August 16, 2006

Cuppy's Coffee, Smoothies & More is stepping above the competition by offering franchisees more than just basic training. The national franchise company is now offering progressive education through its Coffee College.

Cuppy's franchisees spend three days at Cuppy's Coffee College facilities in Fort Walton Beach, FL learning everything from store operations to drink preparation and customer service. At Coffee College, franchisees have the opportunity to network with other Cuppy's franchisees, share experiences and learn from top industry experts. Participants also graduate and receive a diploma complete with a corporate-wide ceremony.

Coffee College graduates spend a full day in basic barista training learning how to prepare perfect espresso based specialty drinks and smoothies in a hands-on environment that resembles one of Cuppy's Coffee Cafes and includes the same equipment found in Cuppy's coffee and smoothie shops.

'Learning about the business in this environment and helps the franchisees to feel more comfortable with their ability to succeed in their own store,' said Janice Baker, Director of Corporate Training, Cuppy's Coffee & More.

Coffee College also teaches franchisees the basics of the Cuppy's 'Coffee in Under a Minute' system. 'Our franchisees also receive three days of on-site training when their store opens, but Coffee College is the perfect opportunity for them to learn the basics,' said Baker.

Cuppy's Coffee College courses include: Barista Training, Customer Service, Drink Preparation, Sales Techniques, Goal Setting, Operational Budgets, Marketing, Menus, Employee Reviews, Management Reviews, and so much more!
