23. Recommendations
According to survey our recommendations are:
If cafes could expand more in cuisine; add various cuisines in their
menu it will attract more and more customers
Along with varied menu if cafes provide variety of services like
smoking zone, comforting space for couples etc. then customers
would be more satisfied
We also recommend that cafes should provide various books for
developing a reading habit in the youth of Jaipur
Cafes can be a source of empowering and channelizing the
potentials of youth, so they must introduce various programmes or
activities where they can indulge themselves and relieve their stress.
