who can prepare a good coffee, they also have a significant impact on the success of a café. A good barista is someone who knows what their customers want and is good at communicating with them.

A Cozy Atmosphere

A pleasant atmosphere will make your guests' visit an experience. Accompanied by a well-curated music playlist to lighten our spirits, plus comprehensive services, in air-conditioned rooms where necessary. Providing free WiFi, unique furniture and a beautiful outdoor view invites selfie photos that customers can instantly share on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and the like.

The Interior Design

Last but not least, the selection of a suitable interior design is also important. Starting with wall color(s), furniture, plants, paintings and other ornaments, this plays a role that should not be underestimated.

In general, as a prospective coffee shop owner, you should make the interior design as appealing as possible so that customers feel engaged and comfortable. Especially in this day and age, social media users prefer "instagramable" places to take photos and videos.

For this reason, coffee shop business owners, not infrequently also with the support of interior design services, usually not only design the room, but also choose custom(-made) furniture with a unique and artistic design. These don't always have to be expensive.

If you would like to look for furniture and other home furnishings made primarily of wood, you are welcome to visit the ToBe Utama online store.

There you will find a wide range of interior and exterior furnishings, different models of wooden furniture, which will make your customers order another coffee right away. Among other things, we also offer marble decorations and works of art that you can combine as you wish with your café concept.
