A book offering practical advice and strategies for opening and running a cafe. Based on the author's experience, it describes realistic, concrete methods and details of starting a cafe.

The news these days makes clear that running a small business isn't easy. Difficult customers, sales problems, and many other challenges make it harder to take the plunge than before.

As I walk around my neighborhood's commercial areas, I see all kinds of businesses open and then disappear. Cafes are the most common. Even on mixed-use streets with shops and homes, there are so many: five cafes from well-known brands, three bakeries selling coffee, and eleven independent cafes, all within a 150-meter radius.

Jeon Gi-hong: Jeon Gi-hong's Cafe Management X-Files
For more than a decade, people have been saying the cafe market is saturated, yet the number of cafes has not fallen; it has grown exponentially. As of November 2023, there were reportedly 96,584 coffee and beverage shops in Korea. There are 55,800 convenience stores nationwide, so cafes outnumber them by nearly two to one. Even in such an obviously crowded market, seeing famous cafes thrive or neighborhood cafes packed with customers can make you dream of opening one yourself. The old saying goes that starting is half the work, but simply opening a cafe is no longer enough to succeed. When there is a cafe on every other block, the key is how to survive. If you start with the naive idea that you want to escape salaried work and be called the boss, or leisurely make coffee in an atmospheric space instead of being overwhelmed by office work, your cafe could close in less than a year. Surviving this fiercely competitive market takes a systematic strategy. Assess your readiness to open a cafe, set a clear profit target, and build a detailed operating system that can lay the groundwork for success. If you are preparing to open a cafe or struggling to run one because of sluggish sales, open this book. Author Jeon Gi-hong started at a small independent cafe near Hankuk University of Foreign Studies and went on to become CEO of Craizer Coffee. He shares all the know-how needed to start a cafe, carefully covering everything from the right mindset to trade-area analysis, financing, marketing, and administrative work. Follow it step by step.
