Ready to start your own street food cart?
Serena Warren for BBC Good Food Middle East: Thai street food eatery Cafe Isan in JLT launches micro franchise opportunities for those who’ve suffered pandemic-related job losses.
In light of the ongoing pandemic, Cafe Isan’s fifth birthday, and a desire to help people pursue their dreams, this Thai street food and tea bar has launched a micro franchise scheme. Those who qualify can take charge of a fully kitted out, ready to operate, single-item Thai street food cart, at a location of their choice – to be proposed during the application process.
Applicants require little to no cooking experience, as Chef New will personally train all successful candidates to take on the challenge and role of a street food vendor. The choice of location for the cashless carts is down to the franchisee, but Cafe Isan is calling on property and landowners, mall managers and other forward-thinking venues to step up and offer a space to these new-era entrepreneurs. To apply, send a short application to the Cafe Isan team through their website. After a shortlisting process, applicants will be contacted for interviews.
