Can I franchise just one brand, or choose two or three?
Yes. Enquire about any one of the shared brands, choose two or three, or build a larger selection. Each brand has its own promotional page and can be added to your enquiry. Your proposed combination is assessed for kitchen suitability, location, training and supply before it is agreed.
How is a brand selection different from full MealDeck?
Full MealDeck is the complete multi-brand concept with its agreed launch package and territory terms. An individual or multi-brand proposal covers the brands and services listed in that proposal. Selecting every brand does not automatically grant the full MealDeck identity, lease arrangements or territory rights.
Can I use equipment I already own?
Suitable existing equipment can be considered for an individual-brand or custom package. We assess condition, capacity, food safety and the requirements of your selected menus. The quote identifies any additional equipment, setup and training needed. Franchise rights and ongoing services are quoted separately from the equipment you already provide.
Can I apply if I am new to running a food business?
Yes. Choose the new food business option in the enquiry and share your proposed location, budget and any relevant experience. We discuss premises, equipment, practical training, staffing and your launch plan. You will need to assess the full setup costs and working capital and take responsibility for operating the business.
What does an individual-brand franchise cost?
Individual brands and custom combinations are price on application. Your written proposal sets out the brand rights, setup and training, equipment requirements, opening costs and ongoing charges. Existing equipment and premises are reflected in the quote. A new landlord deposit is included only where MealDeck supplies premises and one is required. There is no automatic price per added brand.
What happens to the premises deposit if the kitchen closes?
Where your quote includes a deposit for premises supplied by MealDeck, the deposit remains in place while the premises arrangement continues. If the kitchen closes because of a kitchen or MealDeck issue, you receive 50% of any premises deposit actually returned to MealDeck by the landlord. If you choose to leave voluntarily, no premises-deposit refund is payable to you. This concerns the recovered landlord deposit, not a refund of the franchise or total launch fee. Your written premises terms confirm these conditions.
Does selecting a brand reserve a territory or guarantee launch?
No. This is an enquiry. Applicant, location, brand combination and kitchen readiness need approval, and existing territory commitments apply. Any brand rights, location restrictions and support are confirmed in the agreement. No orders, sales or profit level is guaranteed.
