The Coffee Club Franchising (NZ)

Ever thought you would love the freedom of owning your own business, but were worried about doing it alone? Well you can have your cake and eat it too when you join one of the fastest growing cafe groups in New Zealand. As a franchisee with The Coffee Club, you will have all the ingredients required for success!

The Coffee Club provides an upmarket, stylish and welcoming fit-out, together with Good Food, Great Service & Excellent Coffee. This ensures The Coffee Club is always the place to meet. Our proven track record of over 200 stores across New Zealand & Australia, together with our quality training and ongoing support programmes, mean you can start business on the right foot.

At The Coffee Club, we continually strive to be a leader in the franchising and retail hospitality industries. We are constantly refining the way we go about our business. We're always looking for better ways to do things. But there's another important difference. We believe the days of the ‘Big Brother' head office are over. We have developed a consultative business model where we work together to create an even better enterprise. It's a comprehensive system that is firmly grounded in the principles of contemporary business planning, as we strive for ‘best practice' in the retail hospitality sector. At the centre of it all are what we call The Six Building Blocks of The Coffee Club franchise system:

1. Mission & core values
2. People
3. Marketing
4. Operations
5. Property
6. Financial management

Franchisees are trained in each of these areas using contemporary teaching methods which emphasise ‘learning by doing' and detailed manuals developed by the company.

The Coffee Club franchise system is really all about the benefits that flow when likeminded people work together to achieve favourable outcomes. While our key responsibility as franchisor is to build The Coffee Club brand, we are equally committed to considering each franchisee's individual needs.
Ultimately, however, everything we do, we do in our customers' interests. That's why they choose to meet at The Coffee Club in the first place. It's essential that they keep on doing so.
