Franchise
Bring Berriko’s to your neighbourhood.
We're opening applications for Berriko's franchisees across Australia. A dessert-forward, all-day diner concept with a proven model, a loyal repeat audience, and the support to open a world-class venue.
Why Berriko’s
A café concept built to earn all day and all night.
A proven, multi-site concept
We run three diners across Melbourne today — Dandenong, Ormond, and a Docklands pickup kiosk. A concept tested across a 24/7 flagship, a late-night sit-down dining room, and a high-foot-traffic transit location.
A dessert-forward hook
Most cafés compete on breakfast and burgers. Our loaded waffles, crêpes, churro bites and brownies pull a dessert crowd that chain cafés simply don't get — higher ticket size, higher post-8pm revenue.
All-day revenue windows
Breakfast coffee, lunch burgers, afternoon treats, dinner and a late-night dessert service. You're not dark at 4pm like a typical café — the fitout earns across 14-plus trading hours a day.
Built for flexibility
Full diner (Dandenong / Ormond model) or compact pickup kiosk (Docklands model) — the concept scales down for a transit or food-court footprint without breaking the menu.
The support you need
Site selection guidance, fitout specification, supplier network, opening team, training in one of our own diners, and ongoing operations support. You're running a café, not rebuilding one from scratch.
One standard across every site
Central recipes, central menu cadence, central brand. Your customers get the same waffle, the same flat white, the same welcome whether they're in Dandenong or in your new diner.

Who we’re looking for
Operators, not investors.
We’re opening Berriko’s with people who want to run the venue themselves — on the floor, behind the pass, or both. Hands-off investors should look elsewhere; our concept only works when someone who cares is in the building.
Hospitality experience is a big plus but not mandatory. What matters more is obsessive attention to detail, a history of running something well (any industry), and the capital to open a proper venue without cutting corners on equipment or people.
Multi-site operators welcome — we already have conversations going for second and third sites with existing franchisees in other systems.
