Our 3-Phase Coffee Consulting Model

A comprehensive journey from concept to sustainable growth, designed for lasting success.

Phase 1

Business Planning & Concept Development

Laying the foundation for a profitable café business

Coffee Shop Concept Development

We work with you one-on-one to clarify your business vision, target audience, core values, and product direction. Together, we craft a brand identity that stands out in your market—authentic, relevant, and profitable.

 

  • Brand positioning and mission clarity
  • Product direction & service model
  • Visual and verbal brand tone
  • Target audience profiling
  • Market-fit and differentiation

Coffee Shop Financial Planning

Your dream café must also be a sustainable business. We conduct a thorough financial feasibility study to ensure your concept fits your market, location, and goals.

 

  • Startup investment breakdown
  • Gross sales & net profit projections
  • Return on investment timeline
  • Rent feasibility analysis
  • Operating cost structure
  • 5-year financial growth forecast spreadsheet (Excel)

Coffee Bar Design & Workflow Planning

Before you break ground, we ensure your café is designed to function as beautifully as it looks. Our consultants (who've been baristas, not just designers) plan a workflow-driven bar layout.

 

  • Bar zone diagrams & working sketches
  • Ergonomic planning for staff efficiency
  • Equipment layout based on workflow
  • Equipment recommendations based on menu & concept

Menu Creation & Beverage Strategy

Menu development is one of the most creative and critical components of your café. Your menu defines your brand, drives operations, profit margins, and customer loyalty.

 

  • Initial menu discovery call
  • Signature drink concepting
  • Beverage costing sheet and profitability overview
  • Local market research & competitor analysis
  • Ingredient costing & pricing strategy

Coffee Roaster & Supplier Recommendation

Your roaster defines your flavor profile, cost structure, and brand ethos. We help you select the right coffee supplier for direct trade, local artisan, or scalable partnerships.

 

  • Flavor quality & sourcing ethics evaluation
  • Price-per-kg vs. margin opportunity analysis
  • Supply reliability assessment
  • Brand alignment & storytelling support

Phase 2

Execution & Team Onboarding

Building systems and training people to deliver your vision

Staff Training & Team Development

Your café is only as strong as your team. We provide hands-on, high-impact training to ensure your staff delivers consistent quality and service excellence from Day One.

 

  • Barista training (espresso, milk texturing, brewing)
  • POS and order-handling training
  • Mock service rounds & team drills
  • Front-of-house service protocols
  • Up-selling & customer engagement strategies

Custom Employee Operations Manual

Clarity builds consistency. We create a fully customized Operations Manual to align every team member with your café's vision, standards, and systems.

 

  • Brand & service philosophy
  • Opening/closing duties
  • Customer service scripts & recovery strategies
  • Job roles and daily task checklists
  • Cleanliness & hygiene SOPs

Menu Execution & Barista SOPs

Once the drinks are finalized, we ensure your team can prepare, serve, and sell each item consistently and profitably.

 

  • Step-by-step drink preparation sheets
  • Beverage presentation standards
  • Up-sell scripting and allergen notes
  • Barista training with recipe walk-throughs
  • Portion control for ingredients

Soft Launch & Pre-Opening Support

We help you simulate real service conditions before your official opening to reduce stress and fine-tune your café's rhythm.

 

  • Coordinate and execute soft launch event
  • Coach team through real-time scenarios
  • Collect feedback and make final tweaks
  • Refine workflows in live conditions
  • Troubleshoot service or equipment issues

Phase 3

Growth & Mentorship

Long-term support to evolve your café—and yourself

Ongoing Consulting & Operational Support

Opening your café is just the beginning. Long-term success comes from ongoing refinement, feedback, and evolution. We continue working alongside you as your business grows.

 

  • Monthly or quarterly performance reviews
  • Menu updates based on seasonal trends
  • New location or expansion consultation
  • Barista refresher trainings and skill upgrades
  • Staff motivation & retention strategies

Entrepreneur Mentorship & Personal Growth

This journey isn't just about coffee—it's about you. As your mentors, we're invested in your personal growth as an entrepreneur and understand the challenges of hospitality business ownership.

 

  • 1-on-1 check-ins focused on goals and leadership
  • Support in balancing life and business demands
  • Honest feedback and practical encouragement
  • Trusted sounding board for big decisions

You're Not Alone After Launch

Many cafés fail because they stop evolving. We help ensure you don't just survive, but sustain and scale. Our post-launch support isn't a service—it's a relationship.

 

  • Continuous evolution and adaptation support
  • Legacy building for long-term success
  • Scaling strategies for growth
  • Committed partnership beyond launch
