A very brief description of our ideal franchisee would be a “people-person” with strong management skills, who enjoys customer service. We are looking for franchisees who are self-starters, highly motivated, organized, detail oriented, energetic, and good at team-building. Food service experience is not as essential as having the drive to be successful. Average Number of Employees: 8 – 12 Passive Ownership Allowed: Yes, if certain qualifications are met Single Unit, Area Developer, and Master Franchise opportunities available in the United States Seeking Master Franchise candidates in Canada, & Puerto Rico Single Unit Franchisee Area Developer (3 - 9 stores) Regional Developer (Master Franchisee, 10 or more stores)   This license grants the franchisee the right to open three or more franchise units in a specified territory. There is a production schedule in which the franchisee will open a predetermined number of franchises during a certain period. The Area Developer franchisee has a protected, exclusive territory in which no other franchisees will be allowed to open a franchise. The Area Developer pays a progressively lower franchise fee for all units after the first one. Franchise Fee: $25,000 for 1st unit, $17,500 for 2nd unit, $12,500 for 3rd unit ($40,000 due at signing; remainder paid according to the territory build-out schedule) Minimum Cash Liquidity: $65,000 to $75,000 Estimated Total Cost: $200,000 to $350,000 for each location Royalties: 5% of Net Sales  from each location National Advertising: 1% of Net Sales  from each location   Level of participation: The franchisee will be very involved in the beginning stages of the first location to make sure it is successful. The franchisee will also need to be looking for qualified real estate to open the next few locations. Once additional locations are open, the franchisee will need additional management assistance to operate multiple units.
