In the short term profitability can be increased through better margin management and moving margins gradually inline with industry benchmarks.

The restaurant/café is nowhere near its potential, more marketing on all social media platform will increase revenue and ultimately profitability in all departments.

In the longer terms profitability can be increased by franchising the business on a more exclusive basis than your typical famous brands franchises. The business model can be adapted to cater for "townships" as well as real affluent areas.
