Bellissimo: How to Work with Us
If you are a new or start-up coffee business, congratulations! You are entering a very rewarding and exciting industry. Over the years, Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup has worked with thousands of start-up coffeehouses and put them on the road to success. Our many years of combined industry experience enable us to offer our clients the most comprehensive and well-rounded consulting services available anywhere.
The Process
The following outlines the easiest and most efficient way for you to work with us. The first step is for you to define, as clearly as you can, your concept. The next step is to email or call us at 800.655.3955 and speak to one of our senior consultants or customer support specialists who will help you decide which of our consulting services best fit your specific application. A preliminary service quote will then be sent to you by email and a second phone conversation will be scheduled to discuss in greater detail any questions you might have regarding the quote and our services.
After you have had an opportunity to review the quote, we will be able to discuss the services in greater detail and draft a contract specific to your unique situation. In many cases, our clients simply choose to proceed with the initial service quote that we sent to them in the first email.
When you have made your decision to move forward by signing your custom-tailored contract, we will proceed at your pace, rendering the services as you need them.
Many of our consulting clients also make the decision to attend an intensive five-day program designed for the start-up coffee retailer at the American Barista & Coffee School (ABC's). This program, in conjunction with our consulting services, can save you from making thousands of dollars in very common and costly mistakes. Registered ABC's students are also entitled to a sizable discount on many of our consulting services.
In the meantime, we encourage you to check out our wide selection of books and DVDs for start-ups and existing retailers.
We eagerly await your call and look forward to working with you in the near future. Welcome to the Bellissimo family!

Featured Client
I have had the dream of opening my own coffee café for 15 years and moved to a brand new community in Arizona for that purpose. Several people advised me that the Coffee Fest trade show was a must before making any decisions.
My husband and I went to the Fest held in Seattle October '05 and signed up for several of their seminars, one of which was hosted by Bellissimo with Bruce Milletto as the speaker. As I sat and listened, I was inspired by his approach. His vision as to what a coffeehouse...

When I returned home, I called Bellissimo and discussed our plan to go forward. The entire staff was so gracious to me. The first service I contracted for was a Business and Financial Plan. I was truly blown away at how beautifully it was written...before my eyes...my dream unfolded on paper. They also contracted my logo development. My business plan and logo have been so well received and have given me such an excellent, high-end representation, that I truly believe that Bellissimo is the reason.
I got the space my café will be in as well as the financial backing I need. The great thing is, I can call Bellissimo any time I want to ask a question. They keep their word when they say, "We're your consulting company for life." They showed such personal interest in "little ole me" and really made me feel like I was a million dollar client.
BELLISSIMO ROCKS!
And as we prepare to open at the end of 06', it's so reassuring to know they've got my back!
