Training
Our Bad Ass Coffee onboarding team provides all franchise owners and managers with comprehensive training on the processes and procedures that are critical to operating your Bad Ass Coffee store in compliance with our brand and operations standards. Our initial 5-day training program takes place approximately 4-5 weeks prior to your store opening in our Salt Lake City, UT training store and includes a combination of classroom and hands-on in-store learning sessions. Trainees are introduced to every element of store & business management, coffee education, drink & food preparation, point-of-sale usage, visual merchandising and more. Approximately 1 week before your store opens, we conduct a “Training Tune Up” – this time in your own store and using your equipment to ensure that you and your team are prepared to run your store successfully allowing opening day to be nothing short of Bad Ass.
REAL ESTATE
Through strategic partners, we work with our franchisees during their site selection process to ensure that you’re positioned for success. Immediately after franchise orientation, we’ll work with you and a knowledgeable real estate partner to identify key location attributes and requirements to begin your search. Throughout the selection process, our operations team will consult and assist you in narrowing down your available options until a final location is identified and approved by our team. Our strategic partner will then continue their work with you until a final lease or purchase for your location is acceptable to you and approved by our team.


construction
Through our operations team and strategic construction partners, we’re able to provide you with all of the tools you need to build your Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii store. Whether you’re building from the ground up, or building out an existing space to our brand and operations standards, the operations team and construction partners will guide you through every step of the construction process including store design, project management, turnkey construction services or contractor selection assistance, equipment and décor purchasing. From architectural drawings to the final walk-through of your new store, we’re here to ensure that your store opens on-time, on-budget and ready to be Bad Ass.
