Coffeeshop Company

Coffeeshop Company is a chain of Viennese-style coffeehouses from the Austrian Theophil group (formerly known as Schärf). It runs on the idea of “coffee under one roof” — the group roasts its own coffee in its own Austrian roastery and also develops and manufactures espresso machines and grinders, so it controls the whole experience from bean to cup. It differs from ordinary chains precisely through this vertical integration and its focus on the classic coffeehouse atmosphere rather than a quick to-go window.

As a franchisee you get a license to the brand, a proven concept, the group's own coffee and machines, store architecture, marketing assets, operating software for reporting, and training at the Austrian academy. You also have an operations manager for your market at hand. What stays on you is the premises and its fit-out, hiring and leading the team, daily operations, and local promotion. It's “turn-key” in what makes the coffee (bean, equipment, recipes), but the people and the operation are your responsibility.
