Coffee Shop & Restaurant Consulting

There are many challenges that coffee shop entrepreneurs face — from choosing the right location and concept, to creating a menu and securing reliable suppliers. In addition, they must address key questions such as: Should I start my own concept or adopt a franchise? Should I focus on takeaway or seating? Should I choose a city center or a suburban location?

In this ever-changing environment, many people who are now active in the foodservice market — or who wish to enter it — are looking for expert support to avoid costly mistakes and accelerate their success. And indeed, there are successful business models that can be adapted and repeated, as well as valuable tools that can be transferred from large international chains to small businesses.

Our goal is to bring these methods and tools to small and medium-sized coffee businesses and to startups, offering affordable consulting tailored to each business’s resources, goals, and ambitions.

That’s where Alpha Anaptixi comes in. We provide personalized, hands-on consulting for those wishing to open, expand, or reorganize their coffee shop business, and we help you avoid typical traps that often lead to costly mistakes or failure.
