franchising
Camile are pros in getting good mood thai food delivered to your home.
Since opening our first location in 2010, we’ve expanded to 40+ locations across the UK, Ireland and USA. We are always looking for forward-thinking franchisees to join us, particularly in Southeast England.
Why become a Camile
franchise owner?
Eleven years experience as an award-winning delivery-focused brand. Our focus on health, wellness and sustainability means we're a restaurant you can be proud to be part of.
Explosive growth in the home delivery market, through the COVID-19 crisis and now after.
Our commitment to technology & innovation - from our proprietary app to drone delivery trials - means we’re ahead of the competition.
Multi-unit opportunities. Our largest franchisee has 9 outlet, the next has 5, and the third have 3 each. All are developing additional outlets - as you know, this is a rare opportunity for keen franchisees. Hear what they have to say.
Our success comes down to three key ingredients.
Delicious,
Healthy Menu
We make sauces from scratch and use locally grown grass-fed beef and pork, as well as local vegetables and herbs when in season. These help the environment – and they also taste better! The food we make allows us to reach our wider goals of sustainability, community initiatives, and supporting local businesses.
Home Delivery Specialists
Many restaurants struggled with home delivery recently. Fortunately, we've had ten years of practice in getting delicious hot food to guests’ doors in under 30 minutes. We use the latest technology and operational methods to perfect the process.
Exceptional Branding and Communications
From our presence on relevant socials, our visual identity, an award winning user experience on our proprietary app to our free yoga classes and popular compostable packaging, Camile ticks all the boxes for building a modern life balance brand.
Locations Available
Outside Ireland? Camile are keen to talk to experienced food service operators in markets around the world. Anywhere that there is a young, urban population that lives a healthy lifestyle, makes conscious choices about the brands they buy, and spends a lot of their time online could be a fit for Camile.
