Take the traditional sandwich bar. Add a heaped spoon of fresh food ideas, a dollop of outstanding customer care and a pinch of good old-fashioned family-run values. What do you get? Taste, the individual franchise.

Want to own your own cafe, but are nervous of going it completely alone?

We could have the answer... Jill and Richard have opened up their award winning cafe business to a select group of aspiring cafe owners, through a new Taste Franchise Scheme.

So, how will it be different from usual franchise schemes?

Well, it'll be designed with you, the owner operator in mind. You'll feel like you're running your own independent cafe, but with the back up of Jill and Richard's support, finding the right unit, securing suppliers, hiring staff, marketing your business and ensuring the till rings and the profits add up at the end of the day.

What should I do next?

To get you started - At Taste we're serious about our business, the quality of our food and our customer care.

Since opening in May 2006 we've won lots of awards, including Best New Business in Essex 2008 and the much-coveted title of Best Independent Sandwich Bar in Britain 2009.

The 'About Us' and 'Our News' sections have lots more info, all about how we got started and what makes us tick. If you think you've got the same ethos, and have the determination and stamina to make Taste just as successful in your town then we definitely want to hear from you!

To discuss the opportunities available and to find out how you can be considered for the exciting initial pilot please just drop Richard a line at Richard.willis@tastesfresh.com

We look forward to hearing from you,

Jill and Richard x
