Running a Café

For many people it seems an attractive idea to open and run one’s own café. However, it means more than serving coffee to your friends at home. You have to find out the needs of your guests, think about sustainable ideas concerning products and work processes, divide the tasks among your staff, draw up a budget, evaluate the risks, define priorities, reflect on failures and last but not least show resilience in times of heavy workload.
