A coffee franchise refers to a business model where an individual or group (the franchisee) is granted the rights by a larger company (the franchisor) to operate a coffee shop or chain of coffee shops under the franchisor's brand name, using its established business practices, trademarks, and systems. This arrangement allows the franchisee to benefit from the brand recognition, marketing strategies, operational support, and proven business model of the franchisor while the franchisor expands its market presence and brand reach without directly managing additional locations.
