Working nine to five Monday to Friday does not work for everyone, and can be known to stop people from enjoying their everyday lifestyle. Cafe2U, the world’s biggest mobile coffee franchise, allows its franchisee owners the freedom to choose their own destiny and work the hours that suit them best.

Andy Lynch, who is the owner of Cafe2U franchise in the Kenwick and Maddington territories in WA, can’t stress enough how satisfying his life has become since purchasing into the franchise.

Working as a chef for more than 20 years, Andy migrated to Perth from England in 1997, but not before cooking for a host of British celebrities.

“When working in London, I cooked for a number of TV personalities with Sylvester McCoy, who played Doctor Who, and Todd Carty of East Enders and The Bill probably being the most famous,” he said.

“Living the life of a chef had always been a dream of mine when I was young; however the hectic lifestyle started to take a toll on my marriage and my social life. The 12 hour days always left me feeling exhausted and never gave me the time to do the things I love most, such as spending quality time with my wife, enjoying a refreshing drink by the pool and cycling around at the weekend.”

“Since purchasing into the Cafe2U franchise, I have been able to set up a working schedule which works around my social schedule, while still managing to maintain a fulfilling income. I now only work from 6.30am to 1.30pm, Monday to Friday, leaving me to spend the afternoon however I please.”

Another Cafe2U success story is also a family man. Mark Andrews is based in the Campbellfield, Victoria region. After 11 years of working behind a desk at a computer software company, he decided that it was time for a career change.

Mark chose the Cafe2U system for its flexibility and recently celebrated his one year anniversary in business. There’s no doubt that he loves his new life.

“Since purchasing the franchise, I have had so much more time to spend with my wife and two teenage daughters. Everyone is really happy to give a helping hand so it feels somewhat like a family business.

“By feeling all the more satisfied within my day job, I have had the energy to plan fun-fuelled days out with my family in my spare time. Whether it is 4WD or camping I ensure we all have something to look forward to over the weekend.”
