No kitchen.
No chefs.
No 5am bake.
Six reasons it’s simpler to run
Most cafe franchises hand you a full kitchen, a long menu and a chef to keep happy. Rex is built the other way round. Coffee is the business, the food is simple, and the person who built it is the person you call.
01 No kitchen, no chefs
No cooked menu, no extraction, no chef to find and keep. Rolls and focaccia takes half an hour each morning, then it’s coffee all day.
02 Coffee is the business
Coffee carries the best margin in any cafe, and Rex is built around it. A fair price turns shoppers into daily regulars.
03 Coffee supply sorted
You start with our buying power on your biggest cost, from day one.
04 Centre hours, no nights
7am to 5pm. No dinner service, no 5am bake. A life outside the shop.
05 A small, cross-trained team
Everyone can run the till, the floor and the machine. Fewer people per shift, simpler rosters.
06 The founder picks up
You deal with the core management team including the founder, not a sales department.

-
No. A Rex fit-out has no commercial kitchen and no extraction. Rolls and focaccia are put together each morning, pastries come in from our bakery partners, and the rest of the day is coffee.
-
No. Training covers coffee, food prep, ordering, rostering and the numbers. What we can’t teach is attitude, so we look for people who like people.
-
Yes. Owners work in the store full time for at least the first [12] months. Rex works because owners are on the floor.
