    Introducing coffee sale to retail shop - implications?!

    Slightly the same. I have an alternative shop, while serving one day I asked a couple who were browsing if they would like a drink as the kettle had just boiled.

    What furniture do we need for the retail premises to start a retail business(shop)?
