The Ivy League Barista Academy has recently opened the doors of its new, state of the art, training facility in San Diego, California. As the only barista training facility of its kind in San Diego, ILBA aspires to become an asset to the coffee community with its excellent selection of coffee training programs. So much of a coffee businesses success weighs on a baristas ability to effectively and efficiently provide its customers with the highest possible level of product and customer service. The barista is the face of any coffee business and although your customer will gain many different impressions of your coffee business based on a number of observations, the barista behind the counter will have the biggest impact. In the coffee industry today we can witness a lack of standards and consistency across the country. Where we could once expect friendly and knowledgeable caffeinated customer service, we all too often today find slow and substandard quality. That is why ILBA is raising the bar for coffee baristas across the country.
Ivy League Barista Academy seeks to reform and revolutionize the coffee industry to a level of excellence beyond today’s standards. ILBA offers a wide array of informative courses that range in substance and length. For everyone from baristas, to business owners, ILBA teaches the most important skills and techniques in barista training and coffee business operations. With an expert team that has started over 550 coffee businesses worldwide ILBA is proud to be serving the coffee industry by preserving its quality and integrity.

On July 20,2007, a new health code went into effect in the state of California requiring mobile espresso, smoothie, and foodservice carts serving any blended items to have a three compartment sink to sanitize their utensils. Below is an excerpt from the actual code:
114313. (a)Except as specified in subdivision (b), mobile food facilities where non-prepackaged food is cooked, blended, or otherwise prepared shall provide a ware-washing sink with at least three compartments with two integral metal drainboards.
To meet the demand for this new state-mandated cart, Coffee Cart Biz Inc. has developed a turnkey three compartment sink station cart that has been the first of its kind to receive health department approvals in more than ten California counties. Coffee Cart Biz Inc. can build you a three compartment sink station that can work in conjunction with your current coffee cart business configuration, or they can build this unit as part of a new business setup. With this innovation, Coffee Cart Biz Inc can help to make your espresso, smoothie, or foodservice cart business fully health code compliant.
Should you franchise your future business or work with a company that specializes in design and development to help create your own?
Many potential new business owners are faced with this question. They have the option to join forces with the likes of Daily Grind, Cuppy’s, or Gloria Jean’s, and benefit from their proven operational systems, brand recognition, and marketing capabilities. Or they can develop their own concept with the help of a design and development company.
Companies like Advanced-Fabrication, Design and Layout Services, and Coffee House Milwork have burst onto the scene offering their services to ambitious new coffee business owners everywhere. These companies offer their design expertise, as well as their project management experience to ensure that their client’s businesses are streamlined and primed for success. The decision that has to be made between the two options depends on the amount of time and energy one is willing to invest.
