CoffeeLabs are the first street café chain that fully applies the 3rd wave coffee concept. Quality became the foundation of CoffeeLab’s success, which very soon attracted a following of loyal customers.
CoffeeLab places emphasis on the development of the largest coffee franchise network in Greece, with more than 100 stores already in Greece, Cyprus and Egypt and with more soon in other countries. The main reason for this success is that CoffeeLab puts the principles of DIRECT TRADE into practice with full traceability and Sustainability and wants to extend this practice from the farmer to the consumer.
CoffeeLab’s café franchise proposal is particularly attractive due to the fact that each store is sure to be a great café, with all the competitive advantages. This is because CoffeeLab has consciously chosen this development model with franchise cafés and offers all the expertise, training and support needed. Furthermore, there is constant supervision and support without any charges based on the turnover (marketing and/or royalty fees). And of course, every CoffeeLab café franchise offers excellent quality coffee that their customers know and prefer.
“Truly good coffee is something very important, which is why when the consumer finds it, they don’t change it. We have seen this in practice in our stores,” notes Mr Roumeliotis, founder of CoffeeLab.
Furthermore, CoffeeLab franchise cafés offer unique products (Cold Brew Coffee, extraordinary beverages) and unsurpassed innovations (Cold Brew Coffee bottling, delicious preparation method of chocolate beverages).
This open invitation to whoever may be interested in acquiring a CoffeeLab franchise café, is a business opportunity. We offer a strong brand name, an organised operational support system, top quality raw material and a full training programme. The excellent franchise terms and flexibility in the shaping of each collaboration, offer the possibility of a low initial investment and a fast payback period of the initial investment. That’s why every new CoffeeLab franchise café is another success story waiting for someone to make it happen.
The great school of coffee
A successful training programme needs an inspiring teacher, an excellently equipped space and carefully designed procedures, just like at CoffeeLab’s training centre.
The creator of the programme is the founder of CoffeeLab, Stelios Roumeliotis, who has personally assumed the main responsibility and supervision of the programme. He applies all the experience and knowledge he has gained from previously working as a training supervisor for a large coffee company and places strong emphasis on education. He has won 1st prize in the 2008 and 2009 National Barista Championship and has also reached the top 20 Baristas in the 2008 and 2009 WBC World Championships in Copenhagen and Atlanta, in which 48 countries and 52 countries competed respectively.
CoffeeLab has its own specialised training centre at its central offices and facilities in Moschato, Athens with the sole purpose of fully training all the staff and partners of every CoffeeLab franchise café.
The training procedures offered ensure that all baristi are fully qualified both in the art of making coffee and in customer service. The training offered is much more than just the memorization of a mechanical coffee making process. CoffeeLab has 4 single origin varieties of coffee, different processing methods, a completely controlled roasting method and therefore needs coffee barista masters that are able to highlight the individual taste characteristics of each variety of coffee.
But success is routed in CoffeeLab’s basic philosophy, the philosophy that a barista must also be a believer. To believe that you deserve to enjoy your coffee, just as you want it.
The coffee barista master of CoffeeLab has the responsibility of preparing your coffee but has also got a privilege. The privilege of watching the happy end of your coffee story… which is in the first sip that you take.
