Mini Cruiser FAQs
Is the Mini Cruiser right for me?
The Bitty & Beau’s Coffee Mini Cruiser is the most accessible way to step into our system—designed with the lowest cost to entry, a simplified setup, and a high-volume drink model built for efficiency. This fully mobile concept eliminates the need for a storefront and is intentionally designed to be easier to launch and operate, while still delivering the full impact of the brand.
That said, it’s important to understand what this journey requires. We’re looking for individuals who aren’t just excited about coffee—they’re passionate about people and ready to be hands-on. In the early stages, you’ll wear multiple hats—owner, operator, and ambassador for the brand. If you’re self-driven, adaptable, and energized by fast-paced service and community connection, the Mini Cruiser could be a strong fit.
What kind of investment is required?
The initial franchise fee for a Mini Coffee Cruiser is $20,000, along with a $29,000 investment for the fully built and branded trailer. The trailer is constructed to our specifications and includes key components that provide a strong, ready-to-launch foundation with clear, upfront pricing. In addition, franchisees will purchase certain required equipment, inventory, permits, and licensing. The total estimated investment range of $68,250–$83,450 includes the franchise fee, trailer, and these additional startup costs.
To make entry even more accessible, we work with trusted third-party financing partners who offer flexible funding options—including programs for qualified candidates that can cover up to 100% of the initial investment.
A complete breakdown of all costs is provided in Item 7 of our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What is the day-to-day experience like?
This is fast-paced, high-touch hospitality. Most Mini Cruiser sales come from events, pop-ups, and catering—settings that demand energy, flexibility, and exceptional service. You’ll need to adapt quickly, manage logistics, and create a consistent, positive experience wherever you go.
Who handles the Mini Coffee Cruiser build-out?
We’ve partnered with a trusted vendor who manages the entire build-out process for you. From construction and equipment installation to full branding, everything is done to our exact specifications.
What responsibilities will I have as a Cruiser owner?
Owning a Mini Coffee Cruiser means you’re in charge of all aspects of the operation. Your impact—and your success—will come down to your effort, business instincts, and how well you live out our mission. Like any business, there are no guarantees—but if you’re up for the challenge, the rewards can be meaningful in every way.
Who are we looking for?
We’re careful about who we invite into the Bitty & Beau’s Coffee family. We’re looking for financially responsible individuals with entrepreneurial grit, a growth mindset, and a strong moral compass. Our Mini Coffee Cruiser owners become long-term ambassadors of our mission—and we pour a lot into the people we believe in.
