When planning to set up your own coffee shop or coffee shop, take a look at the feng shui of the other coffee shops in your area.

It has been his ambition to own a coffee shop. You know that the profits from this business can be good, but there is stiff competition from the established players. How have successful brands done it?

You could do the basic research.

• Look at existing coffee shops or cafes or bars.
• What kind of coffee do they use?
• What other products do you serve, cooked or freshly prepared?
• What is your unique proposition?
• How the business is operated: staffing levels.
• Marketing and advertising.
• The physical areas where the other outlets do good business.

Have you looked at the finer details of the locations (feng shui) of the most successful coffee shop brand? Do you like Starbucks?

Many of their stores are located near crossroads or intersections. These cafeterias do not have doors flush with the front wall. They’re at all kinds of different angles. In fact, they have highlighted it in their advertising.

Also, look at where the cash register is placed in relation to the front door. Also note how the quiet areas are for customers and also the areas where the crowded areas are.

There’s a reason they’re in that position. It is all about internal design and you could call it feng shui. There must be a reason why Starbucks coffee shops do so well.

Secondly, if you look at intersections or street junctions in any city, you will find that there are more successful coffee shops (including cafes or bars) than the straight street with no junctions.
