Ideal Partner
Experience in running a restaurant is beneficial but it is not necessary.
We at Gong cha England are looking for franchisees that fit in with our company ethos. This means that individuals have to be absolutely dedicated to running Gong cha as a business and will always do whatever is required to help it succeed.
Attention to detail and an emphasis on good customer service with excellent food quality are also essential. It is also expected of our franchisees to be fully committed to attending and completing our detailed training programme that will enable an individual to run a Gong cha outlet at a satisfactory level.
