Questions about the franchise
How much does it cost to open a YumiPokeGo restaurant?
Total investment depends on the format, unit size, condition of the premises and the city. The current investment range is itemised in the information pack we share after the intro call. Rent, deposits and base-build works depend on the site and are calculated separately.
What fees are involved — franchise fee, royalty, marketing fund?
The franchise fee is paid once and covers the brand licence, initial training and opening support. Royalty and marketing fund contributions are calculated monthly on net sales. Current rates and amounts are set out in the information pack and the franchise agreement.
Do I need restaurant experience?
Not necessarily — but we expect you to run the business yourself or work with an experienced manager. The training programme is designed with newcomers to the industry in mind. For multi-unit and master franchises we look for food-service or retail experience.
How much space do I need?
It depends on the format: we recommend roughly 15–30 m² for kiosk/express, 30–60 m² for a food-court unit, 40–80 m² for a dark kitchen and 80–150 m² for a street store. The exact requirement is confirmed during the site assessment.
Who finds the premises?
Usually the candidate proposes a site and the YumiPokeGo team approves it after a market analysis and site visit. We can help with the search through our mall and real-estate contacts.
How many staff are needed?
It depends on the format, opening hours and delivery volume. Recommended staffing is 3–5 people for a kiosk, 5–9 for a food-court unit, 4–8 for a dark kitchen and 8–14 for a street store (across shifts).
Where do products and ingredients come from?
Core products, sauces and packaging come from suppliers approved by YumiPokeGo. Regionally approved suppliers may be used for items such as fresh produce.
How long is the franchise agreement?
The agreement term and renewal conditions are set out in the franchise agreement and discussed with you in detail during the evaluation stage.
Can I open more than one restaurant?
Yes. Under a multi-unit agreement you can open several restaurants in a defined territory on an agreed development schedule.
Is a master franchise available for other countries?
We are open to master franchise discussions with international investors who bring local market knowledge, a strong capital base and food-service experience. Simply state your country in the application form.
Is financing available?
YumiPokeGo does not provide financing directly. You may consider banks’ SME and franchise loan products; we share the investment breakdown and business-plan information you need for your application.
