Running one of Hawaii’s Java Kai Coffee Franchises provide many with great coffee and coffee business.

Hawaii’s Java Kai is a franchised chain of coffee houses that operates in the United States. The family-owned business is based in Kauai, Hawaii, and has been in operation since 1997, with franchising beginning in 2000. The chain has several locations in Hawaii and California and offers franchises in Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Florida.

Coffee is one of the nation’s most popular beverages. The National Coffee Association (NCA) reported in its 2009 National Coffee Drinking Trends survey that more than half of adult Americans, 54 percent, consume coffee beverages on a daily basis. An impressive 63 percent of adult Americans drink coffee on a weekly basis, indicating that even in challenging economic times, the demand for coffee remains high.

Hawaii’s Java Kai coffee offers more than just coffee, however. Hawaii’s Java Kai considers its locations coffee restaurants or retail cafes. In addition to specialty coffees, the cafes offer both coffee-based and non-coffee hot and cold beverages, such as fruit smoothies and blended coffee drinks, and baked goods. They also sell prepackaged coffee beans and coffee-related and Hawaiian-themed gift items.

Other well-known coffee house chains, such as Starbucks and Seattle’s Best may seem similar, but no other franchise offers the unique flavor of the islands that is the signature of Hawaii’s Java Kai. Hawaii’s Java Kai offers a variety of Hawaiian coffees, the only 100 percent American coffee, and specialty blends developed by the company’s founders. Blends such as Hawaiian Islands Blend, ‘Ohana Blend and Surfer’s Blend, set Hawaii’s Java Kai apart from its competitors.

All franchises are owner operated, and franchisees are given comprehensive training and ongoing support by the home office in Kauai in all facets of the business including managing inventory, accounting, marketing, advertising, hiring and training staff and preparing food and beverages. Hawaii’s Java Kai also provides intensive training on coffee preparation and appreciation, including roasting and brewing.
