Coffee Business Consultant | Café, Roastery & Brand Launches | Exited Founder Most coffee businesses fail from avoidable mistakes — wrong equipment, bad lease, underpriced menu, broken supply chain. I help founders, operators, and investors skip those mistakes, because I spent 13 years making and fixing them in my own company. My track record: Founded Blue Sail Coffee, scaled it for 11 years, exited in 2025 Launched 3 cafés — one ranked Top 100 in the world, twice Built a national roasting operation and closed deals with Walmart, Kroger, and Whole Foods Built two multi-million dollar brands from scratch Consulted for 40+ coffee brands worldwide — startups, roasters, exporters, private label What clients hire me for: Café & roastery launches (feasibility, equipment, layout, menu, SOPs) Buying a coffee business — due diligence and turnaround plans Equipment sourcing that saves thousands Wholesale program setup and B2B sales strategy DTC, Shopify, and subscription launches Private label, co-packing, and fulfillment Profitability audits for existing coffee shops After my exit, I founded The Coffee Operators, a consulting firm helping people launch, buy, and scale coffee businesses. I'm not a business coach — I'm an operator who's done every job in the coffee chain, green sourcing to retail shelf, and I give direct, specific answers, fast. If you're launching, buying, scaling, or fixing a coffee business, message me with where you are and where you're stuck. I'll tell you on the first call whether I can help and exactly what it will take.
