A growing number of sustainability-conscious consumers have given rise to a trend in low and zero-waste restaurants – foodservice operators can officially be deemed 'zero waste' if 90% of their waste is reused, recycled and diverted from landfill.

Cafes are not just about catching up with friends, it's also about getting out of that office or out of the house; getting a break from routine life to give the mind a quick refresher.

Generally, a fast-paced environment forces customers to grab whatever they want and leave quickly. On the other hand, slow-tempo music provides your customers with a sense of total relaxation. As a result, they will be spending more time and money at the coffee house.
