Hiya,
Am looking to start my own small cafe with a gift shop in New Delhi, very close to Barakhamba road, the place is a ground floor with a space of about 500 sq feets and I have 2 more floors to expand if it kicks off, its inside a market with a daily footfall of around 300-500 ppl on weekends and about 150-200 on weekdays.
– I own the place so there’s no direct liability of rentals to worry about, but ofcourse it should justify the rental income which is lost by opening the cafe.
– I’ve no prior experience of running a cafe or a shop so really looking for someone who has an experience into the same to share the bits and pieces and important things on how to run a cafe.
– I plan to keep this cafe open from about 9 am to about 10 pm, does that means I need to run this as 2 shifts operations
– What are the legalities involved in running a cafe and a shop like MCD, Delhi police, fire service permissions and all
– What are the peripheral possible income sources to run the cafe e.g. livemedia, is there an agency who can facilitate such things
– How about a software for billing and inventory
– How about trademark, copyright issues related to naming my cafe?
– How can I make it more engaging and ppl-friendly?
I will addon as more things come to my mind, but please let me know anything related to the same 🙂
Thanks a ton!
Amit.
