Do I Need Qualifications To Own A Café Business?

As an industry that is forecast to continue to grow in popularity, with some even dubbing bakeries as “recession proof,” owning a Muffin Break® bakery café is a wise move for any entrepreneur.

But what about all of the industry knowledge, skills and qualifications that are required to run a successful bakery café?

You can join the Muffin Break bakery café franchise with any skill level. All that is required is a passion for the industry and a commitment to the Muffin Break brand. From there the skilled Head Office and Operations teams at Muffin Break will teach you everything you need to know, ranging from how to manage your team to creating the perfect muffin!
