You can pick and choose which Cook Stars services you offer, for example:
The Cook Stars Business opportunity allows you to run your own Children's Cookery and Party Franchise so that you can work around your existing commitments or you can take on additional staff to maximise your earnings.
It is up to you to grow and develop your business at a rate that suits your situation and ambitions and we will help you every step of the way.
A typical day may perhaps be running 1 or 2 classes in the afternoon, or it may be a day where you are focusing on running the business side (for example marketing). Franchisees arrange shopping for classes and preparing all the equipment to take along. You may have a party at the weekend and so will need to prepare. There is not really a typical day, all franchisees run differently and the system allows for that.
You can run the classes to fit around your life, however there are recommended times for running
classes so you will need to consider if this works for you.
Some of the classes run after school hours so this needs to be considered if you have children of your own. Of course if your children can come along to class or you have good childcare then this is fine.
Cook Stars would not recommend running the franchise alongside a full time job. Although you can work hours to suit you, running the business well requires commitment and dedication.
You do not need experience or your own premises, you also do not need to be a teacher or cook/chef previously and you do not need to have had experience of running your own business. You will also need to have a full UK driving licence and be a car owner.
