Why coffee?

Today’s coffee shop plays a unique role in our social interaction evoking different emotions in people. They are places to meet friends, places to find peace; they are places where business is performed in an ever-increasing manner, they are places to unwind after the stresses of a busy day. They function as an extension of homes and businesses, as well as a place to escape them.

Whatever the reason for visiting Esquires, each customer enjoys being in a comforting and peaceful environment where they can rely upon exceptional service and delicious food and coffee. Esquires draws on that need by providing a warm and welcoming experience while offering organic Fairtrade coffee, ground fresh for each delicious cup, along with a range of quality teas and the latest in health focused cold drinks. This clearly differentiates Esquires and has created a distinct goodwill with our customers who have become enduring and loyal devotees of the brand.

Running an Esquires outlet

From the moment you open, we will work alongside you and help you feel comfortable with the day to day running of your new franchise.

We will teach you all about coffee…and there is plenty to learn! We will help you source a delicious array of health focused food. To ensure a consistent, high-quality supply, we develop strong relationships with local catering providers. This means you will not have to dedicate valuable floor area to a fully compliant commercial kitchen, allowing you more space to host customers plus reduce labour and compliance costs.

All equipment we recommend has been rigidly scrutinised by Esquires to ensure the efficiencies and practicalities for the purpose employed, to ensure the successful operation of the franchise. We will assist you in acquiring the right staff for your store and empower you to monitor and continually improve your staff performance.

Finally, you will be left in good hands. All our tried and trusted systems are carefully documented in our operations and training manuals. If you are uncertain about anything you’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips – you can also contact our experience support team.

What we look for in a franchisee

A background in catering or retail is not required to run a successful esquires franchise, but you will need:

  • Commitment to maintaining Esquires high standards of service excellence
  • The ability to carefully follow set systems and procedures
  • Drive and ambition
  • A strong work ethic
  • A track record of success
  • A belief in yourself and your ability to achieve fantastic results
  • Initial franchise fees
  • Site selection and design and fit-out fees
  • Hiring of employees
  • Daily business operations
  • Paying royalties and other fees as required by the franchise agreement
