The Human Bean Franchise Model Overview
The Human Bean outlets are drive-through espresso stands serving coffee drinks, the franchisor-affiliated BRIGHT energy drinks and related items, typically from a 14-to-16-foot-wide site-built or modular building, or from a converted existing structure. Most of the investment is real estate work: new construction with site prep, paving, signage and equipment runs well into seven figures, while conversions of existing buildings cost less. The fee structure is the distinguishing feature. There is no royalty and only a small brand fee; instead the franchisor's affiliates supply coffee beans, energy drinks and equipment, so the economics run through required product purchases. Owners need not work the stand personally, but it must always be under their direct supervision or a designated manager's, and opening a unit means training a crew of roughly two dozen hourly employees. The system, founded in southern Oregon in 1998, has grown steadily; affiliates own twelve outlets. Buyers of existing outlets pay a flat transfer fee.
