In addition, cafes rely on the surrounding environment to have a cascade effect; large buildings or office buildings nearby. The selected shops themselves should also be more practical, 70 square meters of houses to make about 100 square meters of the effect is the best, so it is recommended that when there is an idea of opening, find a decoration knowledgeable professionals reference. In addition, the average shop is signed for three to five years, so rent must be carefully calculated, and at the same time, it must also look at the long-term development estimate.

The capital budget is often the key, there is not enough working capital to do backup, there is no business after the opening of the store, may not last for half a year and have to close down. Decoration costs are the largest expansion of the budget, business owners to deduct the total budget fixed to spend money, and then take to do design, how much money to do how much, more reasonable capital budget is, with half of the cost used to cope with clearly seen expenses such as decoration furniture and equipment, leaving half turnover.

Note: the actual cost is often much larger than the budget, be careful! Be careful!
