Being responsible for your own business under a franchise business model has many benefits! The perfect balance of freedom and support, it appeals to those who are either experienced or unfamiliar with running a business.
If you’re contemplating becoming part of a franchise and after some insider knowledge, we have the article for you! We share what it’s like to be a franchisee if you are after a hands-on experience with Esquires Coffee.
Our coffee shop franchise in the UK offers many opportunities across all regions of the country. For more information about our franchising business model, take a look at the financial requirements in our blog below!
Early Start
Feeling prepared has many benefits and puts you in good stead for the rest of the day. Heading to your coffee store to get everything set up in advance sparks a sense of pride in each of our franchise owners, knowing that they are responsible for their own business while receiving the expert of Esquires Coffee.
For some, an early start is life-transforming, and instead of feeling like a duty, it can feel like a huge reward. Watching your local area slowly wake up for its sleepy tranquillity to an exciting hub of activity is quite the experience and one that doesn’t get boring for franchise owners!

Team Motivation
Approachable and well-trained baristas and staff members are essential in creating a welcoming and professional atmosphere. Leading by example is one of the fundamental ways to ensure you create happy and healthy environments that your staff want to be a part of.
Setting the tone each day by having pride in your business can go a long way in creating a team atmosphere where people aren’t afraid to ask questions and do the best job they can do.
Creating a Good Rapport with Customers
An enjoyable part of the day is socialising with customers. Creating a positive atmosphere amongst your staff will spread to the customers, who will be delighted by your team's welcoming environment and professionalism.
Keeping on top of orders and ensuring consistency can go a long way when making sure customers feel cared for and prioritised.
Store Closing
As the working day ends, ensuring that all equipment is correctly cleaned and any hygiene requirements are met is usually at the top of the agenda for our franchise owners.
Anything that will help you stay organised the next day should be done at the end of the day to make sure you’re always ahead.
Saying thank you to your staff members for their hard work is a must too!
