Franchise Information

What am I buying?

If you buy a Puccino's Worldwide franchise you are buying the right to trade under our brand name at a site chosen by you and Puccino's Worldwide.

What do I get for my money and what are the benefits?

You get a site, built and fitted out ready to trade (less stock!).

You get to trade with a known brand.

Full and on-going Operational Support from Puccino's Worldwide.

Training; Puccino's Worldwide believe in Train the Trainer approach.

You have the security of knowing that the concept is tried and tested across the country. You have the support of a team dedicated to helping you prior to opening, during the opening and thereafter whenever help or advice is needed. Also, we offer regular on-site reviews to help you make the most of your franchise.

If you have chosen to open an Espresso Bar or Kiosk, to be located at a transport location then Puccino's Worldwide Limited and their agents have already developed good working relationships with the train operating companies and we can use our covenant strength to secure the locations.

How much is the deposit?

Espresso Bar railway sites £2,500 net, Café and Deli Bars £5,000 net.

The deposit will be held by Puccino's Worldwide and may be applied towards its external costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial investigation of the viability of a proposed site. This could also include costs for meeting architects / designers on site and for producing rough first drawings.

The deposit is refundable should a franchise not progress less any expenses as agreed.

Other initial costs

You will have to pay an entrance fee of £15,000.00 net of VAT and an ongoing royalty fee for the pleasure!

And a Security Deposit or Bank Guarantee will also be required; this is generally calculated at six months rent if Puccino's Worldwide is the Lease holder and 12 months estimated royalty fee.

How long does the franchise agreement last?

The franchise agreement runs for five years with an option to renew for a further 5 years after this period.

What is the breakdown of running costs?

We work on a rough guide of 25% wage costs, 25% food costs and 35% other overheads.

 

Is the food Kosher or Halal?

No. Our British food offering is aimed at the widest possible number of customers; therefore we sell popular foods including beef, pork and dairy products which are not acceptable to certain citizens. You would have to be comfortable with handling such foods if you wish to become a Puccino's Worldwide franchisee.

What are you looking for from me?

Quite simply we are looking for owner operators who have personality, a passion for what they do, are not afraid of hard work, have realistic expectations and will look after and grow the most precious thing we have to give - a right to trade under our brand.
