Big Apple Bagels vs Yummy Cupcakes Franchise Comparison

Big Apple Bagels is on the forefront of the fast casual dining boom. We stand apart from the crowd with growth and consumer appeal because of our commitment to excellence in all aspects of our business. The Big Apple Bagels restaurant concept was developed to delight not only customers, but our franchise owner-operators as well. As a Big Apple Bagels franchisee, you'll be able to produce freshly baked Big Apple Bagels brand bagels, My Favorite Muffin brand gourmet muffins, a wide assortment of delicious sandwiches and salads, and serve our own Brewster's brand of brewed coffee and specialty drinks. The Big Apple Bagels menu offers a broad range of lunch options to round out our menu and keep our customers coming back. Unlike other sandwich concepts, Big Apple Bagels has a proven breakfast program. With the strength of the Big Apple Bagels, My Favorite Muffin and Brewster's coffee brands your restaurant doubles as a bakery-cafe. As another example of its multiple identities, the restaurant is not only a retail destination, but also a wholesale distributorship from which your baked-from-scratch bagels and muffins can be sold in bulk to corporate clients, restaurants, convenience stores and other businesses for resale. If you've been to one of our restaurants, you've seen -- and tasted -- what keeps our customers coming back for more: Big freshly baked bagels, made from scratch ... enhanced with our exclusive varieties of cream cheese, or made into a fresh deli or breakfast sandwich ... served with a cup of one of our gourmet Brewster's coffees.

The "complete cupcake business solution."

Yummy Cupcakes was founded by Executive Chef Tiffini Soforenko with the idea that cupcakes could be enjoyed more often than just special occasions, could be created in gourmet-style, and could be offered in a wide variety of flavors. In March 2004, Tiffini joined forces with husband Nik and mother Brogan, left the corporate world and together created Yummy Cupcakes. Back then, no one had ever heard of a "cupcake only" bakery, let alone ever visited one. Tiffini, Nik and Brogan introduced Yummy Cupcakes to the world based on a simple premise: be passionate about creating exceptional product, be passionate about guest services, and be passionate about doing things right. Now, with several years experience operating Yummy Cupcakes, we have developed a solid and successful business model for both Yummy Cupcakes bakeshop owners and Yummy Cupcakes customers. This, combined with our corporate experience in business operations, guest service, franchise operations and marketing, has led us to seek qualified people to join us in growing Yummy Cupcakes worldwide! If you have the enthusiasm, drive and commitment to growing your own empire, we want to talk with you. We are confident that owning a Yummy Cupcakes franchise is a tremendous opportunity. As a Yummy Cupcakes Owner/Operator, you'll have the benefit of walking into a ready-made system. We have spent the past few years trying, testing, and refining our business so that it's a business model that works. With your own business experience, drive and energy and our working business model, we have a winning combination!
