CONSULTING SERVICES FOR TEA CAFES
Tealeaves Consultant Services offers a complete plan
for setting up a tea café from inception to full operation with training
assistance and consulting at different levels. We can also helping existing
Cafes grow faster and improve profitability.Our plan is based on the English Tealeaves successful
operation that was started in 2002 and now offers a café serving lunch, a range
of over 125 loose leaf teas (drink in café, take out or brew at home), tea
parties, tea accessories and gifts.
Your new business will benefit from the real world experiences
of Tealeaves’ owners and management with over 12 years in the field. Their successes and more importantly their failures
would help new start-ups save tens of thousands of dollars, frustration and expedite
success.
Many tea café startups fail because of weak concept viability,
poor tea knowledge, insufficient retail business knowledge and loss of passion
due to the longer start up ramp consuming so much energy and resources. Our
plans and assistance allow a new company to enjoy the benefit of a proven model
without the restrictions of a franchise operation, at a lower cost and with no royalty
payments. It also gives the owners the flexibility to add their own ideas and
yet have guidance from experienced advisers. We offer three packages or can
tailor to your specific requirements.
A questionnaire for evaluating potential start ups is
available to help determine if this enterprise is really for you and that you
have the necessary skills and capital to go forward. We look forward to sharing
our knowledge to ensure you realize the vision for your Tea Café. Email to:
