Cafe shop in shop: High School Intern Transforms Struggling Business
The Challenge
A local cafe was losing money and might have to lay off staff. As both a customer and intern, I saw a chance to do better.
Our Success
Within just one month, we made an extra ₩7.8 million a month and created three new jobs instead of cutting positions.
Dessert Menu Overhaul
We launched a shop-in-shop with premium local suppliers, focusing on quality, not just cheap prices.
424 dessert units sold in the first two weeks
Sold more coffee by pairing it with desserts
₩7.8M additional monthly revenue
Three new part-time positions created
