About Us

For over 30 years, The Cheesecake Shop has been making, creating, baking and delivering cakes for all of life’s special occasions and the everyday indulgences.

What started as just one store in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Rozelle in 1991 has now grown to be an international success with over 230 cake bakeries and over 2000 employees across Australia and New Zealand. The brand has become synonymous with immaculately presented, hand-crafted delicious cakes and desserts, loved by generations of Australians and New Zealanders.

The Cheesecake Shop are proud to be two-time winners of the Australian Established Franchisor of the Year award, which is awarded by the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA), the peak body representing Australia’s $140 billion dollar franchise sector. The brand has also been recognised as an outstanding performer through the Australian Franchise Rating Scale™ by FRANdata in 2020, achieving a rating of 5 stars – the highest rating possible. 

Over time, our company has undergone significant growth and transformation, emerging as a sophisticated and prosperous enterprise in today's competitive landscape. In addition to the franchising arm of the business, we have established an ingredients supply operation, called United Network Suppliers, to support the retail bakeries. The headquarters of the business is now located in a complex in Western Sydney and new franchise partners are trained in the on-site bakery and retail store front.

Scott Bush was appointed CEO of The Cheesecake Shop in Australia in 2022, eager to reignite passion for the nostalgic brand as he and his team pursue ambitious expansion plans for the business across Australia and New Zealand.

In November 2023, under Scott's leadership, the beloved brand launched their fresh new look, after customer feedback indicated the brand needed to evolve. This exciting new chapter for The Cheesecake Shop embraces our rich history and reflects the changing needs and desires of our customers. All new stores to open will adopt the modern look, while existing stores will gradually be updated as part of refurbishment plans.

At The Cheesecake Shop, our franchise partners are our number one ingredient who drive us to help communities create sweet memories right throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Today the brand is synonymous with immaculately presented, hand-crafted delicious cakes, loved by generations of Australians and New Zealanders.
