Central Kitchen

The business model gained tremendous efficiency when food production was centralized for all formats. A single facility is capable of operating round the clock to serve all the cafés. This gives us an edge over competitors who typically operate a kitchen with catering or a kitchen within each café. This efficiency not only gives us compelling margins, it frees our café staff to focus on creating an engaging customer experience.
This is the backbone to our hyper-efficient business model and it allows us to bring gourmet sandwiches and meals to a wide variety of audiences from our downtown cafés to the 20+ private jets we cater to everyday at Dorval.
What differentiates java u from other café / eateries is that it is the first to truly offer a quality gourmet food experience within a fast, convenient and stylistic environment at an affordable price. This is made possible by a central kitchen concept that prepares consistent and high quality fare in quantities sufficient for all of its outlets. The central kitchen is a stand-alone food preparation operation that prepares the majority of the fare sold in the multiple java u locations. This new combination of front-end (cafés) with a food service driven back-end (central kitchen) is an innovative approach to a gourmet concept. It has allowed us to bring people into our world that have little or no food experience. We accomplish this by allowing you to focus on sales. We handle the hard part, the distribution and preparation of the food and coffee that is your ammunition to grow your business.
Java u’s central model allows us to really bring the word “turnkey” not only to the day you open but everyday is a turnkey event for a Java U franchisee.
