Smart Raspberry
Smart Raspberry offers an exciting opportunity to build a business delivering fun, educational and hands-on children's cooking classes, cookery workshops, holiday activities and parties. Designed for children who love creating, cooking and learning, the Smart Raspberry franchise provides a flexible business model with multiple opportunities to generate income throughout the year.
You don't need to be a professional chef or experienced teacher to become a Smart Raspberry franchisee. With training, support and an established programme of activities, you can build a children's cooking business that combines entrepreneurship with the opportunity to make a positive difference to children's learning and development.
One of the key attractions of the opportunity is the ability to start part-time and grow the business at your own pace. The business can be operated from home, with classes and activities taking place in schools, community venues and other suitable locations.
As demand grows, franchisees can employ additional staff and expand the number of classes and activities they offer. This means the business can potentially develop from a part-time operation into a larger, established children's activity business.
The franchise offers the opportunity to start small and build gradually, with the potential to increase turnover by adding more classes and activities.
For example, annual income of £23,760 from five after-school classes per week, increasing to £47,520 from 10 classes per week
Additional income from offering extra classes can include a further £10,800 from 10 holiday workshops, £21,600 from 20 workshops, and £8,800 from 40 children's parties in a year.
