The barrier of entry for getting a coffee shop open is lower than ever. Many have the idea that if they can get the shop open, then they have succeeded. But the test is not only about whether you can open a shop, or even if you can keep it open, but how do you make something that is truly great and successful?
On today’s episode we will be talking about a few ingredients that must be present in the mix of a coffee shop from the beginning in order for all the components we assemble in the race to open, to work together and create something truly greater than the sum of its parts.
These things are not readily apparent but are necessary nonetheless, and are what separates the average coffee shop from one that is long lasting and impactful.
We cover:
- Culture of caring
- Service mindset internal and external
- Its not just a recipe of the assembly…it’s the soul
- Make the intangible tangible
- Long term success is based on roots and patience
- Self knowledge and acceptance of risk in refinement
- Values in action
- Not getting mired in the details but tending to them / Ability to judge success in mission and big picture
