Really Awesome Coffee – Elvis Carvalho Case Study

Date

Feb 10, 2017


Before setting up my Really Awesome Coffee franchise I served in the Royal Navy for 27 years and left as a Warrant Officer.

Getting started with my franchise was relatively straight forward. The hands on experience on the head quarters van was essential and very good. Also getting hold of someone at head office for support is very easy.

I trade from 07.50am – 2.00pm which is approximately 30hrs per week. I enjoy talking to customers, developing new products, being outside getting fresh air and the natural exercise the franchise brings.  I have a great relationship with my regular customers especially the first two/three hours of my round, these are mainly office and industrial stops. 


The van design is great and the awning is invaluable. I love the EPoS Touch Screen Till System, I would have definitely upgraded even if it was not standard.


The feedback I have received has been very positive for the drinks and sandwiches. The van design is great and the awning is invaluable. I love the EPoS Touch Screen Till System, I would have definitely upgraded even if it was not standard.

My future plans for my business are to further develop my daily route to maximise Monday to Friday profit and then conduct small community events.
