Our Products

Our soup, stew, chili and chowder products range from traditional to unique representing a full selection to suit any need on any given day. Whether our customer is seeking a low fat, low carb, vegetarian or low cal choice, odds are that we can provide exactly what they are looking for from the eight daily selection at each stores’ Soup Table. These choices can be complemented with fresh unique sandwiches or salads to round out the meal. All soups are cooked by Soup Etc! and shipped fresh with no added preservatives.

Our approach is to ensure that our Franchisees have the time to concentrate on the two most important factors in successful retailing, staff training/ management and consistent astonishing customer service.

• Soup Etc! does not venture beyond its expertise in terms of new product introductions. All new food products developed always fit within our existing operating procedures and are prepared with existing store level equipment. We pride ourselves on our ability to “reinvent” the wheel consistently in creative, wonderful and gourmet level ways.
• We provide a solid training program and on-going support to ensure our franchisees are always on the right track. We take out the guesswork.
• All products intended for sale at retail level have been conceived to require very little in terms of specific skills or undue impact on the store’s labour costs. In other words, our manufacturing facilities provide all individual components for any dish, pre-measured and designed for simple assembly or warming at store level. We believe our Franchisees time is better spent getting to know their customer and excelling at all facets of customer service.
• We sell Soup Etc! stores as turnkey packages, so franchisee involvement is minimal in the building phase. We prefer to have you setting your sales and marketing goals during this time.
• We enjoy and solicit input from our franchisees. We believe the only way to continually excel is to consult those who set the mark for us in public. In other words, our best retail experts are really our own retailers.
