Bruce Milletto, president of Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup, spills the beans on how you can create a successful and profitable coffee business.
Featured Client
I met Keira Moody when she attended our coffee business school [AmericanBarista & Coffee School] in Portland, Oregon over a year ago.
Keira, a seasoned world traveler coming from a high powered corporate background, wanted to bring an authentic European coffee shop experience to the citizens of her home town in Fort Worth, Texas. We discussed her vision one day after class, and in sharing her love of Europe, Keira decided that we could help her create the coffee bar of her dreams....
Read More...Upon her request, I paid a visit to Fort Worth, and spent a day with Keira looking at potential locations.
We found the perfect location and, after helping her refine her concept, we created a store layout, sourced her equipment, recommended coffees and other consumable products, helped her develop a menu and were on-site for store opening and training. Keira also used some of her local resources to transform her store spacei nto a scene right out of Sienna. She also sourced a local baker who isrenowned for her high quality European styled pastries. We made sure her employees understood how to prepare espresso beverages by authentic Italian methods.
Upon latest reports, her efforts are working. The public is quickly discovering Keira's café, and once they have experienced Eurotazza, there is no going back. If you find yourself visiting the Dallas, Fort Worth area, I encourage you to stop by Eurotazza. I guarantee it will be worth the trip.

coffee consulting: our knowledge = your success
A Team Approach
Bellissimo
differs from other coffee-business consulting firms in that we take a
team approach to your project, drawing on the skills of a wide range of
coffee-industry professionals in marketing, finance, operations,
roasting, graphic design and training. As a result, your business
benefits from the multiple perspectives of our diversely talented and
experienced team members. After we assess your needs, we will match the
right consultant to each phase of your project, giving you optimal
impact for your consulting dollar.
Many consultants can help you with the portion of your business that is visible to your customers: store appearance, product choices and customer service. But what about the behind-the-scene requirements it takes to open and operate a profitable specialty coffee business: negotiating the best lease, choosing the right equipment and having a properly trained staff who can wow your customers with the perfect latte every time.
Bellissimo's expertise can help make your business profitable.
Bellissimo is the only coffee business consulting company that
can give you 100% of what you need: from creating your initial business
plan, to choosing a winning concept, to setting up your on-going
operational systems after you've opened your doors. And unlike most
other coffee business consultants, Bellissimo does not sell coffee or
equipment-the information you receive from us is unbiased and in your
best interest, not ours.
We can make your business one of our success stories.
No other coffee business consulting company has our experience. Our team includes the most trusted names in the coffee industry with over 75 years of combined experience.
