Beans &amp; Brews Coffeehouse\u2019s royalty fees are 5.5% of weekly gross revenue. The average amount of royalty fees paid by 19 locations in 2023 was $44,396.

We recently launched a line of plant-based energy drinks to provide customers with a coffee alternative, and we regularly add seasonal items to the mix, such as our Pumpkin Pie Latte in the fall.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Training and education<\/strong>: Franchisors provide comprehensive training programs funded by royalty fees. This ongoing education helps you and your staff stay updated on best practices, new products, and operational improvements.
