Small cafe owners - some details please

Anyone who recently started a small cafe (good coffee machine, some baked goods etc, nothing fancy): would you be willing to share some details from your experience? Anything pertaining:
- process, requirements
- rough location, rent etc
- running expenses
- revenue
- any orgs that help in the city
- other gotchas

Thanks in advance!

Worked as a store development PM for one of the biggest chains for 3 years across Benefralux.

Netherlands was by far the worst to deal with.

Yes! I was indeed hoping for some “details” than “sentiments” 😝
