Buying coffee or renting table? Bengaluru cafe owner faces loss due to customers spending ₹150 and overstaying

What happened: A Bengaluru cafe owner in Indiranagar reported losses because customers buy a single coffee and occupy tables for hours, according to a post on X by his friend. Key numbers: The owner invested roughly 60 to 70 lakh in the cafe. Customers spend about 150 rupees on one coffee. Why it matters: The post says the owner loses walk-in customers who find the cafe full, and he cannot ask overstaying customers to leave because one negative Google review can hurt the cafe's reputation.
