The Start-up call: your vision of the Coffee-Bike business

Are you ready to open a café on wheels as an independent entrepreneur? You already know the basics of the franchise concept. Now it's time to clarify your individual questions so that you can sell delicious coffee in your region as a Coffee-Biker in the near future.
