The Camile franchising model has been well developed in Ireland and is a winning business model. With single-unit and multi-unit franchisees growing the businesses at a steady rate, it’s an amazing time to join Camile Thai. Camile is proud to say that 60% of franchisees


come from within the operation itself. It is both a testament to how Camile operates and their ability to find great talent to work in the business. Multiple franchisees have gone on to become multi-unit owners ramod Thankappan currently owns 10 sites and has two more under construction.

Camile has created an innovative food product that is perfectly tailored to holding its heat and quality during delivery, developed through more than 10 years of research in the food delivery space. The branches run their own driver fleet, while also maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with industry leading aggregators. This two-tiered approach to delivery gives them a significant advantage over their competitors. Sustainability is key to Camile in 2022. n the

neighbourhood home delivery restaurants to cloud kitchens, Camile has an offer to suit every market. Camile franchise owner akesh opalakrishnan


was working as a manager in the Camile Tooting ec location when he saw first-hand the potential of running his own Camile Thai business. “2021 was an extremely busy year,” says akesh. “With the support and guidance of the Camile Thai team, I feel well-equipped to continue my journey as a business owner.” In late 2018, he took the keys to his first restaurant, then investing in two more ondon branches in 2021. He has since racked up high double-digit like-for-like sales, strong gross profits, and assembled a dedicated restaurant team to deliver an amazing guest experience. At Camile, prospective franchisees will find


the opportunity to join a unique and thriving food delivery brand in a booming market, with incredible potential for growth. 
