How do I pick the right coffee roaster for my coffee shop?
There are three big factors to consider when choosing a coffee roaster for your business;
Quality versus cost of product
The services and support offered by your provided
The shard values held by both businesses.
First and foremost, do you like their coffee? Do you love it? Does the quality of the coffee roaster’s product match what you believe your customers will demand? If not, you will probably never fully realize the value of partnering with that provider. You should buy coffee from a roaster that makes coffee you enjoy and are proud to share with your customers. The more excited you are about the beans, the more excited the customer will be.
Second, many coffee roasters offer services beyond simply supplying your beans. Your coffee roaster is a partner in success. After all, if selling beans are how coffee roasters make money, good roaster partners may package great support to help keep the relationship strong. Great roasters offer services from training and education to marketing and co-branding. They coordinate shipping and support for the products as assisting with menu development, business planning and coffee equipment purchasing. Some roasters also offer equipment rental in the price of their coffee. And others will manage coffee equipment repairs and technical support.
Finally, and most importantly, do your business values align? What are your goals and dreams for your business? What are you passionate about? Starting a partnership with a coffee roaster that shares your values, offers great products and wants to help you succeed can really make a huge difference in the success of your business.
