Foster Roaster & Barista Support Program for Exclusive Business Student Alumni

Our Foster Barista Support Program is exclusively offered to our Business students-Alumni only. It is an after class service we offer by phone, video conference, in-person and email. 

Most franchises ask you for an upfront fee between 100K and 300K, along with a monthly royalty fee between 9 and 12% off the top of your sales no matter if you are making money or not. We could easily sell franchises to our students but we don't do that. Instead we mentor and apprentice our students for a fee, until you decide you are ready to spread your wings and run your own coffee shop on your own. We don't do this for everyone, you have to qualify for it.
