The Coffee Industry is Changing — Are You Ready to Grow?

We Help Coffee Business Owners, Operators & Professionals Build Profitable, Sustainable Businesses & Careers.

Shifting consumer expectations and market conditions, AI and automation are reshaping the coffee business. Whether you run a coffee shop or chain, manage a roasting business, or are growing your career in the industry, adapting to change is essential.

Got Questions? Here’s What You Need to Know.

How does the coaching process work?

We start with a clarity session to diagnose bottlenecks and opportunities. Then, we create a strategy and execution plan tailored to your business or career.

Who is this for?

We work with coffee business owners and operators who want to scale and grow their business and coffee professionals who want to grow in their careers.

What makes this different from other coaching?

Most coaching only focuses on business strategy. We take a human-first approach—helping you improve your execution, leadership, and relationships so your strategies actually work.

Do I need to own a coffee shop to join?

No! We work with owners, operators, roasters, managers, and coffee professionals across the value chain.

Running a Coffee Business is Tough—But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.

Maybe you're:

  • Overwhelmed, constantly working in the business instead of on it.

  • Struggling with tight margins, rising costs, and profitability pressures.

  • Finding it hard to hire, retain, and lead a high-performing team.

  • Lacking a clear roadmap for sustainable growth & scaling.

  • Unsure how to adapt to industry shifts, technology, and AI-driven opportunities.

Tom Moffatt Founder and Head Coach

My Story:

I am Tom Moffatt and having worked in and around the hospitality industry for over 20 years, I’ve seen firsthand what makes coffee businesses and careers succeed—or fail.
I’ve helped businesses scale, turn around struggling operations, and worked with professionals to grow their careers.
More Than Beans exists to bridge the gap between passion and business and professional success.

I've had a diverse career in coffee, the food & beverage and hospitality business, business owner education, training and coaching. In that time working with owners, operators, and professionals across the coffee and non coffee industry to develop and grow. I think i've just about seen it all.

  • I started managing a 10-store coffee chain at just 20 years old—learning firsthand the challenges of leadership, operations, and profitability. We later successfully converted these to a scalable concept and opened new stores in this model too.

  • I led a major coffee shop transformation, improving margins, streamlining operations, and making businesses more profitable.

  • I’ve worked in startups, franchises, and established coffee brands, understanding the patterns of success and failure in the industry.

  • I became a business and leadership coach, and later built a growth agency for Australia's leading small and medium sized business coaching company, in the process helping 100's of businesses grow.

What I learned?

Success in coffee isn’t just about business tactics—it’s about people, leadership, and execution. That’s why More Than Beans takes a human-first approach to growth.
I respect you as the expert in your business and career and we are there to share, unpack and facilitate your growth on your own terms not ours.
