Zoup! Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

The franchise business is a soup-differentiated fast casual restaurant business featuring a variety of soups, sandwiches and salads. Each location offers 12 hand-crafted varieties each day from its collection of hundreds of proprietary recipes. Zoup! restaurants also package larger quantities of food for consumption by larger groups referred to as "CaterZoup!". These CaterZoup! packages may be picked-up by the customer or delivered to the customer.

The franchise business is a quick casual restaurant that sells gourmet soups, salads, sandwiches and related items to the general public. It is possible to purchase a single franchise or an area development franchise. If the franchisee wishes to open two or more Zoup! restaurant franchises within an exclusive area, they can sign an area development agreement. The area developer is given the exclusive right to open Zoup! restaurant franchises in the designated area during the term of the area development agreement.

The franchisor does not offer any direct or indirect financing to their franchisees nor do they guarantee any note, lease or obligation.

The training program will be conducted without charge for up to 2 people who are owners of the franchise or management employees of the franchise. The franchisor will train additional people if the franchisee requests, but it may charge a reasonable fee for each additional person trained. The training program will generally be conducted over a 15 day period. Franchisees or their owners and management employees may be required to attend additional training, sales programs and meetings reasonably specified.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
