At Crimson Cup, we're passionate about helping coffee house owners fulfill their dreams, providing them with everything they need to run an efficient and profitable business. - Greg Ubert.
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) January 31, 2015
Thinking of opening a coffee shop? The enduring popularity of the specialty coffee house has made this one of the most popular business ideas for coffee-loving entrepreneurs. Yet, statistics show that about half of all small businesses – including coffee shops – fail in the first three years after opening.
By contrast, more than 85 percent of coffee shops whose owners complete the 7 Steps to Success coffee franchise alternative program offered by Ohio coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea remain in business five years after opening. This proven program is based on Seven Steps to Success in the Specialty Coffee Industry, a common-sense guide by company Founder and President Greg Ubert.
More than 20 years ago, Ubert began with a dream of owning a coffee roasting business. He founded Crimson Cup in 1991 to roast and deliver the best-quality, freshest coffee on the market. As his roasting business grew, he began consulting with customers on how to make their independent coffee shops grow and thrive. Since then, he has helped set up hundreds of specialty coffee businesses in 28 states – including a dozen in 2014 alone.
“At Crimson Cup, we're passionate about helping coffee house owners fulfill their dreams, providing them with everything they need to run an efficient and profitable business,” Ubert said. “Our program includes on-site training, marketing materials, menu ideas and much more – all designed to help reduce costs, increase profits and eliminate potential headaches.”
Unlike a coffee shop franchise, Crimson Cup's 7 Steps program allows business owners to create a unique specialty coffee business that reflects their individual tastes and the needs of their local community.
“We offer everything a coffee shop franchise does – and more – but without franchise fees, royalties or business restrictions,” Ubert said. “We help the owner create a solid coffee shop business plan that covers all the bases, from choosing the all-important location to hiring and training staff, setting business hours and much more.”
