There is a cafe brand that is attracting the attention of prospective entrepreneurs as a trending franchise these days. It is Beoltoon, a comic cafe startup brand with Park Myungsoo as the representative model.
The comic cafe is characterized by having a different profit structure compared to regular cafes. In the case of regular cafes, customers pay for one drink, and the longer they stay, the lower the turnover rate, which greatly affects sales. As a result, many regular cafes that have sprung up rapidly have a high closure rate.
However, in the case of comic cafes, customers are charged by the hour, so the longer they stay, the higher the sales. Additionally, since customers can order coffee and food, it is emerging as a high-sales startup item and an alternative for cafe startups.
- Beoltoon, a comic cafe popular among customers
First, Beoltoon is a complex cultural space where comics and cafes meet, allowing customers to enjoy various contents such as comic books, arcade games, board games, and massages for an affordable price of 2,400 KRW per hour. It is especially known as a hot place among young people and is very popular. Famous YouTubers and influencers also visit Beoltoon to film mukbang content or post videos of their dates, garnering over a million views and gaining great love.
Beoltoon, which is attracting attention with its beautiful 2020 new interior, is gaining more popularity with various reviews on SNS such as "beautiful interior" and "interior perfect for taking photos."
- 2020 New Cafe Interior ‘Parisian’
The ‘Parisian’ new interior released in 2020 is a luxurious design reminiscent of Paris, Europe, created so that customers can enjoy the healing feeling of traveling while at the comic cafe Beoltoon.
Overall, it is based on navy color with beige tones added to create a cozy atmosphere before nightfall. Pastel colors that match the atmosphere of Parisian shopping streets are also used to provide a lively ambiance and unique warmth, making it a popular photo spot for customers visiting the store.
Franchise stores that opened Beoltoon in 2020 have adopted the Parisian new interior, and most reported high satisfaction with the interior, leading to many contracts.
- Unmanned payment system and kiosks revealed at the business briefing
With unmanned systems becoming a necessity rather than an option, Beoltoon, a leading cafe startup brand, has introduced kiosk unmanned machines at the entrance, enabling an annual labor cost saving of about 30,000,000 KRW and optimizing a comic cafe system that can be operated by just one employee.
- Unique business briefing held on Tuesday, June 9th at 1 PM
Beoltoon announced that it will hold a business briefing on Tuesday, June 9th at 1 PM at the Beoltoon Sinchon branch, where prospective entrepreneurs preparing to start a cafe business can directly see and experience how a comic cafe operates unmanned and the actual store interior setup.
Especially, the briefing will be conducted by ‘Park Seohee, the first instructor,’ a cafe startup legend with six years of experience at Coffee Bean and managing dozens of Beoltoon stores. She will provide premium startup information not found on the internet, including the current cafe startup situation, actual sales and net profits of Beoltoon franchise stores, recommendations for A-grade locations, and differences from regular cafes, all free of charge.
Moreover, the program includes fun elements such as tasting Beoltoon’s best menu items, experiencing the actual store, and certification shot events, making it a must-visit business briefing for prospective cafe entrepreneurs, according to word of mouth.
In addition, to ensure a hygienic briefing environment for visitors to the unique Beoltoon business briefing, hand sanitizers are provided, and the store is cleaned every hour, with strict attention to hygiene.
