Team 7 conducted research to determine the viability of opening the first cat café in Grand Rapids, Michigan called Happy Cat Café. They analyzed customer preferences through an online questionnaire, finding that most customers would spend 0-45 minutes in the cat area with 1-10 cats and prefer a separate fee for food/drinks and admission. They recommend strategies like social media marketing, student discounts, and membership programs to promote Happy Cat Café's mission of saving cats and connecting people.
