About the Opportunity
The critical points of difference with the Xpresso Mobile Cafe franchise system are:
- OUR COFFEE! Our in-house roaster has 20+ years of roasting expoerience to ensure our licensees have access to products that are of consistent premium quality directly & ethically sourced from the farms!
- HUGE TERRITORIES Your Xpresso Mobile Café territory will have multiple 'focus areas' of business parks, lite industrial & commercial precincts. One van simply won't be enough! - we want to give you the opportunity to capitalize on the territory and enjoy through launching your 2nd van in the future.
- BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOURSELF! Our cups and lids are 100% compostable and our coffee beans are ethically sourced directly from farmers who are paid properly! Also, Xpresso Mobile Cafe funds the running of a not-for-profit mobile cafe that directly supports victims of domestic violence, our youth and refugees. Pretty cool huh!
- WE ARE A PRIVATE COMPANY run by family values - rather than a large publicly listed company ultimately driven by public shareholder values. Our key competitors are owned by a large multinational ASX listed company with multiple lines of management that your franchise fee would be paying for rather than helping you grow your business!
- FLEXIBILITY WITH FOOD OPTIONS. We are big believers of supporting local community and family owned businesses so for your food options, we will help you connect with local bakeries and other suppliers to assist with supply of croissants, muffins, banana breads as well as other wraps, rolls and sandwich products. Our food options are non-heated and individually wrapped. Cutting out the middle man means freshness and more profit for you!
- NO NASTY/NOISY GENERATORS! We power our mobile cafés using inverter/battery and gas. No more smelly, noisy and expensive generators to maintain.
- PLENTY OF EVENTS! Unlike our competitors, we don't charge you for the events we give you - they are a bonus service we offer and include them in your weekly fixed administration fee (license fee) In fact, we receive on average 20 events a day!!
Marketing support
- Google (Page 1!!), Facebook & Youtube. That's just the start.
- We have a dedicated 24/7 call centre managing events off our 1300 number & website.
- A website listing on Xpresso.com.au putting your business location up in lights!
- For a small fee, we can supply new starters with branded A-frames, umbrellas & breeze barriers.
Training provided
Your 3-weeks of training commences with barista training, equipment familiarization & recipe sharing. We then hit the road for 2-weeks to collaboratively set up your daily Monday to Friday 'coffee run'. All startup stock is included along with unlimited coffee beans for your 1st month!

History
Darren Schultz, founder of Xpresso, was the first person in Australia to put a coffee machine in the back of a van in the mid 1990's. As a pioneer of the industry we know what works and what doesn't!
Relaunched in 2013, Xpresso Mobile Café set out to become the best (not the biggest) mobile cafe group in Australia. We continue to set the standard for value, support, van fitout and quality of coffee for our licensees. But don't ask us... ask them!
