Pros and cons of opening a cafe as a franchise
Franchise cafes and restaurants have the following positive aspects:
- easy entry into the working rhythm compared to starting your own business;
- accelerated return of funds spent - up to 2 years;
- savings on name promotion;
- support from the parent company on all emerging issues.
Fast food cafes
Cafe and bar franchises also have obvious disadvantages:
- mandatory compliance with the rules of the parent company;
- regular checks from a senior partner;
- work according to the standard, impossibility of making changes - without management approval;
- dependence on the success of the parent company - if it is destroyed, the work of the entire chain stops.
A restaurant or cafe franchise is a convenient way to get started with a certain number of pitfalls. For beginners in the service sector, this is the best option to help you learn the basics and subtleties.
What to consider when opening a franchise restaurant
Franchising, like any business, requires additional investments in addition to the purchase of the franchise itself. When calculating your initial investment, consider costs such as:
- rental of premises;
- purchase of equipment and inventory;
- legal registration of business;
- salary fund for several months;
- purchase of goods, products and raw materials;
- automation system for a restaurant or cafe.
Cafe franchise or own brand
Beginning businessmen have a negative attitude towards popular names, naively believing that their personal brainchild will instantly become profitable. Faced with reality and large losses, they begin to understand that it is easier to take the initial steps under someone else’s leadership, preserving both the invested capital and their own nerves.
Korean food franchise
First you need to decide on the direction of what the establishment will be:
- with Thai, Georgian, Chinese or Asian cuisine;
- fish, meat, beer or vegetarian;
- Do you need a staff of confectioners, bakers, specialists in vegan dishes, healthy eating, etc.
You can open your own brand after developing a regular clientele and fully studying the tactics and strategies of experienced players in the restaurant or bakery industry.
How to open a roadside cafe? Starting a business...
Opening a roadside cafe begins with finding a suitable site. It is important that several factors coincide:
- traffic flow: the larger it is, the better. Ideally, there should be a lot of both cars and trucks among the passing traffic. Truckers and tourists are the main clients of such cafes (in this sense, tourist regions are luckier). The best option is a site inside a populated area located on a federal highway. In addition to passing traffic, local residents can also be clients of such a cafe;
- distance from the nearest major city. On the one hand, there should be a decent distance from the city - at least 30 km, since there are already many similar establishments in the suburbs. On the other hand, being too far from the city is also bad: the purchase of products and ingredients for cafes takes place in large cities, at wholesale stores. And the employees of the establishment also, in most cases, live in the city, and the closer the cafe is to the city, the easier it is for them to get to their place of work;
- competition. Although there are not many roadside cafes in our country, in particularly attractive places the competition can be quite serious. According to the recommendations of the Roadside Business Association of the Russian Federation, the distance between roadside business establishments should be within 30 km: then they will not take away customers from each other.
Varieties of cafe formats
There are several groups that differ in the organization of service:
- Street cafe - can be stationary (pavilion with tables) or mobile type (kitchen on wheels). The establishment does not require large capital; it opens and pays for itself in a short period of time. The average bill is up to 250 rubles.
- A quick service cafe or fast food - 15 minutes are given to work with one client, involves several tables and no seats. The menu is a single product (cheeseburgers, pizza). If the kiosk is placed correctly, the average bill reaches 300 rubles.
- Cafe area or food court - several kiosks, tables and seats are located in a common area (in a shopping center or cinema). The company's costs are low, the only negative is high competition.
- Free flow or free flow is a self-service or bistro establishment with an open kitchen. Visitors choose their own dishes, pay and go to their tables. The option attracts a large number of people due to low prices and convenience. A prominent representative is the democratic franchise of the Mumu variant with classic Russian cuisine.
- Quick Restoran Service is a type of cafe with seating and a menu of semi-finished products.
- Casual Cafe - Includes casual seating, children's play area and event space. It is equipped with a classic kitchen where food is prepared: both hot dishes and sweets and baked goods. Such an enterprise requires large financial resources and takes longer to pay for itself, but the profit is also greater than that of the simplest cafe formats.
How promising is it to open a restaurant in Russia and what format is better to choose?
“You always want to eat,” says popular wisdom. However, today, when the crisis is strong, it is better for the “breadwinner” businessman not to rely on the premium segment of catering, but to go to the masses, offering food at affordable prices. In this segment, fast food is more popular, not necessarily hamburgers, but any fast food, because revenue with a small average check will depend on turnover.
It is optimal to consider a niche in your city or region for delivering ready-made food to your home or office with online order acceptance .
Get closer to the consumer and offer him to quickly satisfy his hunger - this format of establishments in Russia is now the most in demand, and not at all pretentious elite restaurants with VIP rooms.
How to choose a cafe franchise
When choosing a suitable project, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
- for the duration of the company's operation;
- reputation in business circles - based on reviews from partners and visitors;
- number of retail outlets in the regions;
- agreement and conditions under which the right to use the brand is granted.

To avoid mistakes, it is better to choose a well-known company with thriving catering outlets.
How to buy a franchise and open a sushi restaurant - instructions for franchisees
Choosing a partner is only half done. The most important thing ahead is to open your own cafe or restaurant.
I asked Arkady to describe all the steps step by step and give his recommendations. His experience is valuable; it will help you avoid mistakes typical for beginners.
Step 1. Pay the lump sum fee
A lump sum fee is a one-time payment for the franchise. In Sushi Master it is 400,000 rubles.
This price includes:
- the right to work under a brand;
- design project of the premises;
- ready-made marketing strategy;
- production standards and technologies;
- education;
- arrival of the start-up team.
All transferred rights to use the brand, technology and other things are governed by a commercial concession agreement, which is registered with Rospatent.
Step 2. We undergo training (in Krasnodar)
After paying the fee you become part of the team. Management is interested in your success, so training is provided for all new franchisees.
One of the company’s owners, Alex Yanovsky, an entrepreneur and effective business coach with 20 years of teaching experience, also takes part in supporting and training new partners.
Step 3. Launching a business under the leadership of a startup team
The last and most exciting stage is putting knowledge into practice.
Together with the start-up team, you will select the best location and premises, as well as prepare the restaurant for opening. But even after this, the Sushi Master will assist in running the business.
They will help you:
- analyze the first results of the work;
- adjust marketing and management strategy;
- bring the restaurant to a stable profit.
The ultimate goal is to prepare you to open your next restaurant. And if the implementation of the first project takes 3-6 months, then the period is reduced to 2-4.
Open a cafe as a franchise: how much does it cost and what documents are needed
Based on the volume of invested funds, they can be divided into three volume subgroups:
- Mini-cafe is an economical format. To open an establishment, you will need a premises of 100 m2 (with a hall for visitors and a separate room for a kitchen) and approximately 1.1 million rubles (excluding the initial contribution of the parent company).
- Standard - designed for a larger room and an increase in the number of visitors. For a normal start you will need at least 1.5 million rubles;
- Turnkey - involves a final solution, costing 2 million rubles or more.
Baskin Robbins Cafe
Before renting premises and signing a franchise agreement, you must prepare the following documentation:
- permission from Rospotrebnadzor - the document confirms the compliance of the premises with sanitary and epidemiological standards;
- certification of products that will be prepared by a cafe or bakery;
- contract for disinfection and deratization;
- agreement on waste removal;
- logs of sanitary measures: for accounting of disinfectants and waste removal;
- an agreement with a dry cleaner for washing staff clothes;
- contract for cleaning ventilation, destruction of food waste;
- premises rental agreement;
- conclusion of the fire inspection.
If distant plans involve the sale of alcoholic beverages, then a license for the sale of alcoholic beverages is added to the list.
How to get a plot of land to build a cafe?
To set up a roadside cafe, you need to coordinate this not only with the local administration and the property committee, but also with the federal road agency (Rosavtodor). In addition, in the future, you will have meetings with other regulatory authorities, including Rospotrebnadzor and Pozhnadzor.
In order to rent a plot, you should contact the local administration - the municipal property management committee. You must provide a rough layout of the site and write an application. Next, you will go through a competition procedure for the right to rent this land plot (if a cafe can be located in this place).
Now support for small businesses comes from the federal authorities and start-up businessmen are treated more and more kindly. There, in the administration, you can find out in more detail about all the approvals and permits required to open a roadside cafe (please also contact the architecture department).

Tips for choosing a franchise
When searching for a suitable parent company, an aspiring businessman should pay attention to the following recommendations:
- Amount of costs - after choosing the cafe option, you need to study the size of the initial capital: the amount of money for opening, the amount of the lump sum contribution, the amount of losses before reaching payback.
- Revenues - A proven model always has advantages due to its proven effectiveness. The parent company must provide information in advance about the operation of points similar to the original premises. This is how key financial indicators are assessed and further actions are planned. Information can be obtained both from representatives of the main company and from those who work under its brand. The best option is on both sides.
- Work plan - all processes must be spelled out in it. This approach allows you to minimize risk. The finished project should be automated and not raise questions regarding the need to control the operation of the outlet.
- Popularity - a well-promoted brand gives more guarantees of recognition and an influx of customers. We must not forget that the cost of the project depends on the name.
- Marketing - an entrepreneur must know what marketing policy the parent company is pursuing and what it includes. Some companies limit themselves to general recommendations - it is better not to enter into agreements with them, so as not to be left with an unfamiliar production in splendid isolation, and after a while go bankrupt.
- Feedback from partners - with those who have already purchased a franchise, it is easier to navigate all the pitfalls. The first steps taken will better tell you about the positive and negative sides of cooperation, issues that arose during the work, and suggest ways to resolve them.
Evaluating all official franchising projects and terms will take time, but will help prevent the serious mistake of concluding a contract with a fraudulent company. A roadside snack bar with granulated coffee drink and an off-brand burger on the menu will cost less, but will not provide the expected profit.

Trends in the development of cafes in Russia in 2020
In 2020, the Russian catering industry grew by 3.6% compared to 2020. The total turnover of cafes, restaurants, coffee houses, bars and canteens reached 1.64 trillion rubles. The market driver turned out to be fast food: the industry grew by 17%. Traditional restaurants showed negative dynamics: their turnover decreased by 11%.
Experts agree that in 2020 the market will see a large number of cafe closures. The abundance of establishments that appeared in 2015-2017 formed a “soap bubble”, which bursts against the background of a decrease in the disposable income of citizens. There are still the strongest players in the industry, capable of offering delicious and original dishes at reasonable prices. The easiest and most effective way to meet this trend is to join a successful franchise chain.
For chain restaurateurs, selling franchises is an easy way to make money compared to opening new establishments on their own. For beginning entrepreneurs, buying a cafe franchise means getting rid of the headaches associated with studying the market, choosing a location, finding staff and developing food recipes.
How much money does it take to open a roadside cafe?
According to representatives of roadside business, the cost of building even a small cafe, provided that ready-made infrastructure is available, will be at least $100 thousand. Ready-made infrastructure means the presence of utility networks, asphalt road surfaces, parking areas for heavy vehicles, etc. If you start construction, so to speak, in an “open field,” then the costs will be 3-4 times higher. We are talking about no less than $500 thousand, and again, these are minimal costs.
The higher the start-up costs, the longer the payback period of the business. A small roadside cafe, under successful circumstances, can pay for itself in 2-3 years. Larger roadside complexes with sleeping rooms and other infrastructure pay for themselves in 5-6 years. This is normal for this type of business.
Where is it profitable to build a roadside cafe?
The most advantageous location for a roadside cafe is considered to be in close proximity to the city, or on federal highways with high traffic. Many catering establishments can be found on the routes of the tourist destination. The main clients of such establishments are truckers, tourist groups and people traveling by personal transport.
There will always be a demand for catering services, since here we are talking about satisfying the vital human need for food. An indisputable fact that speaks in favor of opening a business in the catering industry is that the number of vehicles on our roads is steadily growing. The development of roadside service is a priority in the state policy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses.
Construction of a cafe
After completing all stages of searching and registering a land plot, construction of a roadside cafe begins. There are many similarities here to organizing a regular cafe, but there are some nuances.
The main thing you should pay attention to is the appearance of the cafe. Many people think that this is not important, that the original design is a waste of money. For an ordinary city canteen, where people will come to eat anyway, the design and decoration are not important - the main thing is that the prices are reasonable. In the case of a roadside cafe, this will not be enough.
For a roadside establishment, the main thing is that car owners passing by will certainly stop near it. And staying near a bright and unusual establishment is always more pleasant than staying near a nondescript, half-dead pavilion.
Therefore, the more colorful the design, the more unique the surrounding area is decorated, the better it is maintained, the more tourists and vacationers will stop near your establishment. It is not advisable to save on this article.
A set of important rules
- Do business in which you see self-realization. The franchisee must love what he does.
- Consider all proposals. Pay special attention to lump sum fees and royalties. It is important to understand the franchisor's motivation. These are fixed payments or income depending on the volume of sales of goods. In the second case, there is a guarantee that the franchisor is himself interested in the development of the franchisee.
- Assess the business plan of your future partner and the potential of your city.
- When starting your activities as a franchisee, follow the recommendations on all matters of doing business.
- Find out as much information as possible from the franchisee before signing the contract. And even more after signing. Until all the details of doing business are clear. Use all services and applications, as well as franchise programs. Follow all company news carefully.
- Buy a franchise with your available funds.
- Strive to be better than others. If you want to earn more, then work more. Constantly improve. Work on your efficiency.
- Don't stop there. Constantly educate and train your staff.
- It’s better to do it and redo it if something goes wrong. What not to do and regret for the rest of your life.
