Joining a franchise allows you to have all of the support you need to be a successful business owner. When you join the San Gelato Café franchise, you will have numerous benefits that independent business owners do not have the luxury of experiencing. Let us show you some reasons why becoming a franchisee will give you more of a competitive edge.

Trade Name

Franchise Opportunity: You have the right to use an established trade name, logo and style. This will allow you to easily differentiate your business with a unique brand identity that is already proven to be successful.

Independent Business: You would have to establish your own name, logo and style. This not only takes time and money, but it also requires a lot of effort devoted to generate brand awareness amongst customers.

Known Product or Service

Franchise Opportunity: You have a huge advantage with your products and services being already tried and tested for public acceptance. You will also benefit from the national publicity that San Gelato Café receives in major publications.

Independent Business: You would be responsible for creating your own product line, as well as building public awareness of your services. This would take you an immense amount of research, trial and risk.

Proven Business

Franchise Opportunity: Your franchise business has been tested in different locations and is already proven to be successful. Also, you will have access to proven business models and implementations that have demonstrated to thrive in the market place.

Independent Business: You would have to take a substantial risk in opening your own business. Your business plan would be completely unproven and unknown.

On-Going Help and Support

Franchise Opportunity: You will acquire the ability to have ongoing support from the San Gelato Café staff. San Gelato offers a pro-active approach to your business. You will receive support in Financial Assistance, Real Estate, Training, Advertising, Marketing and continuous Business Development.

Independent Business: You would be responsible for every aspect of your business. The only way to receive on-going help and support would be to outsource different aspects of your business, which can be very expensive.

Sourcing

Franchise Opportunity: As a San Gelato franchisee, you will be fortunate to receive bulk discounts from certain suppliers. We will establish relationships with vendors on your behalf that allow you to receive discounts on various items.

Independent Business: You would have a smaller buying power which does not allow for high discounting. You would be responsible for locating items, searching for vendors, negotiating prices and determining the correct quantity to order for all aspects of your business.
