Someone should point this video (start at minute 26) to the coffee shops in Saudi Arabia. Austin Baker’s talk at Ignite Phoenix. The title of his talk was Running A Successful Coffee Establishment.
A good presentation, here are Austin’s points:
- Atmosphere – Comfortable, relaxed
- Drinks
- Location, Location, Location
- Seating
- Wifi and other Amenities
- Good Music
- Friendly Staff — Friendly staff can make or break a coffee shop
- Customers — If you can keep a shop busy, people will come
- Good Drinks
- Fresh Roasted Coffee Beans – almost no coffee shops in Saudi Arabia with roasters
- Consistency
- Great Ingredients
- Great Presentation — Latte Art means you are doing a handfull of things right
- Give ‘em What They Want
Maybe I should make a rating system based on those factors to rate coffee shops in Saudi Arabia. Via Arizona Coffee.
