Parlay Cafe

Parlay Cafe is unlike any other quick service business model, with three diverse revenue streams (Food & Beverage; Membership & Day Passes; Conference Room Rental) inside the same footprint as a traditional cafe. We fill the niche between the local coffee shop and co-working space! We have developed a replicable and well-positioned franchise opportunity, and are seeking to award qualified candidates to become a part of the Parlay Cafe family.

Parlay Cafe Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

Parlay Cafe Fills the Niche Between Coffee Shop & Co-Working! The Covid-19 Pandemic Will Pass, But Working From Home is Here to Stay....

Millions of companies had already been considering gradually phasing out expensive offices in favor of home offices by 2030. Parlay Cafe caters to people who work from home, and the Covid-19 Pandemic has accelerated our opportunity, as it has become clear that many companies with millions of workers have experienced no decline in productivity and now plan to reduce corporate overhead and keep workers in their home offices.

The Parlay Cafe concept is based on the premise that as workers shift from conventional to home offices they will need and desire a place away from the home office to occasionally work, meet with clients, conduct interviews etc. Our franchisees will be providing a much needed haven for these new home based workers.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
