Opo Coffee Startup Consulting Services

At Opo Coffee, we support aspiring coffee shop owners through every step of their journey — from concept to launch, and into long-term operational success. We combine deep industry expertise with practical, hands-on training to equip owners and teams with the tools they need to thrive.

Our Approach

We specialize in guiding first-time and experienced entrepreneurs through the complexities of launching a coffee shop. Our consulting and training model is built on three pillars:

1. Strategic Consulting – Business planning, layout, staffing, equipment, vendor selection, financials, and operations.
2. Coffee Education – SCA-certified courses and practical skills training for baristas, shift leads, and owners.
3. Ongoing Coaching – Post-opening accountability and strategy sessions to refine and grow your business.

Whether you’re just starting or preparing to open your doors, we offer a tiered structure to meet your level of need and commitment.
