About Frullati Cafe
Though Frullati Café & Bakery is, for all intents and purposes, a "fast food" restaurant, its fresh and wholesome menu offerings and cozy establishment redefine the term in a good way—which was the founder's goal. Instead of greasy burgers and fries, Frullati Café's menu is full of fresh and healthy options such as smoothies, muffins, croissants, salads, paninis and hand-crafted sandwiches. The Frullati concept quickly gained favor in markets where there is an abundance of health conscious yet busy people.
Frullati began as a single establishment in Dallas, Texas, in 1985. Shortly after the first store's opening, the company began franchising.

Why Choose Frullati Cafe?
Frullati's parent company, Kahala, is one of the fastest growing franchise companies in the world. The brand owns several successful quick-service, high-quality restaurant brands. It attributes its success to its proven business models and dedication to providing franchisees with the tools it needs to succeed.
If you choose to franchise under Kahala, you will be privy not just to proven business models, but also, to the trust, support and independence-based community it has spent over 20 years creating. The community is comprised of ardent franchisees, dedicated support staff, devoted officers and respected vendors. Community members work to support one another throughout all of their endeavors and to make the franchise experience as exciting and lucrative as possible.
Kahala's structure is designed to help franchisees attain success by expending as little as their own resources as possible. It achieves this goal by bundling "back of the house" functions such as real estate, purchasing, finance, business training and IT. This type of system is unique in the franchise world, as several other brands allow franchisees to choose their own vendors. However, Kahala has found it to not only be effective, but also, that it contributes to the overall feeling of being a part of a community.

History
In 1985, the founders of Frullati Café & Bakery opened their establishment with the goal to redefine the meaning of "fast food." They wanted to provide individuals with the quick, in-and-out service characteristic of fast food joints but they weren't too keen on offering the traditional fast food fare. They developed a system in which it was possible to provide patrons with freshly made salads, grilled paninis, hand-crafted sandwiches, fresh baked goods and real fruit smoothies in the same time it took other quick service joints to pull out a frozen patty and zap it. Dallas residents were thrilled.
With limited offerings of healthy quick service restaurants, Frullati was quick to catch on. However, restaurant patrons weren't the only ones to see the potential in this new health-food concept.
In 1999, Sports Group International – now known as Kahala – took interest in Frullati because of its blended fruit smoothies. The company, which also owns Surf City Squeeze, Rollers and Ranch One, acquired Frullati that same year. Though the brand's parent company may have changed at the turn of the millennia, its mission to provide fresh and healthy favorites has not.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a person who meets Frullati's financial requirements. Beyond the finances, though, the perfect franchisee is someone who is passionate about delivering healthy and fresh foods in a fast and convenient manner. He or she should also be willing to follow proven systems and to be a part of a community. The ideal franchisee should not be a "for-one" type entrepreneur, but rather, an "all for one" type person.
