Not a shop owner, but my guess would be that if I was a shop owner I'd be tight for time, and would rather see your list and add ideas, than type out my list and have a bunch of duplicate stuff you already thought of.

I think the first thing is to decide on a menu and then find out what your local health department will require. You may be required to have a full kitchen depending on what you intend to serve.
Some other things that may slip off the radar...
1. An accountant - have a strategy for acquiring/expensing your capitol costs to maximize your tax situation, plus handling payroll is a bear if you haven't done that kind of thing before.
2. Interior designer - the space makes the place
3. Operating capitol - you need cash on hand because you
probably
definitely will be operating at a loss for a while
4. At least one True or similar refer
5. An ice machine - plumbed in

At risk of sounding like a commercial for this shop, Buzz in Chicago has a great primer for those getting started:

Tex! You're back! You were gone so long I was getting kind of worried that you had contracted MRSA or something and were getting your butt amputated.

Any shop should have at least one hammer.
