Contingency Planning + Emergency Readiness
for Specialty Coffee Shops and Roasters

Keep the coffee and revenue flowing during challenging times.

PLAN. PIVOT. THRIVE.

Life is about creating memorable experiences with the people who matter most. From farm to cup, we believe coffee is the universal language that unites us all.

Your specialty coffee shop is the heart of the community, fostering connection, conversation, and the memorable moments we all cherish.

And, we know that business and life are predictably unpredictable. As a specialty coffee leader, your financial resilience depends on having a plan for disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic showed that many coffee professionals were unprepared.

To confidently navigate challenging times, you need a strategy and a plan for potential risks. Start by understanding your Resilience Factor to identify gaps. Schedule a free Resilience Assessment to explore potential impacts on your business and how to address them.
