Week 8 BOC: Progress on my Final Project

So far, the theme of the coffee shop I have in mind would be something like a minimalism, yet edgy, artsy style. There will be some premium coffee beans, vegetarian food, different variety of teas, non-vegetarian food, and freshly made smoothies. This coffee shop will look expensive and the location looks like a great spot to make this absolutely possible. There will be a ton of space for art shows, open mic nights, poetry slams, etc. The coffee shop again, will be called ‘The Bean Break’; I’ve done research to check if that name was taken, but it was available and I believe that it would grab people’s attention. It will be different than Jamba Juice and Starbucks by having entertainment for a few days a week to keep the business busy. I took a step back and asked myself, “What kind of coffee shop would I go to?” The idea popped up in my head with the entertainment and selling coffee/smoothies and delicious food. It sounds like an ordinary coffee shop, but what makes it different is, again, the entertainment portion of this place. I created an idea as to what type of place I would go to than an ordinary coffee shop for creative minds like myself and other people. ‘The Bean Break’ would not only be entertaining, but absolutely satisfying to guests’ wants and needs. The free Wi-Fi would also grab people’s attention since most Starbucks’ have very little space to focus on working on homework and such. I am also still deciding if I should have a stamp/punch card for guests, for example, a guest comes in to get a coffee or a smoothie and they get a stamp for that and after 9 stamps, their 10^th stamp would be a free coffee or free smoothie.
