How can cafe coaching and mentorship benefit my business?

As standard, all our coaching is backed by accredited standards and ICF level expertise.

How is information from the surveys used?
We conduct new surveys approximately once a year to gather valuable insights into the Australian cafe industry and the dedicated individuals behind it. All surveys are, of course, confidential and anonymous. Given our platform’s specific focus on the cafe industry, we are in a position to generate powerful and impactful hospitality benchmarking, which helps us better understand how we can contribute and improve the industry. Our aim is to achieve a broad consensus on various aspects. Once all the data is collected and thoroughly analysed, we share a free comprehensive benchmark report with all community members. Your input and participation play a crucial role in shaping this insightful report.
Can I have more than one membership with you?
Sure, you can. Having two memberships is completely possible and often practical. For instance, if you’re a foodservice provider or work for one and also visit cafes regularly, it makes sense to hold both a food service account and a community membership. This way, you can efficiently support the cafes you do business with.
Feel free to use the site in a way that suits your needs, but do keep in mind that we monitor accounts to ensure legitimate usage. So, please use your memberships responsibly and for their intended purposes. Your cooperation helps maintain a thriving and trustworthy community.
When can I add my trade or service business to the directory and ecosystem?

For detailed information regarding availability dates and costs, please don’t hesitate to contact us. There is also a useful article in the Reading Room that you may find helpful in the meantime.
