Advance your career in coffee by opening your own coffee shop. Find out why investing in the coffee industry is a good idea, and what it takes to make your business succeed.
Why Invest in the Coffee Industry
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages around the world. We use it to wake up, to chat over, drink it hot or iced, straight up or specialized, while sitting still or on the go. Coffee has become an important part of American life. According to Statista, projected U.S. coffee revenues for 2023 will be $95.58 billion.
As the industry grows, so do opportunities for careers in coffee. By 2025, Statista predicts out-of-the-home coffee consumption will be 89% of spending. That means people will need coffee shops to keep their supply of coffee coming. A coffee shop like Beans & Brews Coffeehouse has a simple menu with high-profit margins, offering breakfast, lunch, and snacks along with coffee and tea, plus stores with both sit-down and drive-thru options. Our franchisees have an excellent chance to generate profits.
Roles to Play in the Coffee Industry
There’s far more to having a career in coffee than being a barista. Specialty coffee careers include:
- Coffee roaster: Coffee roasters find the right temperature, humidity, and altitude for roasting to achieve the best flavor.
- Coffee educator: You can teach people about coffee’s qualities and flavors, just like a sommelier teaches consumers about wine.
- Coffee shop owner: You can own a coffee shop, creating a neighborhood gathering spot for coffee and tea beverages.
There’s a coffee shop franchise that includes all the above: Beans & Brews Coffeehouse. From High-Altitude Roasting™ to consumer education and community hub-making, Beans has it all.
Coffee Shop Owner Skills and Experience
Opening any business requires certain skills and experience; opening a coffee shop is no different. If you want your coffee shop to thrive, foster these qualities:
- Have a passion for all things coffee! Coffee is more than a beverage; it’s a way of life. Surround yourself with coffee and coffee culture, creating delicious drinks and a warm, convenient atmosphere your customers will return to time and again.
- Having some experience working in a coffee shop is also a plus. Maybe you’ve worked as a barista. Perhaps you’ve been a coffee roaster. Any industry experience you can bring to the table is going to be to your benefit.
- Communication and leadership skills are essential to running a successful business. Both skills come in handy when working with staff and interacting with customers.
- Business skills will help you navigate marketing, staffing, and bookkeeping.
- Buy a coffee franchise. A franchisor will provide you with a business blueprint and the necessary training to run your franchise coffee shop.
