August 9, 2008 - The Latte Cartelle is pleased to announce the franchising launch of their ‘drive-thru’ coffee company.

Latte Cartelle is a specialty coffee company with a difference. It is the successful combination of sensational coffee and a fast professional service delivered to you in the comfort of your car. This winning formula has become the platform for their franchising program.

Latte Cartelle Franchising is an Australian company, proudly owned and operated by Linda Tsiokas and Allison Pickett. The two businesswomen came together early in 2004 when a niche in the market for drive-thru specialty espresso coffee was recognised. They combined their knowledge and experience to design and build their unique business concept. With the strength of the business model and success of their company owned stores they believe the business will continue to prosper under a franchise system.

They have used European and international influences to develop the brand and menu. Their premium blend of coffee beans are roasted locally by Italian experts to provide the freshest coffee experience to their customer. Their staff are fully trained baristas and look forward to being a part of your day.

Latte Cartelle have engaged The Franchise Shop to assist with franchise system development.

The Franchise Shop’s Mr Grant Garraway said “Both Linda and Allison have had great success building and running this drive-thru coffee business at multiple sites under an all company run model. It is a very exciting concept and already generating a lot of interest”.

The investment to purchase a Latte Cartelle Franchise is between $70,000 to $150,000 depending on the site requirements. This covers the franchise fee, legal’s, recruitment, training and induction along with all the equipment required to begin operating. This is substantially lower than any other retail coffee business in the market today.

“Support for our franchise owners is critical” said Linda Tsiokas, “We will work very closely with and assist our franchise partners in all areas of their businesses, especially in the areas of promotion and marketing. We want our franchise owners to be committed to very high levels of customer service and to LOVE their coffee.”
