Cafe2U Ltd

About us

Cafe2U has actively been selling franchises in the UK since the summer of 2005. Cafe2U was the first coffee franchise to take quality espresso coffee direct to its customers - truly a mobile coffee service or, as the name explains, Cafe2U! Now with more than 30 franchises we are the fastest growing mobile espresso coffee business in the UK. In Australia we also have more than 70 franchises and continue to remain the No.1 mobile espresso operator in the world!

Our Franchise concept

Are you fed up with your daily routine? Are you looking for an opportunity that will reward you for your hard work? Do you want to decide when you work? If the answer is yes to any of these questions and you want to spend more time with your family and friends, and build your own profitable business at the same time then Cafe2U is the franchise business for you.
Cafe2U is a proven concept that offers franchisees the freedom to choose their working hours and location. You do not need to have prior hospitality or coffee related experience. You can run this business on your own or with a partner, working from home with minimal overheads and guaranteed healthy returns. To ensure your success, we provide an extensive induction programme, exclusive Cafe2U territories, superb marketing support and ongoing training.

Cafe2U is a quality coffee shop on wheels, bringing premium espresso coffee and other treats to places those high street coffee shops cannot reach! – business districts, retail parks, industrial estates, out-of-town offices, indoor or outdoor functions and shows – anywhere that’s not next to a coffee shop! Our franchisees run a daily route that their customers eagerly look forward to, choosing from a variety of premium coffees in all shapes, sizes and flavours, as well as tea, smoothies, juices, hot chocolate, mouth watering cookies, muffins and cakes, salads, sandwiches, hot foods and more.
Cafe2U really does target a captive market. The meteoric rise of high street coffee shops proves that people have developed a sophisticated taste for decent coffee. The majority of workers, however, are not located next to a coffee shop and have to make do with a kettle and a jar of instant tucked away in the corner. Cafe2U changes all that. We bring customers what they want – quality and variety superbly presented to them right where they work.

“Change your lifestyle today”

Cafe2U was born in Sydney, Australia in 2001 where its network of franchisees earns an excellent income. Here in the UK we are proving this is also the case for this exciting market. Now Cafe2U is in the UK and is looking for partners in Ireland too. We aim to have a delivery unit in every town in Britain and Ireland in the next three years. You could be the next Cafe2U franchisee!

Here are just a few reasons why it could work for you:

• You earn a fantastic income; a cup of coffee in the UK can achieve up to a whopping 2,000 per cent mark up!
• You are your own boss.
• You provide a high street coffee shop service but don’t have to work high street coffee shop hours, leaving you more time for family and friends.
• You get a high level of repeat business from your customers who love to see you.
• You don’t have to climb the greasy corporate pole.
• You don’t have to commute to work.
• Your quality of life improves because you are in control.

Further Advantages of the Cafe2U Franchise System

Here are some more great benefits of the Cafe2U Franchise System:

• We provide fully accredited barista training ensuring our customers get the best quality coffee and service at all times. Cafe2U also ensures franchisees are trained in preparation, business controls, marketing, and promotion.
• Our franchisees own and operate their independent business with the benefit of using the Cafe2U name and reputation, with continued support from Cafe2U.
• Low fixed operating costs due to the great design and operation of Cafe2U vehicles and equipment, eliminating any unnecessary expenses.
• Cafe2U is the only Mobile Coffee Franchise System in the UK to meet HACCP Certification requirements. This means peace of mind for all Cafe2U customers and Franchisees.
• We assist our franchisees in identifying suitable trading locations.
• We have been able to negotiate better rates of finance and insurance to assist you in owning and operating a Cafe2U business sooner.
• Our franchisees receive the benefit of national advertising and promotional activities at a lower cost than independent operations.
• Our franchisees can call on the knowledge and experience of Cafe2U Franchise Support Managers to assist them at any time.
• Our franchisees benefit from Cafe2U's research and development, which are designed to improve the business and keep it competitive.
• Defined Cafe2U territories help protect our franchisees from competition, and can then be sold independent of the vehicle at a later date.
• A Cafe2U franchisee can always contact fellow franchisees to discuss their business challenges, something a non-franchised business can never do.

What do I do now?

Take as much advice as you require from your advisors around you. We have worked tirelessly to improving and maintaining our product over here in the UK for the last three years (One year as a pilot and a further two selling the franchises to date).

Don’t forget this was already a proven business model from Australia who now have been trading for over six years and have more than 65 Cafe2U vans on the road.

The franchise must feel right for you. We can arrange for you to spend time with one of our franchisees. You will want to sit down with us as your potential franchisor. Remember we’ve got to get to know you as well so we can start to build a profile too – we do not just sign up every interested party. You’ll need to show us you’re right for our business. We have a responsibility to protect our brand and build effectively within the continual growing coffee industry
