Big welcome to our new franchisees in Port Melbourne – Michael and Samantha Carne.
Michael is full of enthusiasm for Cafe2U and is already planning his second vehicle. Here is an excerpt from an email he sent:

 “..I didn't expect to have been blown away by all the resources that are at our finger tips or at a click of a mouse button! I'm not sure if you guys could possibly make our business ownership experience anymore easier! You guys are phenomenal and we are very appreciative “.

Cafe2U operators around Australia supported Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to help raise funds for the Cancer Council.

Our mobile coffee franchisees raised over $1500 for the Cancer Council by holding their own mini ”Morning Teas”.
Over one million people around the country participated in the Cancer Council’s largest fund raiser for 2008.

Cafe2U have recently joined the International Franchise Association (IFA) and in February 2008 participated in the annual IFA conference in Orlando, USA.

The strength of Cafe2U was reinforced by the discovery that, in the US, any franchise system with more than 100 franchisees is considered significant. "Our mission to the US annual IFA convention displayed to us that not only were we more competitive in the US in terms of size, but that our business model and collateral was considered best in class", states Andy Simpkin, Managing Director.

Cafe2U franchisee, Andrew Maffey (Hawkesbury, NSW) recently supplied espresso coffees and snacks to the cast and crew of Channel 9's new TV show, Domestic Blitz.

Pictured with the host, Shelley Croft, Andrew kept the production moving with his endless supply of flat whites, lattes and espressos from his mobile coffee van.
