5 WAYS ROASTING YOUR OWN COFFEE CAN BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS:

  • Roasting your own coffee has significant cost savings compared to buying wholesale.

    For example, green coffee (raw product) costs on average $5-$7/ lbs. vs. wholesale at $15+/ lbs.

  • You and your staff will have a better understanding of the product you are serving.

    Learning to roast coffee will educate your team on so many aspects of coffee. It will allow them to explain to your customers how each coffee is unique, based on its origin story and taste profile. You will strengthen relationships with your team and customers.

  • Do you have great branding that your customers recognize and love?

    Bring your logo, colours, and message to your coffee packaging.

    Create a compelling story behind your packaging to give customers a reason to talk about it.

  • By sourcing and roasting your own branded coffee, you will boost your business and increase sales.

    Customers will experience new and unique coffees.

    Customers will continue their on-going support by bringing your unique coffee home.

  • By keeping your team engaged and developing new skills, you are increasing their value to the Café, facilitating personal growth, providing new career opportunities, and improving staff retention.

    Provide your staff with the opportunity to take on roles such as coffee roaster, being a roasting assistant, or even a packaging and logistics manager.
