Han’s Cafe chain collapses, unpaid tax, staff underpayments + claims of domestic violence.

THE resounding success story of Han’s Cafe has ended in heartache with the management company going into liquidation amid unpaid tax, staff underpayments and claims of domestic violence.

Ian and Tram Hoang Han, who met in a Thai refugee camp, built Perth’s most successful chain of Asian restaurants — which at one stage had 20 cafes. Their success helped them buy a $4.7 million luxury mansion in Applecross.

A dozen franchised Han’s Cafes still operate but the three owned by the founding couple, as well as their management company, have collapsed.

Their fourth cafe was sold when the Fair Work Ombudsman started legal action last July
