Location, Location, Location. If you have heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times. Nothing may be more critical to your Coffee House &/or Cafe success than location.

Therefore during our approach to finding your location, we analyze and identify your competition both obvious and many not so obvious. We will examine the effects of schools, gymnasiums, churches, and other centers of commerce that are easy and efficient to market to and will serve as the cornerstone of your operation while you brand yourself to tourists and town-folk.

Upon request, we will travel to your location and complete a full on-site location analysis of the numerous choices you may be considering. This hands-on approach will provide you complete insight to help you evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of potential locations.

Tenant Lease/Purchase Suggestions and Review

Business is business and your landlord/realtor is an essential partner in building your Coffee House &/or Cafe. We at JMT recommend you have a lawyer review every lease with which you are presented. In turn our consultants at JMT will provide a complete analytical review of your lease and provide suggestions on how to best capitalize on negotiations, and other valuable options that will assist you in your negotiations with the landlord/realtor.

Our in-depth scrutiny, in conjunction with your attorney's review, will arm you with valuable insights that will help protect your business investment and ensure the viability of your Coffee House &/or Cafe. You will receive a detailed written report outlining suggestions on how to capitalize on your lease negotiations along with follow-ups until a site is selected.

Plan Analysis and Review

Allow us to see if your current plan passes the "common sense test" from the experts in Coffee House &/or Cafe ownership. Let us review your plan for function, profitability, proper equipment placement, and that it has considered the use and purpose of each component along with menu expansion and growth.

Equipment Selection & Where To Get It

When it comes to equipment always remember, "You Don't Know - What - You Don't Know". What is your experience in sourcing food service components from thousands of selections available from various manufacturers, not to mention the hundreds of vendors who claim their equipment is the best and the least expensive. One wrong selection may result in you paying for that mistake for a very long time in the terms of both money and inefficiency.

To eliminate the confusion and to ensure proper selection, quality and price, JMT has a preferred vendors list to resolve all problems associated with selecting your equipment. Our preferred vendors provide the finest quality espresso machines, refrigeration units, and commercial kitchenware in the industry. JMT will help you to obtain the lowest possible price on the worlds' finest equipment. In the end, we will provide a service schedule for each item and the servicing agent in your area for each piece of equipment.

Interior Design

Have you ever walked into a Coffee House &/or Cafe and felt immediately comfortable, relaxed, or at ease? Or possibly the environment was positively stimulating or energetic. Why do some places feel better than others? Why do people enjoy sitting at one place more than another?

Has it ever crossed your mind why people pay five dollars for a beverage without batting an eye or having a second thought of what it is they are buying? The reason for this is simple: ATMOSPHERE AND THE EXPERIENCE.

The atmosphere and moods you create throughout various times of the day with the proper use of lighting, temperature, design, textiles and art provide the atmosphere often MOST ENJOYED BY COFFEE HOUSE &/OR CAFE PATRONS.

The feel of your Coffee House &/or Cafe is essential to your success and its survival. As the owner you are directly responsible for the atmosphere and climate of your establishment.

The interior design package includes every minute detail in creating your INTERIOR EXPERIENCE. Working one-on-one with us, a timeline and checklists are developed to organize the hundreds of details that need attending to. Our designers will assist you in the selection of all artwork, furniture and lighting fixtures. If you would like to have community involvement we will help you develop a community art program.

To finish off this project we will gladly spend two days at your location to assist in any final coordination. (For this ervice we only charge airfare, hotel, and per diem.)

How We Would Design & Layout

Allow us, the experts in Coffee House &/or Cafe design and layout to create a uniquely custom designed store just for you. We will recommend traffic patterns of employees and patrons, local building codes and health requirements. We will work with you to review your Operational Needs and your leased space to develop an optimum utilization plan. This plan will identify major food and drink preparation areas and general customer flow patterns. This bird's eye view will provide the first breath of life into your dream Coffee House & Cafe.

Your Coffee House &/or Cafe design plan will be further deveolped to identify the location and size of your counters (front & back) and major pieces of equipment, as well as furniture layout. This plan will coordinate your millwork counters with the traditional pieces of equipment needed to meet your menu needs. During this phase we create the back bone of your space and you begin to feel a sense of ownership of what we have created together.

We will work with you to complete your entire equipment schedule and provide complete electrical and plumbing needs that wil assist your general contractor and architect team. We coordingate directly with your general contractor and architect to ensure clarification of all drawings and measurements used. This part of the plan brings everything into functional reality. We will assist you, your general contractor and architect all the way through the project. 

Menu Design

Too often people ask, "What should be on my menu and how much??

We will work with you in developing a winning menu that incorporates some tried and true as well as teach you how to develop your own flair and interaction with your team as well as your guests. We call it 'morphing'. We show you how to cost out ideas and how to implement them in a winning yet flexible way.

Small Ware and Consumable Product Requirements

Small wares, while not the backbone of your operation, needs as much attention as your refrigeration units and espresso equipment. Let us help you select the appropriate type and quantity of utensils and equipment you will need to serve beverages, food products, and conduct general serving and cleaning operations.

Our comprehensive A-Z list will ensure your employees have everything they need to do their job efficiently. Our list is specifically tailored to your operational requirements. Included in this package is a complete overview of consumables designed to reduce costs due to over use by both employees and patrons.

Our comprehensive list of suppliers will ensure you receive the best quality products at affordable pricing. (We will have free samples sent directly to your door.) We will ensure you have everything you need for the first 30-45 days of operation. Nothing causes more stress in any coffee operation than running out of supplies and product. Let us help you eliminate this issue.

Coffee House Live Music Development

Have you ever wondered how some Coffee House &/or Cafes have a great Live Music lineup? They seem to always have a great line up? Or an awesome Open 'Mic" night experience? We will have members of our music team reach out to the local music community to help bring you in contact with those in the know.

Set Up and Pre Opening Training

We will work with you to get ready to open for business. We will make recommendations for what needs to be done as well as when and who to hire, when to and how much training you will need. We will help you make sure you are ready to unlock the door.
