Indonesia is one of the most potential markets for entrepreneurs who want to enter the coffee shop industry. Likewise with one of the local coffee shop businesses in South Jakarta, Carani. The phenomenon of coffee as one of the local wisdoms in Indonesia has encouraged Carani to have a vision of promoting the uniqueness of Indonesian coffee. However, Carani ran into various hurdles to keep his business. Carani's performance from early 2018 to early 2020 experienced fluctuating conditions, and in early 2020 experienced a drastic decline due to the effects of COVID-19. Then in mid-2020, the company started to improve its strategy in dealing with the impact of the pandemic. Currently, Carani has one store in Tebet, South Jakarta.

Interviews were also conducted due to changes in conditions caused by the pandemic which are likely to have an impact on customer value.
