Café OZ & Bar-A Brief background
Leaving India at the young age of nineteen, Dolly Kaur arrived in Sydney with only US$1400 to her name. Within a short time of having landed in Australia, Dolly completed training in the IT industry and later gained a Degree in Business Management, as well as comprehensive training in Hospitality Management.
In 2001, while Dolly was in a supervisory role for a Facility Management company, she won a cleaning contract which proved to be her launch pad. As a result of the strong client relationships Dolly had developed, when one of the cleaning site contracts she managed expired, her client asked her to personally quote on the new management contract. .which she did. And won! From that point on Dolly's business grew rapidly and her brother and sister have since joined her in Sydney to grow the company together.
Within the first two years of the business' inception, the profits leapt from AU$30,000 per month to almost AU$500,OOO. Since the beginning she has since gone on to build a successful business in Australia, operating across several industries - facility management, commercial land development, fish farming and F+B (including the operations of a number of cafes in Sydney and Melbourne.)
With a passion to bring a little of the vibrant energy, healthy lifestyle and fresh food she loves about Australia into India's booming economy, Dolly returned to her Indian roots last year to create the Cafe Oz & Bar concept through Newport Coffee Co India Pvt. Ltd. Now with the launch of GK I outlet on 23rd October, 2010 and an existing outlet in Khan Market - plans are in development for Connaught Place, NOIDA and Gurgaon which will cover the NCR.
Dolly's home town of Chandigarh is the site of her first franchise outlet and additional outlets are due to follow shortly in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The Cafe Oz Express model is due to launch later this year and the business is set to skyrocket. It looks as though Dolly will become the successful business owner here in India as well.

Taste the growth
The rapid increase in the factors like younger population, nuclear households, double income families, increased urbanization, organized food retailing, food stalls and kiosks, consumer food retail spending, etc. have vastly transformed the landscape of this sector enormously. Increased eating-out-frequency of urban Indians, shift from traditional food patterns to newer ones, increased number of credit card holders, increased spending on consumer durables, mobiles, cars, so on ... are positively impacting the future growth prospects in organized food retailing.
The propagation of a large number of regional & multinational food chains in India, eager to capture a pie of this booming sector awash with lucrative opportunities, is a testimony to the enormous growth potential of his sector. With its unique Australian fusion food enthralling extremely taste conscious clients, Cafe Oz & Bar is strongly positioned to capitalize on this perfect growth opportunity, by making a bold foray to tap pan-India clientele through the franchise business model.
