How do we select the location of the store? Who negotiates the terms and conditions of the lease?
Our leasing team decides where the best location for the shop will be. Our team have extensive knowledge in leasing and will provide you with a market analysis and will negotiate the terms and conditions of the lease with the landlord. In the case you have a certain area or shop in mind, we would first have to review the site and then give an approval to proceed.
What kind of profit can I expect?
It is around 12-25% without you working full time at the store. It is also dependent on rent and performance of the shop.
How much is your royalty fee?
Unlike other regular franchises we do not take percentage royalties but instead charge a minimal flat franchise fee.
I have previous experience in the café industry. What is the advantage of joining your franchise over owning my own store?
70% of our current franchisees have extensive knowledge and experience in the hospitality industry. They have chosen to join our franchise and adopt our system to grow further within the industry. The core values of our system include:
Brand recognition
Lease negotiation: we are able to receive prime locations and competitive rent prices due to our portfolio.
Consistent and quality product supply.
Training and quality control
Trend reading and development
How long does it take for the shop to open?
This is mostly dependent on the Landlord’s opening plan. If the shop is available for us to work on it generally takes around 11-15 weeks (7-9 weeks for Design, Documentation, Council’s approval + 4~6 weeks fitout period)
Where do I purchase the goods from?
Leaf Café & Co Head Office supplies most of the goods for our franchisees except for fresh goods, which we have made partnerships with various suppliers to ensure that our stores receive a continuous supply of high quality products at an agreed competitive price.
Am I able to sell my business?
Yes, you may sell your business to a prospective buyer however the buyer must meet our requirements.
