Xpresso Delight Brisbane - Vivienne and Stephen Beech

We had been looking for some time for a business that was interesting, financially rewarding, and flexible and where we could work smarter, not harder and our solution was Xpresso Delight Franchise Systems. The systems are easy to use and understand plus the coffee is delicious. We have found the support fantastic, both Paul and Stephen are always on hand to help. As Master Agents for Queensland, we are looking forward to developing long term business relationships with customers and franchisees.

Xpresso Delight Spring Hill - Karin Thompson

Working in the Medical Profession for over twenty years, I was well over doing shift work, on call and someone else dictating when & where I should work. ‘Ground Hog’ days had set in!! It was time for a career change! I started researching small business opportunities that would give me flexibility in working hours, give me more time to spend with my family and allow me train for my beloved sport of Triathlon. I could not find anything that fitted this criteria. I searched for well over two years and hey presto…came across Xpresso Delight! What a great business model. It had everything that I was looking for in a Franchise. It was semi-passive, my kind of working hours, strong customer service ethics and an unreal product and brand! Most importantly, the quality of the coffee and machines were outstanding. The 100% backup provided from Queensland Master Agents - Vivienne & Stephen Beech leaves me speechless! From day one of starting my business they have both been there for me, assisting with all facets of running my Xpresso Delight Franchise. Extensive training and manuals are provided which includes marketing, customer service, machine servicing and trouble shooting, all have been invaluable in making my Franchise a success. The ease of using the Xpresso Delight Online ordering system is great. Just log in, order what you need, whether it be Coffee Beans/PODS, Cups or Coffee System parts, confirm and you’re done! Everything is shipped to your door. How easy! Our uniforms are very smart, professional looking and most of all comfortable. The ‘Xpresso Delight’ logo is very eye- catching to passers-by which is great advertising! I have now been operating my Xpresso Delight Franchise for nearly 18 months and have enjoyed every aspect of it and look forward to building it even further. If you are looking for a Career change or Work/Family Balanced Lifestyle, I encourage you to check out ‘Xpresso Delight’. I’m sure you are going to like what you see.

Xpresso Delight Newstead - Jacinta and Matt Burke

When you’ve worked as a plumber for 20 years, you think that there’s not many other jobs you could or would want to do. When my wife and I came across Xpresso Delight I knew I had a choice about whether to spend the next 20 years working in the hot sun, doing dirty, hard work or make a change for the better. We purchased an Xpresso Delight franchise in late 2008 and have never looked back. The training was fantastic. I’d never even made a coffee before buying this franchise and now I know the difference between a latte and a café mocha! For someone who hasn’t ever had to sell anything or do any marketing, I was able to pick up the six week marketing plan and follow the step by step and day by day program to begin placing my machines immediately. The simple but effective marketing strategies outlined in the program made it easy for me to make the transition from plumber to small business entrepreneur and begin to replace my plumbing income. When I did need support or advice, Vivienne and Steve were right there to help me overcome any obstacles. I even purchased three more machines only two months after buying the franchise to grow my business and I’m well on my way to buying more soon. In a matter of six months, I’ve replaced my plumbing income and then some. I now come home clean, happy and have more time to spend with my family.

Xpresso Delight Caloundra - Brett and Julie Peel

With 20 years working in the demanding hospitality industry, at one point we decided “there has to be a better way, we need to work smarter and not harder” and went on the search for a lifestyle change. We finally found this with Xpresso Delight. Our Xpresso Delight Franchise is like a breath of fresh air- no more 60+ hour weeks, no more working every weekend or public holidays. We now have the ability to attend weekend festivities with friends and family as well as take the time out to get fit and healthy while playing sport and getting involved in the community. We enjoy the “semi passive” style operation, work for ourselves and enjoy the customer interaction of our clients. Starting with 3 SME machines and 4 corporate machines we have grown our business to 15 SME and 7 corporate machines in just over a year with continued growth planned. Of course we haven’t done all this alone, we have received fantastic support from our State Master Agents Vivienne & Stephen Beech who are always available for assistance from marketing to maintenance. The system that Paul Crabtree & Stephen Spitz have put in place makes it easily adaptable especially for new business owners, striving to grow their own franchise to the level and scope that they are comfortable with. We would highly recommend an Xpresso Delight Franchise to anyone who is serious about taking charge of their life, passionate about offering a quality product and service,….and of course enjoy a great coffee! Proud owners of Xpresso Delight Caloundra. Brett & Julie Peel

Xpresso Delight Upper Kedron – Margery Morrow

Great People, Great System, Great Coffee, Great Lifestyle. While “working” I get to have coffee and chat with some of the most awesome people from all walks of life, my clients are fantastic people, the coffee machines are brilliant, easy to work and make the best cups of coffee, and the Xpresso Delight system that holds it all together is so simple yet it does every thing from online ordering, reporting , marketing and even tells you your profits for the week. We have been in business for the past 20 years involved with 4 different franchise’s from service stations to the motor industry. Xpresso Delight is by far the most professional, least demanding and most profitable (income/time). We had worked 15 hour days, 7 days a week, now we work 15 hours a week! With 4 children at home this gives us the time to spend with our family and also volunteer in our community.. The franchise saying “you are in business for yourselves but not by yourselves” is certainly true with Xpresso Delight the back up we receive amazes us, Viv and Steve our Qld master agents lead by example, they have supported and encouraged and given their time and expertise continually and is very obvious that they want to see us succeed. Success is easy when what you do is fun, easy and profitable but most of all gives you your time back so you can enjoy your life, you only get one so why not enjoy it, with Xpresso Delight that is what you get a life.

Xpresso Delight Hemmant - Kevin and Janet Gough

Kevin and I have been working towards finding a work/life balance all our working life. I worked in hospitality for 18 years doing 60+ hours per week, including shift work and knew that this wasn’t sustainable, especially with two children. Kevin studied for 4 years to be in the IT industry instead of a butcher as we thought that would give us greater financial stability and in turn make life easier. We continued looking for suitable businesses/ careers and so have tried a few businesses on our own including a Flower Farm and also direct selling. All these things just continued to confirm to us that “THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY”. So when I came across the Xpresso Delight opportunity, I was dubious but interested. Kevin was very sceptical as he felt that it almost looked too good to be true. When we met Vivienne and Steve (the master agents) all ours fears were quashed. Our training has been so thorough and valuable and the communication from Vivienne and Steve is incredible. Finally we have found something that will give us both the work/life balance we have been craving. We now have the opportunity to spend more time with our girls and be involved with their activities and even time for ourselves. Kevin looks forward to being home every night instead late night call outs and long unreasonable hours. I look forward to balancing our business around our family time and building this amazing franchise knowing we have the backup and support of Xpresso Delight.

Xpresso Delight Brendale - Megan and Greg Egan

Hi, we are Megan and Greg Egan. We recently made the decision to become Xpresso Delight franchisees and are very excited about being part of this great franchise system. With a young family and increasingly busy lifestyle, we have been looking for a way to supplement our income without drastically increasing our working hours. Xpresso Delight was very appealing because of the flexibility it offers to its franchisees. We are passionate about good coffee and are impressed by the quality coffee produced by the Xpresso Delight coffee machines. With a commitment to excellence in customer service and a great quality product, Xpresso Delight has offered us an exciting opportunity to be part of a franchise team which is rapidly growing throughout Australia.

Xpresso Delight North Lakes - Ashwin Reddy

Having worked in an office environment for most of my working career, the daily long drives to work, getting home late, frustrating long traffic delays were definitely not items that I wanted to constantly tick off on my checklist for the rest of my life. Additionally, having our child starting her first year at school meant a change of routine. I then started looking for a franchise which would allow me to earn a passive income, give me the flexibility to work from home and still allow to spend quality time with my daughter. The Xpresso Delight franchise catered to all of the above and hence my decision to become a franchisee. I received an intensive 2 days training with our master agents Steve and Vivienne Beech. The training covered all the different aspects of the business and provided me with the skills & knowledge required to run my business. Since the training, Steve & Viv have both provided me with great support, encouragement and guidance. They continue to provide ongoing support & valuable feedback and are happy to assist with any troubleshooting issues & even travel to a client site to assist with installation. My clients have also been extremely impressed by the coffee machines with easy to follow (laminated) instructions and happy to finally to be able to have access to great tasting coffee within seconds.
