Congratulations Jayne Bowman!

We were thrilled to hear that this beautiful painting of an emu titled “Bright Eyes” won Highly Commended at the Hawkesbury Show this year (2021).

We noticed Jayne’s post on a local community Facebook page when she first entered the competition and were taken by the eyes of this emu. Keep chasing your passion for painting Jayne and we look forward to hearing about your future works. Well done!

It is with great excitement that Emu Coffee announces our partnership with Little Wildling Co. 

The Emu Coffee team originally fell in love with the Little Wildling's range as customers. Our love of Little Wildling Co quickly grew from there. Emu Coffee actively chooses to work with Australian owned businesses that offer both unique and sustainable products. Little Wildling Co’s full range is completely organic. Their tea bags are also bio-degradable, contain no glue, no toxins, no plastic, no baddies.

Emu Coffee will offer Little Wildling Co’s full range to cafes, roasters & premium grocers. We will also offer a reduced range direct to consumers through our website. 

As part of our partnership with Little Wildling Co, we are also proud to offer an exclusive range of ‘straight up’ teas to our wholesale customers both as loose leaf and compostable tea bags. 

We like to do things a bit differently at Emu Coffee and always look to offer our customers new & innovative products that will add value to their businesses. In particular, we felt there was a missed opportunity for cafes to offer their customers consistency of experience with their dine-in and take-away tea customers. Enter our exclusive pack sizes of tea-bags and loose leaf teas from the Little Wildling’s Straight-Up range.

Little Wildling Co was created by Lee Sutherland after many years studying Herbal Medicine. Lee has crafted a tea range that ticks the boxes in both flavour & medicinal purposes. The tea range is organic and beautifully packaged to stand out proudly on the counter tops of your kitchen or favourite cafe. Little Wildling Co teas are a lifestyle extension that speaks to a range of people - from the health conscious to the creative types that sometimes need a tongue in cheek message, to help remind them to slow down with a cup of tea.

For wholesale enquiries, please contact Berenice Walker at info@emucoffee.com.au or to purchase for your own enjoyment, head to www.emucoffee.com.au/products 

If you’ve been running a franchise for a while, and you’ve decided to move on, we bet you’ll feel liberated. Now what’s next? You’ve got the experience from operating someone else’s model, you want to start up your own café business, and you want the choice and freedom to do it your way – but you need some help, particularly with systems and process support. 

You can say goodbye to frozen lamingtons, but what food and beverage menu will you now offer? Can you stay in the same location? What will your cafe look like? What will your new brand be? How can you best invest the royalty money that is now going into your pocket, and not the franchise group’s? 

These questions will be top of mind for people coming out of their franchise arrangements. And Emu Coffee can help. 

First up, we’ll work with you to understand whether partnering with Emu Coffee – in a supply arrangement, as part of our Coffee Constellations group, or both, is a good, mutual fit. Our coffee supply agreements and Coffee Constellations memberships run for 12 months only, and we won’t be hitting you up for royalty or marketing money. 

If the fit is right, we supply you with Australian roasted, quality coffee beans, plus a self-guided operational toolkit to facilitate your transition to business independence. The toolkit includes things like rostering templates and team training videos, and ideas for menus and recipes for your new business. Coffee is our hero, and we’ll help you and your staff with operational training and support, so your customers enjoy the very best coffee experience. 

Collaboration is key with Emu Coffee, and while we’re not your operations manager, we are there with the advice, support and resources your business might need, when you need it.

Buying a cafe business is both an exciting and huge decision, especially if it’s your first business so take your time and do your research before committing yourself.

Look in the mirror - Why is it that you want to own a cafe business? What does it mean to you to be self-employed? Are you realistic about the hard work and long hours involved in operating a cafe? Do you have the necessary skills? If not, what are your skill gaps and how will you fill them?

How will you run the business - Do you see yourself as a hands-on operator or plan to put the business under management? Cafes rarely perform well under management especially with inexperienced owners or ones that run their businesses off a spreadsheet.

If you’re new to the industry, you may want to either consider getting some experience before buying a business or working under an experienced Manager in your own cafe. This can be a good strategy if you wish to eventually expand into multiple locations or be able to have the occasional day off.

If you are looking to fund the purchase of a cafe for a family member to operate, be very clear about your expectations & don’t buy a business to keep your spouse ‘busy'. 

Finding the right cafe - Spend time in the business on different days of the week and at different times of the day. Who are the customers, what are they coming for, what are they buying and how long do they stay? What’s the culture of the team like? Can you relate to the team and the customers? Is there room for you to improve the business & if so, how? 

Please be discrete when visiting the cafe, it can be unsettling for the team to know the business is potentially for sale. It is never appropriate to question the team on the performance of the business or mention a potential sale. 

Check out the competition; how many competitors are there in your trade area? The quality of their offer, menu pricing and proximity to the business you’re looking at. 

What are the traffic generators in the immediate area? In other words, what are the reasons customers would be passing your cafe?

Are there, schools, offices, retail stores and other everyday usage tenancies that draw in potential customers? 

It is also important your business is accessible, a highly visible location that people can’t get to or easily park near, may limit your sales potential.

The Detailed Research - This is where the real research comes in. Once you are satisfied you’ve found the right potential business for your needs, it’s time to ask for a detailed sale pack. 

Expect you may be asked to sign a confidentiality deed before receiving any information. 

Just as you may not have experience in buying a business, the seller may have never sold a business before either so this is where your professional advisors come in. You don’t know what you don’t know. 

Make sure your Advisors have relevant industry experience, the Lawyer that did the conveyancing on your home may not have experience in business sales or in the food industry so always check their credentials.

As a basic guide, you can expect to receive:

• Price guide for the sale of the business

• Profit & Loss statements, prepared by a qualified Accountant (at least 2 years)

• Lease for the premises including any licenses for any outdoor seating or storage areas.

• The latest 2-3 rental invoices. Check these against the P&L and also the lease, this is particularly important as the tenant may have temporary (Covid) rent relief.

• An Asset Register outlining what assets are included or excluded from the sale

• Copies of any contracts related to the business that are currently in place

• Staff Rosters with the team’s personal information removed. 6 weeks is usually a reasonable time period to check staff entitlements & accruals are reflected on the P&L
