Overview

Build the business skills to run a successful coffee venture.

Turn your coffee passion into a business. This program walks you through everything needed to plan, launch, and run a coffee venture — building a clear business concept and realistic costing, understanding your startup capital and funding options, analyzing your market and competitors, and setting up the operational and staffing fundamentals that keep a café or roastery running day to day.

You'll leave with more than theory: a practical business plan built around your own concept, informed by real coffee-industry economics rather than generic startup advice — the clarity and confidence to take the next step, whether that's opening your first counter or formalizing a business you've already started.

What You’ll Learn

The Full Curriculum.

01

Business Concept & Planning

Build a clear coffee business concept and a practical business plan covering your niche, target market, and menu — the foundation every other decision, and any funding conversation, is built on.

02

Startup Costs & Capital

Understand realistic startup costs — equipment, renovations, initial inventory, permits — and explore funding options, so you go in with numbers instead of guesses.

03

Market Analysis

Learn to analyze your market, your customers, and your competitors, so your concept is built around real demand rather than assumptions about what a coffee business should look like.

04

Operations Essentials

Cover location, equipment selection, and staffing fundamentals — the operational backbone that determines whether a great concept survives its first year.

05

Build a brand and marketing strategy that drives daily traffic and long-term growth, from opening-day promotion to the systems that keep customers coming back.
