Franchise Opportunity
There are a number of steps to becoming a Franchisee with To-Sit. Following credit verification, Management’ team will visit your site to determine if it meets the chain’s criteria.
Franchisees will then be asked to take part in a ‘Day of Discovery’ – inspecting To-Sit branch restaurants situated in Bangkok. It is an important opportunity to gain valuable hands-on knowledge of “working” branches and to meet key To-Sit people.
Following the agreement, franchisees must pay a franchise fee and take part in a 10-week training program in Bangkok. Construction and/or renovation and decoration of your new branch begins shortly after. Once your new branch is ready, a grand opening will be organized with the assistance of To-Sit’s Franchise Consultant, Operations and Marketing’ department.
In addition to your initial investment, a royalty fee of 5% on gross sales, plus a marketing fee of 2% will be charged.
