- Current and prospective cafe owners
- The cafe industry in South Korea grows rapidly. The number of cafes in South Korea had increased 15% from 2020 to 2021 even during the COVID-Pandemic. 10,000 cafes are founded annually, but the exit rate of self-employed cafes recorded 12% in 2021. Unlike franchise cafes, self-employed cafes need to demonstrate their own identity and own story to customers. However, there are too many steps to open a cafe as an individual like market research, real estate contact, material supply, interior construction, etc. Therefore, we are going to create a platform where self-employed cafe owners can share their own founding stories.
There are two major existing services called ChangUp in(창업인 = Start up people) and MyPuCha(마이프차 = My Franchise).
-
ChangUp in provides group chatting services to current owners and potential owners.
-
MyPuCha is a franchise community and platform for both current and potential franchise owners.
- First, we would like to start to interview the potential (meaning that people already preparing to open a café) and current café owners that we know of. Preferably, the interview will be held in-person if the interviewee allows (our team will visit the café or the place that interviewee prefers). We will also find more people to interview by asking interviewees their role model or cafes that they referred to.
