A café is more than just a coffee place. It is a kind of culture. Despite that cafés sell essentially the same products, a lot of people still flock to the nearest café they know.
It may seem lucrative yet easy to manage, but owning and maintaining a café requires a lot of work just like other business ideas you can think of. Isa café the right business for you?
It is if you are up for the challenge. Owning and running a café, even if you are purchasing an existing one, is labour-intensive.
Especially if you plan on having a café that operates long hours, you need to be visible during the hours your café is open. While it can bring you flexibility, you need to have as many people present when you are not there. More people helping you manage your café means more wages to account for.

Running a café is a challenge, and passion for food and the whole idea of a café can help you get through the tough times.
