Design and build your very own cafe using the template provided.
1. Café:
Download and print the template to get started.
Colour it in, carefully cut it out and build your café – as per the instructions. (We think you can do a far better job than us with colouring in!)
Don’t forget to choose a name!
2. Healthy Choices:
What healthy drink and food options will you serve?
Time to design a menu!
Will you serve homemade foods such as soup or sandwiches?
What about seasonal foods?
Will you serve hot drinks, cold drinks - seasonal drinks?
Will you use local farmers, suppliers or will you buy from all over the country?
3. Dietary requirements:
What options will you serve for customers with varying dietary requirements?
For example, you might decide to brand/market your cafe as Vegan-only?
Here are some of the dietary restrictions you may want to consider:
Intolerances/allergies of
Dairy
Nut
Egg
Gluten free
Vegan
Vegetarians
Halal
Kosha

4. Environmental:
Can customers sit in your café, or will it be takeaway only, or both?
Will you use recyclable or reusable materials for your cups?
How is your cafe sustainable? How?
5. Extended Activity (ages 8+):
One of the best ways to see if your cafe works is to create a back story, give the cafe a purpose - why does the cafe exist? Are you answering a gap in the market, i.e. there aren't enough vegan cafes, or perhaps you want to create a child friendly cafe?
Think about who your customers are, where do they live, what do they do for a job, what are their hobbies, do they have children? (we call this a demographic)
Do you create an experience for your customers when they're there - have you heard about the cafe (or rather restaurant) in London that serves their customers in the dark? Madness, but it's incredibly cool!
What about staff, do you employ people?
Money, what money do you want/need to spend on food, how much food (based on your menu/sale prices) do you have to sell in order to cover this cost, as well as all the operating costs - such as staff wages, utility bills, rent etc.
