Franchising
Join the global SPEDALIS movement.
We built one café worth copying — a cross-cultural, all-day menu backed by ordering, loyalty and kitchen technology we own outright. Now we're opening the brand to operators who want to build it with us, from the UK outward to the rest of the world.
Why SPEDALIS
- A genuine cross-cultural menu, not a gimmick. English, Bengali and Filipino breakfasts sit on one all-day menu alongside pâtisserie, bakes and a full drinks bar.
- A proprietary ordering and loyalty platform. Table ordering, a self-service kiosk, SPEDALIS CLUB points, Square POS integration and live delivery routing are already running in production — you switch it on, you don't build it.
- Built-in operations tooling. Staff rota, kitchen prep-time estimation and daily financial reporting come with the brand, cutting the back-office work most new franchisees take on alone.
- One clean company behind it all. EIFO GROUP LTD (company no. 16558140) holds the brand and will hold every franchise agreement as the network grows.

What you get
- Training covering the menu (including allergen labelling), kitchen workflow, the ordering/kiosk/loyalty tech, and day-to-day management, before and during launch.
- Site selection and fit-out support — catchment analysis, lease guidance, and a standard fit-out specification so every site reads as SPEDALIS.
- The tech platform, ready to switch on — table ordering, kiosk, SPEDALIS CLUB loyalty, Square POS, delivery integrations and financial reporting, configured for your site.
- Supplier relationships — access to the same UK-based suppliers already used in Crewe, including the paperwork needed to meet UK food-labelling rules.
- An operations manual covering recipes, allergen handling, rota planning and compliance.
- Ongoing field support — scheduled visits and a head-office point of contact for operational, marketing and compliance questions.
Is this you?
- You have prior hospitality, retail or food-service management experience — owning or managing, not just working in, a site.
- You can confirm the minimum liquid capital above with bank or accountant statements.
- You're willing to run the site personally, or employ an on-site general manager to the same standard.
- You'll commit to the recipes, allergen procedures and brand standards in our operations manual.
- For area developer and master enquiries: you have a track record of multi-site operation or market-entry experience in your target territory.
Our roadmap
