> How much is the franchise fee for a Salata franchise?
|
$30,000 per restaurant location. |
> Does Salata offer multi-unit development opportunities?
|
Yes. Salata is actively seeking franchisees who will build multiple restaurant locations over time. To secure the rights to open multiple units in a specific trade area, you must pay an area development fee equal to $15,000 multiplied by the number of restaurants to be developed. This $15,000 deposit is then credited toward the franchise fee of $30,000 for each restaurant developed. For example, if you purchased the right to develop three units in a specific trade area, you would be required to pay $45,000 ($15,000 x 3) as the deposit on three franchised restaurants, plus $15,000 as the balance of the franchise fee for the first unit, for a total of $45,000. You would be obligated to pay the balance on each franchisee fee, or $15,000, for the second and third restaurant locations when leases for those locations are executed. |
> How much is the on-going royalty fee?
|
5% of total gross sales less sales tax. |
> How much is the advertising and promotional obligation?
|
1% of total gross sales less sales tax. This amount will be allocated to the Salata system advertising and promotional fund. |
> How is the site selected for my restaurant?
|
Salata will provide Real Estate assistance and must approve all Salata restaurant locations. It is the franchisees responsibility to present potential sites for approval to Salata. Salata will provide a Site Approval Package to assist each franchisee in this regard. |
> Is there any experience necessary to own a Salata franchise?
|
Yes, but not necessarily in foodservice. Salata actively searches for candidates with strong business and leadership skills. |
> Do I need to be involved in the day-to-day operation of my franchise?
|
At least one owner or a designated general manager must be involved on a full-time basis and must be responsible for the day-to-day operations and management. At least one owner must assume responsibility for general oversight and management of each restaurant. |
> How will I know if I have the necessary finances?
|
You must show a net worth in excess of $500,000, with $100,000 available in liquid assets for each proposed restaurant to be developed. |
