CLUBHOUSE CAFE FRANCHISE
​
Most Sunday and some Saturday mornings (term time only)
2 September 2017 - 30 June 2018
Summary
​
We are a friendly youth football club with c.200 players and their parents.
We are also a charity who relies on the café profit generated each year.
​
The clubhouse is the busy hub of our club with the cafe providing a warm, friendly welcome to players and visiting teams. Its open most Sunday mornings from September to May for matches, plus Saturday mornings for training (September to mid-October, and then mid-April to end June) with occasional closures for bad weather, Xmas and Easter.
​
The cafe has been run by parents and some paid help but we now need a committed franchisee to ensure it is opened reliably.
​
The current menu is simple but popular with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, capsule coffee machine, bacon rolls, toast, cold drinks, snacks and ice creams. All equipment is provided so no outlay is needed other than starting stock.
Catering experience is ideal but not essential – we need reliability, friendliness, honesty, plus great hygiene standards, the ability to make a lush bacon roll and keep smiling when it’s busy.
​
In addition to running the cafe a few other occasional tasks include fielding enquiries, cleaning two toilets, sweeping and tidying the room, handing out ice packs, taking money for the boot shop and tennis membership etc.
​
In return for your reliability and great service you should be able to make catering wages for every hour worked plus a share of the profit. This is our estimate and you’ll have to do your own calculations. You’ll have to be flexible for occasional cancelled games. You’ll need to pay £300 deposit (returned at the end if all conditions are met), have public liability insurance in place (we estimate this to be around £50 - £80) and a clear criminal record.
