CAFE CHAINS ARE RATED TOP PERFORMING BRANDS

Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue are the latest to list as high-performing brands through the Australian Franchise Rating Scale.

Ratings are allocated after an independent and fact-based assessment across seven key categories designed to measure both transparency and performance.

In achieving this strong (4 star) rating, both brands have been able to demonstrate a high level of transparency and a high level of franchise performance.

Darryn McAuliffe, CEO of FRANdata, which reviewed the franchises, highlighted that Foodco is one of the first large franchise hospitality groups to understand the importance of having external independent assessment of its systems and processes.

“The review team was particularly impressed with the positive financial impact a number of Foodco initiatives were delivering to franchisees,” he said.

“Franchisees of both Foodco brands also enjoyed a superior level of support around business performance and compliance programs.”
