The average costs for leasehold improvements range from $200,000 to $900,000 and the total estimated investment could range from $539,750 to $1,618,500. These costs vary depending upon the availability and prices of labor and materials and whether certain costs will be borne by the landlord.
They also depend on the model type that you open. There are times when second generation space is available which has the potential to reduce a percentage of the construction costs. Construction costs can also be offset in part by landlord improvement dollars. The cost of land, if purchased, and sitework vary depending upon the location and condition of the property.
We cannot estimate the cost of purchasing land or site work, which will vary considerably from location to location. Please refer to Item 7 of our Franchise Disclosure Document for additional information or see the Investment tab on this website

No, The Coffee:30 Café is a breakfast, brunch, and lunch cafe. We realized that it was very important to have a strong lunch menu. We are typically open from 7 am to 2 pm seven days a week. We see a very equal distribution of sales over that time because of our impressive lunch menu!
We do allow our franchise partners to open for private events in the evenings if they have an opportunity.
We love operators! More importantly we love great business people who know how to develop teams and share our passion for The Coffee:30 brand and the premium breakfast & lunch space as a whole.
Whether it is a single unit, six units, or a whole market, we work together to make sure that the overall opportunity is a great fit for all parties.
Our target market has an average of 100k population within a five-mile radius and a household income of 100k or more. These markets can vary dramatically. From smaller cities of around 50,000 that serve as regional/parish seats attracting surrounding communities through established medical centers, regional attractions, higher education, and government facilities to the thriving suburbs of major metropolitan areas. The Coffee:30 Cafe is designed to perform effectively across a full spectrum of markets!
The timeline to open a Coffee:30 Cafe can range from as little as six months to approximately 18 months, depending on the type of real estate selected.
Locations requiring leasehold improvements typically move faster, while purchasing land and new construction naturally extends the process. Additional factors such as material availability, contractor scheduling, and local real estate market may also impact the overall timeline.
The initial franchise fee is $45,000 for a Café and/or $35,000 for an Express with discounts applied to all additional units that are signed at the time of the initial agreement.
At the execution of the development agreement, the first cafe fee and a 50% deposit for each additional cafe in the development agreement are due at signing. Our Royalties are 5% for a Café and 6% for an Express and the Brand Development Fund is 2% We do require you spend an additional 1% in your local market, but we do not collect this amount from you.
Operating a Coffee:30 Cafe typically requires a team of 32-45 employees, depending on sales volume and the ratio of full-time to part-time staff. Each location is required to maintain key positions which include a General Manager, Kitchen Manager, and Bar Manager, all essential for successful operations.
Often times larger groups want to bring in an Operating Partner to manage the daily operations. We do require that this person have ownership in your structure and has a background in multiple unit operations and the experience required to develop the number of cafes that you are seeking. A formal, legally binding Operating Agreement (OA) is required to define the rights and responsibilities of all partners.
Employees and management love our hours of operations. Our one-shift operation allows them to enjoy family time or have a second job if needed to support their family. We find hiring and retaining spectacular talent to be a bit easier than other casual dining establishments.
While results vary by market and labor conditions, we've consistently found that experienced managers and dedicated responsible employees value our operating hours just as much as our owners do!
For new cafés, our four-week training program is required for you, your General Manager, Bar Manager, and Kitchen Manager. Training takes place at one of our corporately owned locations and provides hands-on experience in daily operations. As an owner, you’ll also complete an abbreviated course focused on accounting, quality control, and other KPI’s essential to managing day to day operations.
When your café is ready to open, we send a certified training team of five people for two or more days to ensure a smooth launch. We stay until we all agree your team is confident and ready. Additionally, our “Train-the-Trainer” program empowers you to train new staff onsite, eliminating the need and expense of offsite training at corporate locations. Additional management and staff training are included, as needed as part of our ongoing support.
