Observation Of Port City Java Coffee Shop

In our society, we can see many different kinds of social setting and one of the most common settings is coffee shop. Indeed, there is at least one coffee shop on each block. According to Coffee Association of Canada, the market size of coffee industry in Canada is more than 6.2 billion dollars. It shows that how big and important this social setting is. Among a lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, Tim Horton, and Second Cup are the biggest and the most popular franchisers in Canada. If the purpose of visiting coffee shop is only for coffee itself, they might have not been grown like these days.

This is evidence of people going to coffee shops with their electrical devices, and, more than likely, using the free wifi. Along with reifying the idea of what a coffee shop should be like, as was previously mentioned, the decorations in a coffee shop tend to be very non-intrusive and rather pleasant. This, in conjunction with the free wifi and electricity, makes the coffee shop an excellent destination for study. For this reason, there tend to be a large number of students who attend coffee

After purchasing a drink I settled down to the left of the shop just by the window from this location, I observed several rituals through watching interactions and general behavior. My vantage point of view proved useful in the first trip so it was used for observation in subsequent visits as well. I also obtained information by interviewing an informant. The informant is an employee at the coffee shop: a barista who works mainly in the morning shift. The barista has been an employee at this particular Starbucks for three months. According to the informant, having been on duty during the early morning rush has provided sufficient material, which they have used to observe customer behavior, maybe for business strategy.

“Upon entering the store I noticed small pools of water left by customers shaking their umbrellas, and taking off their coats. There are still a lot of boxes of stock left in the aisles. Some are over 15 kilograms in weight. The work areas around the cash registers look very aged, with cardboard being used underneath one of the staff’s chairs so it remains balanced. Behind the cash registers cables to the computers are laid out on the floor. The electrical socket that is used for the printer / fax and the EFTPOS machine appears to have become loose. One of

I set out to find a place to begin my observations, not knowing what to fully expect, what I may find. So I decided to look around at what is close to my home that isn’t a place I frequent or have even visited at all. Then it came to me, the Starbucks that is only about a mile away is a perfect place for me to observe subjects that I would consider different from myself, seeing as how I consider such obscene prices for coffee ridiculous. Starbucks is a very popular chain of coffee vendors that describe their product as more about quality than what Americans are used to in typical coffee joints.

Joshua Davenport owned a coffee bar/bistro in the small town of Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania situated on the Delaware River. He wanted to bring the old world elegance to his rural community, a place where neighbors could meet and converse over espresso drinks prepared by an expert barista. The shops name is called “Espressivo” that attracted many young people, especially the college students at the nearby campus, and older

North of Manhattan, a good cup of coffee is hard to come by; the taste is lacking in strength and not much thought is put into its production. Profit-seeking coffee chains like Dunkin Donuts and Donut Delight are widespread and lack in quality. More often than not, coffee is a $3 afterthought of dessert, rather than a delicacy in itself. Lorca cafe, situated in downtown Stamford on Bedford Street, appreciates the artistry and skill that must be employed to brew a decent cup of coffee. Spanish and western-Mediterranean influences are uniform throughout the flavors and venue. The chic, modern atmosphere is equipped with ample power outlets to provide the perfect workplace for the productive

Patrons like myself stood in line scanning the café for empty tables and available seats. The arrangement of the tables in this area allowed for more seating flexibility and appeared to lower social boundaries between customers while encouraging interaction between members of cliques and individual patrons. Armed with my laptop and cappuccino, my observations occurred from an empty table in the center of the café.

Conducting a survey was one of the ways to get in touch with our possible future clients and also buyers. We wanted to find out what do people think about our project, would it be successful or not.

We conducted the survey at Zagreb School of Economics and Management and in many bars in Zagreb.

Stanley Fish is annoyed with the day to day process of buying his morning coffee. This is first evident on pg.286 at the beginning of the third paragraph, where Stanley recounts of simpler days when buying his coffee and breakfast. The author depicts the style of what coffee shops used to be as quoted “nondescript place fitted out largely in linoleum, Formica, and neon.” He further portrays being greeted the moment he sat down at to the counter places his order and twenty seconds later it arrives. Suddenly his tone changes into being describing what coffee shops are now with wood or concrete flooring, indie music, urban photos, and onion magazines. The author continues with characterizing the place as sophisticated and hard. Comparing the

I have been interested in Korean culture since high school. Therefore, I chose to observe a Korean restaurant in Manchester. I visited Seoul Kimchi in Upper Brook Street twice on Thursday, 5pm to 6pm and Saturday 1.30pm to 2.30pm.

In order to implement this plan of the customer grinding its own coffee beans, the whole Starbucks store operations must be modified. Currently, the retail stores has space where the partners (employees) work and serve customers, the "back" where the backroom and bathrooms are, and the café section where customers sit down and enjoy their drinks. Behind the counter, the floor is divided by the register, beverage station, digital brewer, and the pastry case. The register is the point of
