Franchise Summary

Description
The franchise is for a restaurant offering quick-serve Belgian sugar waffles and beverages such as coffee, tea and hot cocoa operating under the name “Waffle Cabin” using the franchisor’s proprietary recipes, formulae, techniques, trade dress, trademarks and logos.
Company Background
Waffle Cabin is the first international franchise to offer quick-serve Belgian sugar waffles. The company offers fresh, hot waffles that are made from scratch and topped with a variety of toppings such as whipped cream, fruit or cinnamon sugar. Customers can also enjoy coffee, tea and cocoa options alongside their waffles. Waffle Cabin's mission is to provide customers with a unique experience by providing them with delicious food and drinks in an affordable environment where they feel at home.
Franchise Opportunity
Americans are increasingly looking for healthier breakfast options, but they don't have time to cook. Most people either skip breakfast or eat unhealthy foods like sugary cereals or processed pastries. This sets them up for a day of cravings and poor food choices. Waffle Cabin is the solution. Our quick-serve Belgian sugar waffles are made with whole grain flour, natural sweeteners, and real fruit toppings. We also offer coffee, tea, and hot cocoa to help you start your day off right.
