Investment
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a KPOT restaurant franchise is $425,700 to $1,713,100. This includes $80,450 to $127,850 that must be paid to the franchisor and/or its affiliate.
The franchisor also offers the opportunity for a franchisee to sign a Multi-Unit Development Agreement that will allow development of at least three franchises in a defined area. The total initial investment necessary under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement equals $50,000 multiplied by the total number of Restaurants to be developed. This amount is payable to the franchisor. The franchisor credits this development fee in increments of $50,000 against the initial franchise fee for each restaurant developed upon the signing of each franchise agreement. The total investment necessary to begin operation of each restaurant under a multi-unit development agreement is the same as that for a single unit. The total amount paid to the franchisor , per location, is also the same as for a single unit.
