Coffee Shop?
So you’ve decided to open your own coffee shop? And I assume not just anywhere in the world, but
in a country that is producing coffee? Opening a shop in a producing country can be an incredible
experience but also presents its own set of challenges that are unique to that fact that you are quite
possibly no longer living in your home country.
Today I’m going to give you five simple tips that will help you set-up your shop abroad, in any country
and not just a coffee producing nation.
The amount of cultural learning that occurs while picking up a language is crucial to being able to
provide excellent service to your local customers as the language you speak even impacts the way you
view the world. I personally studied in a language school for nine weeks and had lived in the country
for almost two years before I opened my shop. I’m not saying you have to live in country for that
amount of time beforehand, but it wouldn’t hurt. It would in fact allow you to really dive into the
culture, learn the language and get comfortable before you decide to invest a lot of money into your
shop.
