Light Coffee Shop
Amsterdam is so much more then coffee shops and the Red Light District. Why do people think thats all it is?
Thank you for posting this question. I totally agree. I've been living in Amsterdam for over a year now and LOVE it and get really annoyed when the sex and the drugs is all people can think of when amsterdam comes to mind.
As far as getting away from it... you can. I live just 10mins from centraal station and the only time I see a "sex" or "erotic" is well...never.. unless I hang out in the RLD but I never do so problem solved. I'm not so much against the pot so it doesn't phase me if I pass by a coffeeshop... barely notice them to begin with.
There's so much more in this city to notice. Arcitecture, culture, canals, cafes, ducks, swans, music and art. I love it here and get really defensive of this beautiful place I call home.

Coffee Shop Design - Avoid The Budget Trap And Save Your Money
In order to successfully enter a new market any food or drink outlet must exceed standards set by incumbent competitors.
So there is no point in opening a restaurant or cafe that fails to meet customers' expectations, which will almost invariably have been set by large chain operators spending large sums to attract carefully targeted groups of customers.
If you try to launch a new restaurant or cafe in to a crowded market without doing things right you won't get a second chance. Ugly doesn't sell. If you don't spend enough to solve this problem, which may be more that you want to spend, then you'll waste all of your money.
In our view, it is a failure to appreciate these simple facts that leads to the failure of most new food and drink ventures. We call this the budget trap. Here is a common scenario.
A would-be restaurateur or coffee shop owner has devised a concept and partly developed their sales offer. They may even have acquired premises. They have raised funds based on their own estimation of the likely costs or a loose quotation provide by a general builder. It is unlikely they have done enough proper market analysis to find out if their concept is best suited to their locality. So they have costs and market opinion based on gut feeling and can't really know what customers want or what it's going to cost to provide. On this basis they can't predict their break-even.
Next they find a suitable architect or designer specialising in food outlets. Most of these specialist designers are guarded because they have seen smaller clients fall into the budget trap many times; this makes the client suspicious.
The specialist designer discusses the project and possibly makes a site visit. They may analyse local competitors. They then express a rough view that the construction budget should be, for example, £2000 per square metre.
At this stage, based on other similar experiences, the designer may express concerns about the viability of the concept. They may say that it is pitched too low to the market and the cost per metre should be higher putting the set up costs or break even out of reach.
The client, being suspicious considers this advice but has a budget of £1000 per square metre. They haven't fitted a restaurant professionally before but nonetheless they assume the specialist designer is wrong or advising them to spend more out of self-interest. They don't see the need to use specialist fit out contractors to get the most out of the expert design. Some or all of these matters aren't discussed openly but the parties still agree to go ahead - the client thinking that the designer has overstated the costs and the designer thinking they have advised the client about how much they are going to have to invest and that the client can raise the extra money.
The budget trap has now been set.
The project proceeds and the designer produces drawings with which the client is happy. The next stage of more complex drawings is produced, often taking days or weeks. Everyone is happy.
Next the designer suggests some specialist fit out contractors to build the outlet properly and asks them to tender. A specification is drawn up that includes many items that the client, being inexperienced, forgot to include in their budget or underestimated. The tenders are returned and they are all around £2000 per square metre. Double the funds the client has raised but in line with the designer's predictions.
Guess what happens next? Well if there isn't a dispute then the design gets cut back. The costs of providing basic services to the restaurant, such as heating, ventilation, kitchens and toilets are always about 65% of the total. These costs can't be reduced, they have been designed to minimum building standards set by law. So the cuts happen in the furnishings, light fittings and decorations.
The project goes ahead but now the budget trap has been sprung. The restaurant or cafe does not come up to the standard of the incumbent competition, let alone exceed it. Customers do not come or if they do they are unimpressed and they don't return. Word spreads, quickly these days because of social networking. The venture fails, sometimes within weeks, and all the investment is lost.
We can help you to avoid this budget trap. Working with a specialist quantity surveyor we can provide truthful, independent and detailed advice about project costs before your project commences or as soon as initial drawings have been prepared. This advice is then updated throughout the project. Of course we charge for this service but our fees are a small proportion of the total costs. They are an investment to make sure you plan your finances properly and don't get caught in the budget trap.
