Personally, i might be totally wrong here and delusional but I thought in the area that i'm going up, it's such an up and coming area with a lot of younger people there it'll be a great area soon! I'm thinking about 2 years out at least.
Board games do sound like a lot of fun also. Also, i want some sort of intellectual conversation sort of nights also. I have some writer friends that might be able to help me out, and would be cool to get people have good conversation about the world, current events, books, and interesting topics.
And, i'm also quite sure that i won't have bubble tea in my shop either. Sorry!
Cheers!

If you by chance come down to Richmond or wanna chat, Im always up for it. However, I'm really fucking blunt and stubborn so don't take me super serious. I'm also not at the shop all the time so drop me a pm before hand.
Also for the electrical outlets and stuff, you guys are describing the 3 big coffee chains. If you are in the market to compete against them, good luck.
Coffee sales are about turnover. How much is that one seat worth in sales to you? If you have a 4 top and 1 guy buys a $3.00 Americano and sits there for 5 hours, you're not making much money off of it. If it don't make money, it don't make sense.
Your highest cost is not the rent, but your labour. I have 16 staff which is ridiculous, but I sacrifice some profit to get drinks and food out fast so customers don't have to wait.
Your clientele in Richmond is 99% Asian. If it's not, you're going out of business, fast. Trust me on this one. Hell even Vancouver, your main focus should be Asian. You need something that makes you different from other places. Richmond is a different beast compared to Vancouver. (My experience)
