We are primarily looking for partners with a passion for our brand, a strong business acumen, and the ability to lead and motivate a team. Prior experience in gastronomy is an advantage, but not a prerequisite. More important are your determination, entrepreneurial mindset, and willingness to follow our proven system. We will provide you with comprehensive training.

The standard process, from your first contact to the grand opening of your location, typically takes around 3 to 6 months. The exact duration can vary based on factors like how quickly you find and secure a suitable location, arrange financing, and complete any necessary construction or renovations.

The total initial investment varies depending on the type, size, and condition of the specific location (e.g., food court versus a street-front restaurant). It includes the initial franchise fee, costs for project documentation and design, construction and fit-out of the premises (technology, furniture), software, initial inventory of ingredients and packaging, marketing activities related to the opening, and necessary working capital for the first few months. We'll provide a more precise estimate during a personal meeting.

As a franchisee, you'll pay regular fees, which typically include:

• Licence fee: This is calculated as a percentage of your net turnover and covers the right to use the brand and its know-how.
• Marketing fee:: This is a contribution to central marketing activities, brand promotion, and the development of marketing materials that support the entire network.

Before opening your location, you and your management team will complete our comprehensive Training Program. The training covers all key areas: Banh-mi-ba brand standards, food preparation according to our recipes, operational procedures, hygiene standards (HACCP) and health & safety, customer service, working with our POS and inventory system, local marketing, and the fundamentals of financial management for your location.

Yes, we actively support the growth of our successful and proven franchisees. The opportunity to open additional locations depends on your results with the first location, your financial stability, and your operational capacity.

Our support doesn't end with the opening. We provide ongoing assistance in operations (process optimization, quality control), marketing (national campaigns, local support), purchasing (negotiated prices from suppliers), and menu and technology innovations. You'll have access to our experienced headquarters team, and we regularly share best practices within the network.

Choosing the right location is crucial for success. We'll help you with market analysis in your area, define the space requirements, and provide support in finding and evaluating potential sites. The final location selection always requires our approval to ensure its suitability for the BANH-MI-BA concept. We can also assist you in negotiating lease terms.

Profitability and the speed of your initial investment's return depend on a number of factors, including the attractiveness of the location, the rent amount, your management skills, cost control efficiency, and local competition. During the process, we'll provide you with more information and tools to create your own financial plan, but we cannot guarantee specific profit figures.
