What's expected of a franchisee

Property requirements

Mikel offers a range of flexible formats including Dine-In, Take-Away, Drive, Shop-in-Shop, Cantina, Smart Shop and automated vending solutions. Locations can range from small-format units below 50 sqm to larger Dine-In stores of approximately 90+ sqm. These sizes are indicative rather than fixed and can be adapted to the individual site and market. We consider high streets, shopping centres, retail destinations, transport or high-footfall locations and other suitable commercial sites. Each proposed property is assessed individually based on visibility, access, footfall, surrounding activity, technical suitability and local market potential.

Training and support

New franchisees receive support throughout the development and opening process. This includes review of the proposed site, design and construction guidance, initial operational and product training, pre-opening and opening support, operating manuals and procedures, marketing and brand guidance, approved equipment and supply specifications, and ongoing operational support after launch. Mikel also supports franchisees with product development, quality standards and relevant systems and technology requirements. The exact support package is adapted to the market and project.

Operational requirements

A Mikel franchise may be owner-operated or run through their dedicated management team, depending on the project. The franchisee is expected to remain actively involved in the business and ensure compliance with Mikel operating, quality and brand standards. Staffing levels and opening hours depend on the store format, size, location and local market. Stores require approved professional coffee equipment and other equipment appropriate to the selected concept. All local licences, permits, employment requirements and regulatory approvals must be obtained by the franchisee in accordance with local law.

Experience required

Previous coffee or food and beverage experience is not mandatory, provided the franchisee has the appropriate business capability, resources and commitment to operate the concept to Mikel standards. We look for committed, hands-on partners who understand their local market and are prepared to actively develop the business. The ideal franchisee has strong business judgement, financial capacity, good communication and management skills, a customer-focused approach and a willingness to follow Mikel standards and systems. For larger territory development, we also look for partners with the organization, resources and infrastructure to support multi-store growth.
