  1. It looks like you are using MySQL. Apply the following to your CoffeeShop definition to use the table name employee.

    {
  "name": "CoffeeShop",
  "options": {
    "mysql": {
      "table": "employee"
    }
  },
  ...
}

    This is documented in Model definition JSON file.

  2. I'd recommend keeping with LoopBack's recommended directories until you gain more experience with the framework. If you really want to place models in a folder named controller, you'll want to look into the server/model-config.json file. At the top, you'll see a section for _meta.sources. You can add your new folder here and begin putting models in that folder.

    {
  "_meta": {
    "sources": [
      ...,
      "../controller"
    ]
  }
}
