    ROLLED IN TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CONE STYLE

    The Franchise Opportunity

    Eight Turn Crepe is a fast-casual Japanese crepe franchise offering three distinct business models: food truck, kiosk, and brick-and-mortar. The investment range for each model varies based on several factors, including the state of operation, the square footage of the location, and the condition of the space (for example, whether it’s a previously used restaurant or requires a full renovation).

    Food Truck Model

    Food trucks are an ideal option for franchisees who want to test the market in a new area, move their business to different locations, or place a greater focus on catering and events.

    Kiosk Model

    The kiosk model is a good option for franchisees who want a more permanent location in a smaller space. Eight Turn Crepe can operate out of smaller footprints and therefore kiosks are often located in high-traffic areas such as malls, airports, and food halls.

    Brick-and-Mortar Model

    The brick-and-mortar model offers the greatest potential for growth and profitability, allowing more customers to be served and a wider range of menu items than food trucks or kiosks. No matter which model you choose, Eight Turn Crepe provides a proven track record of success with comprehensive training and support.

    FAQ'S

    How much will this cost me?

    The total cost to build a location ranges from $200,000 to $475,000 all in. This investment range varies because several factors come into play. We offer three business models to choose from: a food truck, a kiosk, or a brick-and-mortar location. Your final cost will depend on the model selected, the state where the business operates, the square footage of the space, and the condition of the location at the time of build-out.

    Can I qualify without enough liquid capital?

    Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have the full amount of liquid capital available upfront. With a minimum of $100,000 in liquid assets, you may be able to qualify for a loan to cover the remaining portion of your initial investment. The good news is that we are an SBA-approved business, which can help speed up the loan process if you qualify.

    How can I find out if I qualify for a loan?

    We work with funding specialists who we can refer you to if you’d like, though you are welcome to use your own sources as well. These specialists will review your information, explain what is needed, and let you know if you qualify for pre-approval for a loan if that is the path you choose to take.

    What’s included in the $200,000–475,000 range?

    This cost covers getting the entire restaurant open and operating. The $40,000 franchise fee is included, along with $25,000–$50,000 in working capital to help start your business. Build-out, design, construction or renovation, furniture, fixtures, inventory, and equipment are all included. A full breakdown is provided in our Franchise Disclosure Document. With a simple design and minimal equipment, this is a relatively low initial investment.

    Do we provide training and support?

    Absolutely! We have a proven and effective model, along with a complete training program designed to make you confident and capable of running a location independently. We also provide ongoing support throughout the entire partnership. After all, our goal is to help you succeed every step of the way!
