Coffee Time customers look for and expect a high caliber experience in each location, which is why each franchisee must successfully complete the Coffee Time training program. Training starts at our Coffee Time Support Centre in Toronto, Ontario for new franchisee training, or another designated location depending on your requirements. Each new franchisee is required to attend a training course for four weeks.
This comprehensive course combines both hands-on instruction and on-the-job training for approximately 50 hours per week. The course covers basic principles of management, food preparation, customer service and other details vital to the success of your new business.
You will get the chance to meet with your support team, the director of operations & other key staff members. This meeting will allow our operations staff to get to know more about you and will give you further insight into our “day to day” operations and the level of expertise we provide to our franchisees.
On-going support will also consist of periodic training seminars for all staff, an appointed “Field Consultant” for your store, technical support, and open lines of communication with the corporate support team.
