About Sofi's Crepes
Delicious and versatile, crepes can be
described as "the ultimate French comfort
food." Perhaps this helps explain why the
joy of crepes has spread across the Atlantic
to America!
Of equal consideration,
today's customers are increasingly
sophisticated and value-conscious, profiles that crepes answer to nicely.
Additional trends shaping the restaurant industry are convenience, cuisines and favors, and healthful options.
Crepes offer a healthy,
reasonably priced, tasty alternative to "fast food," eliminating the need to sacrifice quality and nutrition to satisfy our love of fast and fresh.Sofi's Crepes support the "green" movement, which is growing in
restaurants nationwide.
In addition to global benefits, following "green"
practices can help minimize costs and
improve the bottom line.
The creation of crepes consumes few production
resources; a plus for our environment, a convenience for franchise operators, and a refection of our core beliefs.
Among other wise practices, Sofi's recycles, uses predominantly
fresh ingredients and sources from local vendors, whenever
possible. The "green" concept resonates with customers as well; when diners who enjoy the food and wonderful service, find out a restaurant is also green, a loyal customer is born!
In crafting the Sofi's concept, Ann did her homework, which included traveling to France to visit crepe shops and talk with their owners.
The result is a fluid
business system that serves as a blueprint for operating a Sofi's Crepes cafe.
When you are awarded a Sofi's Crepes franchise, you'll use this system to create a delightful cafe of your own!
