One time only?
They had a ābad hairā day!
People are to sensitive nowadays, any mishap they want to āreviewā online and give minimal stars. WTF! Get over it, go somewhere else where they have a better service and coffee. Donāt waste time on āreviewsā.
two times.
the second time the staff went out of their to make up for it. great service, i had no need to leave a bad review for them.
not sure what your beef is with leaving a review, its very useful. and theres nothing wrong with holding people accountable who think its their right to give shitty service or insult customers. they should find a new job if thats their attitude.

yeah he couldnāt possibly have had a good business plan. I think heās done well, if itās so easy , everyone would do it
Not.
I will recommend a place when itās good, but never leave a negative review when itās bad. Iām not wasting time on that. If you think youāve had a bad service or experience talk to them in person or the manager.
Itās the same business plan as a zillion other businesses in Taiwan, itās the story of the poor father or single mother or the dream they had. People fall for it.

Louisa Coffee isnāt a great place to sit for a long time to work/study or chat with friends. Most branches donāt have sofas or even toilets. In the independent places, youāre typically paying extra for somewhere nice to sit for as long as you need to. It makes a lot of sense on the weekends, when Starbucks (which typically does have sofas and toilets) is noisy and packed. And Starbucks is pretty expensive anyway, either equal to or slightly less than most indies.
Arenāt you the monopoly guy? You must have wads of cash!
nah.
talking in person can be brushed off. writing a review might actually make a difference because its public. its a good system.
This is a wack Taiwan thing.
Like the toilets in China, open door!
And thatās where i say, screw the culture shit and embarass him as well.

A lot of them donāt. I have a pair of colleagues who were going to go in on buying a franchiseā¦Louisa (?) or something like that until they really did the figures for what they would need to make if they hired full-time staff (instead of using family), had a decent location, etc. I believe they said it would take them near three years to be seeing a profit.
I did ask a guy selling coffee off the back of his bike how many he sold and he said usually ~60 on weekends though has sold over 100 on a day before. He probably is in for $10 per cup and sells them for $30-50. Of course, no office worker dreams of quitting their job and selling coffee off the back of a bicycle.
Too many cafes and not enough customers result in low or no profits. It seems trendy business as well as one of easy entry. It seems a trend from Japan and I wonder if Japanese coffee cafes make money as it seems a cup of coffee is cheaper than Taiwan with double the rate of labour wages . (I see posts at coffee shops this week in Fukuoka pay rates YEN900-1,200 hour)
