Sectors we work in

Food and Drink Franchising

Franchise your food or drink business properly, or grow the network you have, with people who know how hard consistency is to keep across many sites.

Customers come back for the same dish, the same coffee and the same welcome. A food franchise has to deliver that in every site, with food safety built in. That is what we build with you.

How we help

Wherever your business is now.

Franchising for the first time

We look at your margins, your recipes and procedures, and your suppliers, then build the franchise with you: the numbers, the operations manual, the agreements, and the recruitment that finds your first franchisees.

Growing a food network

We find, follow up and qualify franchisees who know hospitality and can run a business to a high standard, so you spend your time with the right people. Every candidate runs through Familia IQ, our recruitment system, and we only get paid when you sign a franchisee.

Food and drink businesses we work with

Each has its own operation and its own kind of franchisee. We plan for both.

Our franchise consultants work across eight service sectors, so what works in one often helps another.

  • Quick service. Fast casual, takeaway and delivery-led brands.
  • Coffee shops and cafes. Coffee concepts, speciality drinks and neighbourhood cafes.
  • Casual dining. Table service, family dining and speciality cuisine.
  • Speciality food retail. Artisan products and shops that combine retail with food service.
  • Production and supply. Commercial kitchens, catering and food production.

Consistency is the whole game.

People eat and drink out often, so a good food brand earns repeat custom and loyalty that travels to new sites. But it only works if every site gets the recipes, the suppliers and the service right, every day. We build the systems and find the franchisees who will keep it that way, while leaving room for what each local market wants.

Questions food and drink businesses ask

Is franchising right for my food business?

It can be, if your recipes and procedures are written down and followed, you are consistently profitable, and the numbers work for a franchisee as well as for you. We look at that honestly. If you already franchise and recruitment has slowed, we can help with that too.

How do you find the right franchisees for a food business?

We look for people with hospitality experience who can also run a business to a high standard. Our campaigns lead with your numbers, your systems and the support you give, and we qualify every candidate before they reach you.

What support do food franchisees need?

Ongoing training, help managing suppliers, regular quality visits, food safety updates and local marketing that stays on brand. We help you set up support that keeps working as the network grows.

How do you handle food safety and compliance?

We write your food safety processes into the operations manual and give franchisees the policies, training and checklists they need. If you are new to franchising, we help you document what you already do. If you have a network, we help you strengthen it as you grow.

How long does it take to recruit food franchisees?

Good leads can come within weeks of a campaign starting. From first enquiry to signed agreement usually takes a few months, because candidates want to understand your concept, the fit-out costs and the support they will get. We manage that process for you.
