WHAT ARE THE FEES?
$69, 500 +GST for the initial fee (includes all training, POS systems, Staff Uniforms etc.) · 6.5% of turnover · This works out to a fraction of the cost of a GYG, Zambreros, Salsas or Mad Mex! This Model Keeps Money In Your Pocket! Good Business = Good Money!
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO EARN?
Earnings from a store can vary widely and California Tacos cannot estimate the results of any particular Franchisee. Success is based on a number of factors; the most important of which is the excellence in operational standards upheld by the Franchisee. There are business risks involved in starting any new business and earnings are not predictable.
HOW ELSE CAN I EARN REVENUE?
FOOD TRUCK! Yes, you heard us correct! Adding a food truck to your existing restaurant is an AMAZING way to boost sales, move stocks and expand your business! We have extensive experience in managing food trucks. Including marketing, proprietary bookings systems etc!
WILL I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIRING STAFF?
Yes. This is your business and one of the most critical factors that contribute to success in business is hiring the right people. Whilst California Tacos will train your staff to recreate our exceptional menu, it is your responsibility to find, hire and retain the best people.
WHEN COULD I BE UP AND RUNNING?
You could open your new store in as little as 3 months. You need to allow for 6 weeks to build the store and a further two weeks for training and supplier connections. Your cooperation with the Licensing team will ensure your application progresses as quickly as possible.
