Frequentquestions

What is the royalty fee?

The ongoing royalty is 5% of net revenue, plus 2% for the national marketing fund. No hidden costs.

Do I need hospitality experience?

Not required. We look for entrepreneurial spirit and a love of working with people — everything else you learn in our academy.

How much equity do I need?

We recommend at least 40% of the total investment as equity. Partner banks help with the remainder.

How long is the contract?

The base contract runs 5 years with an option to extend for 5 more under the same terms.

Together. You know your city, we bring criteria and traffic analysis — the final site is approved jointly.
