About The Human Bean
The Human Bean is a food service franchise available to qualified franchisees. Brands in quick-service and casual dining attract owners looking for an established system, recognized branding, and a documented path to opening.
Opening a The Human Bean franchise calls for an estimated total investment of $582,090–$1,298,903. That figure includes an initial franchise fee of $35,000, along with costs such as equipment, buildout, signage, initial inventory, and working capital.
The Human Bean includes a financial performance representation (Item 19) in its current FDD, meaning the franchisor discloses figures on unit-level sales or earnings. Reviewing Item 19 alongside validation calls with existing franchisees is the best way to gauge realistic performance.
Franchat tracks The Human Bean's disclosure data and makes the latest FDD available so you can compare it against other food service opportunities.
