Research, Practical & Social implications: This study is a suggestion for coffee shop MSMEs to develop the innovation capability because of its role in improving quality, efficiency, speed and flexibility in a business. Based on the raised in this study, Coffee Shops in Malang are capable of innovating the products and market.

Originality/value: The value of the study that Business Orientation and Innovation Capability could serve as the drive for Operational Performance. However, entrepreneurial orientation is more significant in having the ability to innovate than those who do not have the ability in entrepreneurship. Likewise, if a company emphasizes proactiveness in its business activities, it will automatically encourage high performance but does not rule out the possibility of being universally applied seeing that MSMEs have the same characteristics.
