Hello from Senegal! 🇸🇳
Hey everyone! Just joined from Senegal, Africa. I'm blown away by this community. I’m here to learn global business mindsets, connect with ambitious builders, and see how I can add value from my side of the world. Let's connect!"

Welcome from Vienna! Senegal's coffee culture is fascinating — are you already working in the industry there, or is this more about building toward something new?

@Abo Diop Really cool, how are you looking capital wise? are you looking 100% for investment or also putting any part yourself?
Why 60% of coffee shops fail in year one... This is what I learned!
I talk to a lot of people who want to open a cafe, and almost none of them have this done. No full business case. No complete list of variable costs. No complete list of fixed costs — the stuff you pay even on the days you're closed. No real number for total investment needed before you open the door. And here's the part that actually worries me: more than 60% of coffee shops fail in year one, and more than 80% don't make it past year five. I used to think that was because people didn't try hard enough. I don't think that anymore. I think it's because people assume it's simple. Pick a nice space, get a good machine, make good coffee, done. It's the opposite of simple. The owners who make it are the ones who sat down early and got honest about the numbers — before the lease, before the buildout, before any of it. You don't need my template for this. Use whatever system works for you. But please, please do not sign anything until you've built these three lists yourself: 1. Every variable cost — what changes with how busy you are 2. Every fixed cost — what you pay whether you're open or not 3. Your full investment number — everything it takes to actually get the doors open If you want the breakdown I use with people going through this, comment "Lists" and I'll send it your way. ☕ P.S. This is for anyone who's serious about opening, even if it's a year or two out. If you're just daydreaming about it, that's fine too — just know these three lists are where the daydream turns into a real plan.

@Dipendra GahatRaj Welcome! What stage are you at right now — still in the idea phase, or do you have something more concrete in the works?

@Pierino Hristov Sounds like you've already got a clear sense of purpose, which honestly is more than most people starting out have. What's the current setup — are you already operating in some form, or still in the planning phase? That context matters a lot for where to focus next.
Coffee shop
Hello everyone. I did my first activity finding some coffee shops and places I wouldn´t like. One was in a station and is was hidding I want my coffee shop to be visible. The other one was interesting becaused it was a theme coffee shop by mostly from a Disney movie and I will love one for my characters but i am the same time. However, I think my target are students, writers and business people

Visibility is one of those things that sounds obvious until you see how many shops get it wrong — good instinct to flag it early. The themed concept is interesting though, what kind of characters are you thinking? That detail matters a lot for whether it becomes a gimmick or an actual identity.
