| Experience | We truly believe in balancing business and life so that each is more Soul satisfying… Deeply nourishing . We’re passionate about serving beautiful, nourishing food (over 50% of which is Certified Organic), in warm, inviting restaurants that are built largely of recycled and environmentally friendly materials. Yet, our unit economics compare well with larger, better-established brands. We’re serious about business, but we’re also serious about doing it differently. If that sounds good, having your own Café Yumm! restaurant might be right for you. | · Minimum liquid assets: $200,000 · Minimum net worth: $350,000 |
