NuVegan Café likes to equate the nature of a franchisor/franchisee relationship to that of a good, committed partnership. Both parties need to engage in ongoing, transparent communication, commit to teamwork to reach established goals, provide superior support to one another when pursuing objectives, and consistently present a listening ear and willingness to collaborate and compromise, if needed.
