Crepe Delicious is redefining the fast-casual dining landscape in the U.S. by offering a unique blend of French culinary tradition and North American convenience. Founded in 2004 by Oded Yefet, the brand was inspired by the vibrant street creperies of Paris. Recognizing a gap in the North American market for a quick-service café that delivers both indulgence and nutrition, Crepe Delicious was born. The franchise specializes in made-to-order sweet and savory crepes, handcrafted gelato, and a selection of premium beverages, all crafted from the finest ingredients.
With a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Crepe Delicious has expanded its footprint across North America, Asia, the Middle East, and the UK. In the U.S., the brand is gaining traction in high-traffic locations such as malls and shopping centers, appealing to health-conscious consumers seeking a delicious yet wholesome dining option.
Proven Business Model: Crepe Delicious combines the allure of French cuisine with the efficiency of a quick-service restaurant, offering a menu that caters to diverse tastes and dietary preferences.
Health-Conscious Offerings: With crepes containing just 170 calories and 3 grams of fat, alongside low-fat gelato and lactose-free options, the brand appeals to a growing segment of health-conscious diners.

Crepe Delicious seeks passionate, business-minded entrepreneurs who are ready to embrace a fresh, dynamic concept in the QSR space.

Ideal candidates should possess strong management and people skills, as they will be responsible for hiring, training, and motivating their team.
Passion & Dedication: A genuine enthusiasm for high-quality specialty foods, customer satisfaction, and the healthy eating trend is essential. Franchisees should be hands-on, especially during the initial launch phase, to ensure operational excellence.
Financial Capability: Must meet the minimum net worth and liquid capital requirements to secure financing and cover initial operating expenses. The franchisor often seeks candidates with the capacity for multi-unit development.
Location Preference: Ideal candidates should target high-traffic locations, such as enclosed malls, power centers, urban downtown cores, and non-traditional venues (e.g., airports, universities) where the demand for a quick, fresh, and customizable food offering is highest.
