Hi all,
I am an IT executive interested in starting a coffee bar/cafe' business here in NY. The cafe' would cater to the motorcycle community (mostly the increasing cafe racer' community that is developing here and other parts of the country) as well as regular visitors on bicycles, cars, etc. I am an avid motorcyclist myself and have done my fair share of networking with these communities. I have tons of ideas on attracting visitors but am not sure about the coffee service itself. what type of coffee should I focus on? should i also consider selling beer? and how do you go about finding private investors, and identifying suitable locations? should I explore real estate agents, or are there little secrets and/or tips that you can share? need all of the help I can get. Right now i am building a business plan but that is only the first step. (and yes, i plan on keeping my six figure job for some time until I feel comfortable with its future.)
