A Step-by-Step Guide to Joining Our Tranquil Café Community
Becoming part of the Amberdo Café family means more than opening a business — it’s about embracing a lifestyle rooted in quality, mindfulness, and connection to nature. With over 7 years of successful operations in Vancouver and five thriving branches, Amberdo is now welcoming passionate entrepreneurs who share our vision to grow with us.
Whether you’re an experienced business owner or a first-time franchisee, our supportive team will be with you through every stage — from initial inquiry to opening your café doors.
Step 1: Submit a Franchise Interest Form
Your journey begins by expressing your interest through our Franchise Interest Form. This tells us you’re ready to explore becoming an Amberdo Café franchisee. Once we receive your form, our team will connect with you to learn more about your goals and answer any initial questions.

Step 2: Receive and Complete the Franchise Application
Next, our Franchise Development Team will provide you with the official application package. This includes forms about your background, financial standing, and business interests. Please complete the application thoroughly so we can evaluate your readiness to join the Amberdo brand.
Step 3: Application Review & Initial Screening
Once submitted, your application will be carefully reviewed by our head office. This stage allows us to assess your compatibility with our brand philosophy, financial preparedness, and your preferred location.
All details you provide remain confidential and there’s no obligation at this point — it’s a discovery process for both sides.
Step 4: Introductory Meeting & Discovery Session
If your application aligns with our criteria, we’ll invite you to a personal discovery session with our leadership team. This meeting gives you the opportunity to ask deeper questions and understand the Amberdo way — our commitment to natural design, ethical sourcing, customer care, and café culture.
You will also receive our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which outlines the key legal and operational details involved in owning a franchise.
Step 5: Conditional Franchise Approval & Initial Deposit
If everything goes well, you’ll receive conditional approval as an Amberdo franchisee. At this stage, we will send you an Offer to Franchise, along with instructions for submitting a refundable deposit of $5,000 CAD.
This deposit officially reserves your place in our development pipeline as we begin site search and business planning.
Step 6: Site Selection, Lease & Financial Planning
We’ll collaborate to find the ideal location for your Amberdo Café — either from our existing list of pre-approved areas or one you suggest. All proposed sites must meet our design aesthetics and demographic standards (proximity to foot traffic, residential zones, etc.).
Our team will also assist you with:
- Lease negotiations
- Preparing business plans
- Approaching banks or financial institutions for franchise financing
- Amberdo Café is committed to setting you up for long-term success.
Step 7: Franchise Agreement, Construction & Training
Once your financing is secured and lease finalized, you’ll sign the Franchise Agreement, officially becoming part of the Amberdo family.
Here’s what happens next:
Your refundable deposit becomes non-refundable.
A detailed construction schedule begins — using natural elements like wood, stone, and greenery to bring the Amberdo vibe to life.
Your onboarding and barista/business training will be scheduled at our Vancouver HQ or designated location.
Our support doesn’t end here. You’ll receive:
- Pre-launch marketing guidance
- Operational manuals and tools
- Ongoing access to our franchise support team
When your doors open, you’ll already feel at home — and so will your customers.
