Why not search for the evidence which falsifies our theories, and change our theories to the one with tIghe strongest evidence?
How much money do you have to experiment with? If it is not very large, we have to consider the ability of whatever experiments we do to enable us to raise money for more experiments.
About 20% of small businesses fail in the first year, what happens if our coffee shop, for some reason, is one of them? Just having a better organisational structure does not mean it will be free of accidents or illnesses. And I am not worried about the loss of money, but that a single business failing or succeeding won’t allow us to falsify a hypothesis. A small business with a better business structure may only have a 10% chance of failing but we would need more trials to tease out the confounding variables (of which there are many).
I would also need to look into the history of cooperatively owned and other profit sharing businesses, but as they have not taken over the world I doubt they are strictly better than non-profit sharing businesses.
What I meant by take over the world is: Collectively be successful and displace other organisation types. Out-compete. Not literally take over the world.

“better” can mean a lot of things, only one of which is “more likely to take over the world”.
