Coffee Shop Franchise

Starting costs depend on your location and store format, but we aim to keep entry as accessible as possible. You’ll receive a detailed cost breakdown during the onboarding process. Our team helps with everything from budgeting to buildout. This is not a one-size-fits-all model, we work with you to create a setup that fits your local market while sticking to Kafeneo’s quality standards and brand identity.

No experience is necessary. We provide full training in barista skills, customer service, stock management, and daily operations. We’ve designed our coffee franchise to be accessible to new entrepreneurs who want a hands-on business. Many of our successful franchisees came from other industries. If you’re willing to learn and follow the system, we’ll make sure you’re fully equipped to run your store confidently.

You’ll get continuous support, not just a startup manual. This includes help with store setup, staff training, and marketing strategy. After launch, our field team checks in regularly to ensure standards are met and challenges are addressed. We also give you access to our supplier network and coffee roastery insights. From your first espresso to your hundredth customer, we’ll be right there to help you grow.

Kafeneo offers a South African-built model backed by quality coffee and simple operations. We’re not just a global brand repackaged for local use, our roots are here. That means better supplier relationships, faster service, and better pricing control. We also give franchisees the freedom to connect with their community while upholding Kafeneo’s quality standards. It’s a balance between structure and local ownership that few coffee shop franchises can match.

The process starts with an application. We’ll review your interest and set up a consultation to answer questions, share documents, and explore fit. If you’re approved, we guide you through the setup process, from location selection to training. Kafeneo doesn’t just sell franchises; we partner with people we believe in.
