Description

Shape the success of one of Australia’s most recognised café brands.

At The Coffee Club, we’re about more than great coffee. For over 35 years, we’ve been creating places where friends meet, families connect and communities come together.

Today, as part of the Minor DKL Food Group and global Minor International family, we’re one of Australia’s leading food franchisors with hundreds of stores across Australia and internationally. As our network continues to evolve, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate Franchise Business Coach to join our Franchise Operations team.

About the Role

As a Franchise Business Coach (FBC), you’ll work alongside Franchise Partners to help them build stronger, more profitable businesses and deliver an exceptional customer experience.

You’ll act as a trusted advisor and coach, providing hands-on support to improve sales, profitability, operational standards and team capability. Through regular store visits, business reviews and performance coaching, you’ll help Franchise Partners identify opportunities, solve challenges and achieve their business goals.

Working as part of a high-performing Operations team, you’ll combine strong commercial acumen with practical coaching and relationship-building skills to drive success across your network of stores.

The role is responsible for supporting Franchise Partners across a portfolio of stores primarily located between Brisbane South and the NSW border. While most stores are within this territory, the portfolio also includes some locations across broader South East Queensland, requiring occasional travel throughout the region. Offering a high level of autonomy, this position is ideal for someone who enjoys being in the field, building meaningful relationships and creating real impact across the network.

About You

We’re looking for an experienced multi-site leader who knows how to build strong relationships, influence positive change and drive business performance. You’ll bring a coaching mindset, strong commercial acumen and a passion for helping franchisees succeed. You’ll ideally have experience in hospitality, retail or franchising, with a proven ability to improve sales, profitability, and operational standards across multiple locations.

Strong financial literacy, stakeholder management and communication skills are essential, while knowledge of franchising and the Franchising Code of Conduct will be highly regarded.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join a business that genuinely invests in its people and empowers them to make a difference.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, high-performing Operations team with the autonomy to own your region, build meaningful relationships and influence business outcomes across the network. No two days are the same, and you’ll have the opportunity to see the impact of your work firsthand.

In return, we offer:

  • Car allowance and fuel card.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • Employer-funded Paid Parental Leave.
  • Purchased Annual Leave.
  • Professional development and career growth opportunities.
  • Team events, celebrations and a strong culture of recognition.
  • Great coffee, every day.
  • The chance to be part of an iconic Australian brand with an exciting future.
