🔥 The Places License – ROAST / Sustainable Tier
3-Year Digital License
For roasters, cafés, bars, beverage producers, and coffee sellers.
Where coffee meets people — and where values take shape.
This license is for Places that roast, serve, or sell coffee in any form — from roasteries and cafés to bars, beverage producers, mobile setups, and shops. Whether you manage a team or work solo behind a cart, your role connects people with coffee — and with the systems behind it.
The Roast License helps you apply The Better Coffee Standard at the moment of experience: when someone tastes, listens, asks, or buys. It supports radical sourcing, honest language, and trade practices that make sense — upstream and down.
With the Sustainable Tier, you receive:
Full access to The Better Coffee Standard and Roast license documentation
The right to operate as The Place [Your Name] or [Your Location]
Branding, language, and identity tools to communicate with clarity and care
Participation in collective sourcing, co-organized sales, and public storytelling
Inclusion in educational sessions, campaigns, and system-wide visibility efforts
Access to The Places internal network — a living structure of mutual support
Administrative support from our core team — including legal, organizational, and strategic guidance
Shared pricing tools, stocking conditions, and ethical trade templates
Trust-based audits after 3 years (earlier if needed or requested)
Information exchange, training sessions, and co-hosted events
Talent and labor sharing across The Places — invite QC teams, educators, or help others grow
Equal standing in the network — no hierarchy, no HQ. Every Place operates on its own terms while honoring The Standard
💡 The Sustainable Tier reflects the base cost of ethical participation. It keeps the system accessible while respecting your labor and independence.
