Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a coffee franchise cost?

Coffee and beverage franchise costs range from under $100,000 for carts and kiosks to $1 million or more for a standalone drive-thru coffee building. Real estate and equipment drive most of the spread. Item 7 of each FDD lists the exact initial investment range.

What is the cheapest coffee franchise to open?

The lowest-capital coffee and beverage franchise opportunities are typically cart, kiosk, and mobile formats that avoid a full building lease, and many start under $150,000. Sort the table above by lowest investment to compare entry costs.

Are coffee franchises profitable?

Coffee, tea, and specialty-beverage concepts benefit from high margins and repeat daily visits, but volume depends heavily on location. Brands that disclose Item 19 let you review real average sales before investing. Use the Item 19 filter to find beverage franchises that publish revenue.

What royalty do coffee franchises charge?

Coffee and beverage franchise royalties generally fall between 5% and 7% of gross sales, plus an advertising-fund contribution in most systems. All ongoing fees appear in Item 6 of the FDD. Compare rates across brands in the table above.
