RK Franchise Consultancy is in existence for more than a decade having been established originally in Cebu 1995. Then the Company was focused primarily in marketing International Franchise Companies for Master Franchising in the Philippines.
In 1996 RK Franchise Consultancy started to develop home-grown Companies. Thirsty?, a business offering fresh fruit juices and shakes, was the Company first development client. As proof of a lasting relationship based on mutual trust and confidence, Thirsty? has remained in relation with RK and ten years later, the Company which owns Thirsty? rehired us to develop their Mooon Café Franchise.
