Are you ready to open a cafe?

There are too many cafes in China that choose to close and transfer after being operated hastily. You may find that one day the small restaurant on the corner has suddenly changed from a greasy, crowded shop into a cafe with clean windows and direct sunlight, with several beautiful wooden tables and comfortable chairs floating with the mellow aroma of coffee. And then I disappeared. There are a lot of links that you can't see. Many people regard opening a coffee shop as a dream, or a sideline that they want to set foot in outside of their busy work, thinking that the operation of a coffee shop is to open the door and wait for idle young artists to find their own door.

I have seen too many such stories in my eleven years of practice, so I suggest you comb through your life plan carefully before you have the idea of opening a coffee shop. Do you use the coffee shop as a means of making a living or as an investment sideline? Because once you decide to step in, the details may leave you at a loss as to what to do.

In the boutique coffee industry, what is the taste of coffee in places that seem to be full of emotion? Is it just a cup of black bitter water, or is it a top coffee worth tasting?

How to understand and get involved in the boutique coffee industry?

Introduce top coffee planting, coffee roasting and coffee making.

The coffee shop is a dream that many literary and artistic young people are looking forward to. Decorate a storefront according to their own ideas, perhaps a small shop with the scent of pine, or a themed coffee shop covered with film film. there may also be an industrial style shop full of metal flavor in the old factory building, and the girl with a long skirt is holding coffee and flipping through an ambiguous book, and it is quiet at a glance.

It was the same with me at first. I dreamed of going to work in a cafe, thinking that life in a cafe was a description of a variety of books. Later, after professional training, he worked in Beijing sculpture time for two years (04-06), and gradually became dissatisfied with the existing knowledge reserve. He came to Shanghai in 2006, working and studying all the way, thus embarking on the road of systematic knowledge learning in the field of coffee. First go deep into the place of origin, learn upstream knowledge, and then start finishing learning, and then start their own baking factory, set up their own coffee shop, all the way down.

In the eyes of most people, the coffee industry, especially the coffee shop part, is a pleasant business life. But there is also a need for pragmatic management. The proportion of people in and out of the coffee industry is particularly high, and it is easy to see someone enter and open a store and then hastily close or transfer it 10 months later-not that the industry is not worth studying, but that there is something wrong with the views of the people who enter. With the transfer of Chinese consumers' fundamental consumption habits, the coffee field will usher in the rising sun, but it needs more intensive cultivation of employees.

Compared with the highly mobile baristas, the lecturers of the coffee college mainly live in Shanghai, where Mingqian is located. Shanghai provides a more convenient opportunity for communication, as well as opportunities to go abroad to participate in exhibitions in South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc., to understand the new technology and new trends in the industry, which is the time to test the learning ability of coffee lecturers. It is also the biggest challenge for coffee college lecturers-knowledge renewal. For product evaluation and teaching, the biggest worry is timeliness, especially in the face of practitioners, to ensure that they do not derail with the market is a very important responsibility.

At a time when boutique coffee is still in its infancy in China, turning the coffee institute into a separate business may not be a good way to develop permanently. The most important feature of Mingqian Coffee College is the professional training of the whole industry chain, which can be acquired from the college in terms of product characteristics, machine operation, store experience, store positioning and personnel training. It is not easy to open a coffee shop, and it is even more challenging to train people who can open a coffee shop.
