"I am delighted to share my journey as a multi-store franchisee with Oodles, and it has been an absolute game-changer. Initially committing to a single franchise store, I quickly recognised the immense potential of the brand, the impressive financial returns, and the exceptional support systems in place. It didn't take long for me to realise that expanding with Oodles was the right decision. The Whitechapel franchise store was my latest store, meeting customers' demands for a concept like Oodles in the area. Encouraged by the success so far, I have already initiated the build-out for my next store in Elephant & Castle. With full trust in the brand and the dedicated team behind it, I wholeheartedly recommend Oodles to anyone seeking an exciting and profitable franchise opportunity for growth". - Mohammed Ayub Khan - Oodles London (multi-store franchisee)

Training & Support

As a franchisee, you will benefit from our extensive training processes which have been broken up into three clear stages:

Head Office Training - offers a two-week program at our corporate branches in Leicester. This intensive training equips you with the expertise to navigate day-to-day operations seamlessly. Moreover, we ensure your staff's proficiency in key operational facets, ensuring they are poised to contribute effectively to your new franchised establishment. We do not charge you for the Head Office training and this comes as part of the franchise fee you pay for securing the franchise rights of Oodles.

Pre-opening Training - acknowledges the importance of a successful grand opening. Despite comprehensive Head Office training, the excitement of the event can be overwhelming, especially with a buzzing Grand Opening event that we help create on the opening day! To address this, we offer the reassurance of two crucial team members - our Head Chef and Front of House Manager - who will be by your side during the launch week. Moreover, up to two Head Office personnel will provide unwavering support on the opening day. This preparatory training, similar to the Head Office training, incurs with no additional cost, reflecting our commitment to the success of your flourishing business.

Ongoing Training - our commitment extends beyond the initial stages. With our On-going training support, you'll benefit from periodic visits by dedicated members of our team, with the potential for up to EIGHT Head Office visits annually. These visits encompass a spectrum of pivotal tasks, including business planning, comprehensive audits, and training on new product offerings.
Like all our support initiatives, these visits are provided without any additional charge, reinforcing our unwavering dedication to your enduring prosperity. At Oodles, your success is our success, and our training and support systems reflect this resolute commitment.
