With over 15 years of experience in the coffee industry, I am excited to offer my expertise to help launch your new coffee shop. This is based not just on learning about coffee for over 10,000 hours – writing about it, speaking with experts, conducting lots of research but on running my coffee shop for three years in a very challenging environment in Africa but also with my team member who has almost 10 years setting up and scaling a global brand food and beverage outlets on four continents. In addition, we have developed a master class on creating an entrepreneurial mindset in setting up a coffee shop which covers all aspects from skills, business plan and secrets of financial management.
In summary we will provide a comprehensive consulting package to guide you through the startup process and set your business up for success.
