Dubai Thai food restaurant launches micro franchise scheme
Images Retail Middle East: Dubai-based Thai street food and tea bar restaurant, Cafe Isan is launching a micro franchise scheme on its fifth birthday.
The scheme will help those who qualify to take charge of a fully kitted out, ready to operate Thai street food cart – at a location of their choice to be proposed during the application process.
Co-founder Chef New explains: “After starting my venture, accidentally in way over a decade ago and with just AED200 I found what I love to do and I’m so grateful I’ve been able to make a living from my passion. “

“So, it’s a great time to give something back. We’ve decided to help people who also have a dream of running their own food business, by offering them the chance to run their own Café Isan cart – with our help and guidance – starting with just AED200 as I did.”
The initial cart is being piloted with Bradley DeVries, a Café Isan regular who lost his job due to the pandemic.
