Its SAP. They won't keep track of the coffee or pastries or actual things in the shop. Instead they'll just make sure that everything is documented and the documents are tracked.

Also they'll come up with completely mindbogglingly stupid names for thing. Instead of coffee, they'll call it yellow. They'll refer to the pastries as pantsuits.

You will enter confused. As time goes on you will become more and more angry, more and more frustrated. You would like to leave, but your boss was told that SAP sold the best coffee, er yellow, in town and you're just going to have to wait until they get your order, er lineprinter, right.

LOL. You didn’t mention that the software for tracking their goods will cost more than they could ever make in coffee sales in a hundred years. But making a profit is not the objective. The objective is keeping careful track of how much you are losing until you go out of business.

I hope they name it “Sie Haben.” And because it is SAP, if you don’t request your coffee/pastry materials correctly you will get a cryptic error message that mixes English and German.
