A friendly, buzzy atmosphere is essential and that is partly provided by our styling and the rest is down to you and your guests.

If you like talking to people, you will love this business as it gives plenty of time to chat with your customers between the brief periods of activity needed to serve the food.

Depending on the location, the precise mix of the offer can be determined. We know that great coffee and fine cakes are good staples of morning and afternoon trade and there are extras such as salads that accompany the main meals.

Part of the franchise package is market research in the locality to determine the best marketing and business plan, along with the location and styling.

This is a flexible business. It can be operated as a café, as a kiosk or even as a cart. That will affect the start-up cost as the franchise fee includes the fit-out and equipment required as well as the training and operations guide to ensure compliance with health and food hygiene regulations as well as commercial success: a true out–of–the–box service.
