"New Cafe' to take a space in my Office Building"?

"New Cafe' to take a space in my Office Building" We have a vacant office space in a large building (to whom I work for) and it lies 4 miles south of a busy public road with a Shopping Mall located on that strip. There are several Starbucks, Barns and Nobles, and a few coffee shops in this historical district of town. Anyway, a group of us have decided to bring the committee of our building in and offer them an idea to fill up the extra office space. The idea has to benefit the employees who work in the building and also generate enough revenue to pay their share of expenses and help with the building's lease. My idea is to have a cafe' in there with us. The idea would to have be modernized, decorated with comfortable sofas, cafe tables and chairs, desks, dim lighting, a cafe' bar and be filled with light earth tone colors and whites. I want my idea to be Perfect. I also insist on having WIFI access so that customers can bring their laptops in and continue their work on their free time (eg, lunch breaks, etc). I figured the company would start out slow, at first so not many employees would have to be hired. I thought maybe 2 per shift, one having management responsibilities and the other be a general customer service rep. Both employees will have to be trained on how to make the coffees, espressos, cappuccinos, etc the most precise way and they take fair part in prepping the machines each day and maintaining the drinks that people order. What would be some tips I could get by doing this? How can I prove this as a successful turn out to convince my committee to do this? What other things will I need to know and be prepared for, before I present this to the committee? My presentation is on Sunday. tls
