Below is our recent interview with Kyung Han Bae, CEO at Unicup Company:

Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your company?

A: Unicup Coffee is a premium take-out coffee franchise brand from South Korea, founded with a mission to make every day feel a little more special. Headquartered in Busan International Financial Center, we combine the efficiency of a fast take-out system with the sophistication of a premium café experience. Beyond coffee, our parent company, Unicup Company, is also developing AI-driven F&B solutions to innovate franchise management and customer experience.

Q: What makes you the best choice? How are you unique?

A: We stand out by offering a “premium feel at a reasonable price.” While many brands compete only on price, we focus on delivering quality, design, and brand consistency that create lasting value for customers and franchisees. Our unique approach blends strong offline presence, creative marketing, and advanced AI technology, making us more than just a coffee chain — we are building a future-oriented F&B platform.

Q: Who is your ideal client and why?

A: Our ideal clients are ambitious entrepreneurs who value both profitability and brand credibility. We are best suited for individuals who want to operate a café franchise that balances efficiency with premium customer perception. For customers, our brand appeals to busy professionals who want quality coffee quickly without sacrificing style or taste.

Q: What can we expect from you in the next 6 months? What are your plans?

A: In the next six months, we plan to expand aggressively in Korea, with a target of 30–50 new franchise locations. At the same time, we are preparing our entry into overseas markets, starting with Asia and the Middle East. We are also developing digital infrastructure — including AI-based management tools and data-driven marketing systems — to support franchisees and scale rapidly.

Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?

A: Most people see us as a coffee brand, but behind the scenes, Unicup Company is also a tech-driven enterprise. We are investing in AI solutions that enhance franchise operations, customer loyalty programs, and even design automation. This hidden strength gives us the ability to grow faster and more sustainably compared to traditional F&B brands.
