Serve-your-own frozen yoghurt, a wall of toppings, and rooms people actually want to sit in — a high-traffic, cash-generative hospitality business with a cult brand doing the hardest part for you.
Serve-your-own froyo isn't a transaction, it's a small event — you build your own cup, weigh it, and stay a while. That ritual turns a first visit into a weekly habit, and a habit into a business you can rely on.

One store, high foot traffic, low average ticket — a cash-generative model built on volume and a topping bar that quietly lifts every cup. Weighted toward walk-in froyo, with drinks and seasonal ranges filling the shoulders of the day.
No chefs, no complex kitchen — a small trained crew, a proven layout, and a supply chain that lands consistent product at every store.
Drag the weekly-customers dial and choose how you'll run it. Everything updates live against a single store's cost model. Pull it back toward a quiet week to see the early days honestly.
Illustrative only — fictional figures, not Yo-Chi's actual results. Based on a sample cost model: $520K total investment, 6.5% royalty, 2.5% marketing levy, ~$11.50 average spend. Real results vary by site, rent, seasonality and how you operate. Not a franchise offer or earnings claim.
No mystery line items. Here's what building a Yo-Chi store looks like, and what you pay the network once the doors are open.
Most franchisees fund a large share through equipment and fit-out finance. We introduce lenders who understand hospitality fit-outs and support your application — but take your own financial and legal advice first.
From a single Melbourne studio to a network across every mainland state — each store on a protected, high-foot-traffic catchment. Drag the timeline, or press play, to watch the rollout.
A guided seven-step process. Most franchisees are serving their first cups within seven to nine months of signing.
Foot-traffic modelling and lease negotiation from a team that has opened 74 stores.
We manage the fit-out to spec, so every store opens looking unmistakably Yo-Chi.
Full operator training. You'll never need a food background to run a great store.
Consistent froyo mix, toppings and packaging landed reliably, store after store.
A cult national brand, local launch playbooks and a loyalty program that brings them back.
An area manager who knows your store, your numbers and your team by name.
Start with a discovery call. No obligation — just an honest conversation about whether a Yo-Chi store fits your goals, your capital and your city.
