Scooter's Coffee Franchise Model Overview

Scooter's Coffee stores are small drive-thru kiosks, typically 650 to 700 square feet with no seating, set on a pad in a retail parking lot and selling espresso drinks, smoothies and baked goods through drive-up windows. Kiosks make up most of the system. The building is modest, yet site work, a monument sign and a full equipment package bought largely through the franchisor's affiliate supply chain push the investment above a million dollars before land. Fees are a 6 percent royalty and a 2 percent national marketing contribution. Owners need not run the store, but a trained Designated Manager must, and an owner, manager or shift supervisor has to be on site whenever it is open; each 20 percent owner signs a guaranty. The system added more than 150 stores in three years and is almost entirely franchised. Item 19 reports several years of kiosk and end-cap results, and the franchisor keeps a 30-day right of first refusal on transfers.

Ideal owner profile

Owner or Designated Manager who will keep a supervisor on site every operating hour
Seven-figure capital, often with real estate ownership or ground-lease experience
Experience with high-throughput, hourly-staffed drive-thru operations and early-morning hours
Multi-unit operators can scale under a development agreement with discounted development fees
Comfortable buying inventory and equipment through the franchisor's affiliate supply chain
