— PROGRAM OVERVIEW—
THE COSÌ® MENU LICENSING PROGRAM
A straightforward partnership designed to add high-margin catering revenue to your existing business without changing your operations.
How It Works?
Gain access to orders on Cosi’s website as well as all available 3rd party platforms, go live, and start building sales and adding to your guest base. Our 3rd party integration is designed to streamline the ordering process through the Cosi system directly to your location, allowing you to focus solely on menu execution.
What You Receive?
You will use Così® branded bags and boxes and the Così® trademark for the licensed products you sell. After initial training, there are no fees for you except on sales of Così® licensed products. We will assist you in choosing the most suitable Così® items for your operations, provide training materials and recipes, and enable use of a listing on Cosi’s website as well as our 3rd party platforms. You continue to offer your standard menu offerings; Così® licensed products are additions to help drive additional top- and bottom-line sales.
Training & Support
Così will assist you in establishing the optimal menu of Così® licensed products for your location based on the size and abilities of your operation. With a vast selection of items, we can help you customize your Così® offerings to be easily executable and attractive to both your existing and new guest base. Così will provide training materials and recipes for the Così® licensed products, and you will have full control over your business operations.
Marketing & Technology
We make marketing and technology simple. You’ll receive access to online training guides, digital advertising spending, assistance setting up third-party platforms, and professionally designed physical marketing materials to help promote your location and grow sales.
