Driven by decades of hands on hospitality experience and backed by our broad industry knowledge, the concept for Clever Cafe began with a group of us throwing ideas around and pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible.

Although our ideas were still in the embryonic stage, our motivation was crystal clear – to create a system that would support, enhance, and streamline the experience of cafe startups while also supporting established operators. 

We aimed to create a free cafe community where entrepreneurs could connect to vital industry elements. We also saw the importance in offering accessible, affordable resources and tools for sustainable business growth. Needless to say, it took some time to find the best way, but we were committed to putting cafe entrepreneurs first.

In the hospitality industry, success depends on understanding the importance of service, value, and experience for attracting and keeping customers. As we developed our ideas to enhance our members’ experience, these concepts kept surfacing. We knew that to truly benefit cafe entrepreneurs, we had to practice what we preach.

Given the recent challenges faced by the hospitality industry, we crafted our business plan with a strong focus on delivering supercharged value – packed with genuinely useful features that elevated our offerings. We aimed for optional opportunities without any obligations, yet we were committed to providing additional support to bolster sustainability. Therefore, we introduced an optional mentoring, coaching, and support area at an affordable price, ensuring flexiblity and freedom.

As our journey unfolds, we’re excited to share insights derived from extensive research and experience. The endorsement and support from industry leaders, enabling us to do what we love so we can serve others to do what they love, make this a truly sustainable and worthwhile venture, and we are humbled to be leading the charge.
