Buying A Coffee Shop Franchise – Understanding The Real Cost

by | 0 comments

If you’re considering buying a coffee shop franchise, it’s crucial to understand the actual cost before signing on the dotted line.

Our alternative to buying a coffee shop franchise:

At Hard Bean Coffee, we’ve developed a business model that sets us apart from traditional franchise coffee businesses. Here are three reasons why opening a coffee business with us is a better choice:

  1. No upfront franchise fees and no royalties on the back side

Our business model offers a unique financial advantage for entrepreneurs. We have no upfront franchise fees or back-end royalties, unlike the typical 5%, 6%, 7%, or 8% of sales paid to other franchises. Instead, you can use those funds to pay off loans or keep more earnings.

In addition, our package costs $100,000 or more less than most models, making it more accessible for those with limited capital. 

  1. Hard Bean imposes none of the restrictions a coffee franchise would

Our experience has proven that flexibility is the key to success for a coffee shop. As an independent owner, we know you possess valuable local knowledge that corporate offices lack. That’s why we impose no business restrictions on our owners – allowing them to seize new opportunities and drive their businesses to success.

A great example of why opening a coffee business with Hard Bean is a better choice over a coffee franchise is how our program helped our owners respond and thrive during the pandemic.

  1. Our coffee program is a great platform

If you have a slower or more difficult concept to launch, our coffee program can create a profitable platform to operate from. In addition, with no franchise fees or royalties, you have the financial breathing room to launch your concept, making Hard Bean a clear alternative to joining a coffee shop franchise.
