Big plans.
Clear investment details.
Request the current investment breakdown. A considered decision starts with understanding the full cost and the responsibilities behind it.
Look at the
whole picture.
Discuss the franchise fee, setup, equipment, opening stock and taxes as one complete package. Confirm the current inclusions in writing.
Ask separately about rent and deposits, working capital, local permissions, staffing and ongoing charges. These details matter to your own business plan.
Four conversations to have
Franchise & brand
Confirm the fee, tax basis, agreement duration, brand-use rights and any territory arrangements.
Your café setup
Review the scope of interior, branding, equipment, utensils, POS and any other setup items.
Opening preparations
Discuss initial stock, packaging, recruitment assistance, training and who is responsible for each step.
Ongoing obligations
Ask about royalty, marketing charges, ordering and delivery, rent, staff costs, working capital and quotation validity.
No return or payback period is promised here. Review the current agreement and your own business plan before committing.
