Important points

Risks?We think that buying a business especially Restaurants it is quite risky.80 % of the restaurants do not operate for more than 2 years. Restaurants are affected by the cost of food and labor costs.Situations that influence the success of the restaurant are: Owners without experience is a major reason.Others are:Bad service.High price. Servings and presentation.The lack of hygiene.Dirty tables.Trash on the floor.Poor Customer Service Flavor inconsistencyLack of entertainment, music, jukeboxes, Lack of creativity to attract clientele.Employees or cooks turn overand others.

Our Future.The champas is proud to be the first Franchise Model for families getting their first Restaurant keeping in mind the efforts for a new proprietor to get a new Restaurant and offering a very low cost dish and the new owner a restaurant at a low price . We sell 20,000 to 40,000 Pupusas every month, that is a huge success to a newly opened Restaurant. We believe that in two to three years will be very recognized as any other Restaurant chains or Franchise Business worth $50,000 to hundreds Thousands of Dollars but without the very high cost.Franchise Model began 30-50 years ago and still operating, why because it works. Imagine if you could you have known what you know now when El Pollo Loco, subways and many more where brand new and at a low cost.Just imagined.. .

What if I do not have a successful location?None of our restaurants has had that kind of experience. We will not let that happen.What if I was not able to operate my restaurant due to medical problems, family, partners, etc ?Our program allows us buy back the Restaurant or restaurants.The repurchase price will be based on several factors. Can I check the contract with my attorney?Course.

What is the first step if I decide to buy a restaurant today? First is to understand the size or capacity that you seeks to operate.A Restaurant that holds 45 people is different than one of 125 people.Other decisions are: When do I want to get my Restaurant?What budget do you have?What about the paying for my Restaurant?First we take 50% to get you the Locations you are looking for, 25% more when we finish getting ready for grand opening and 25% after we had it opened for 2 to3 weeks.What if I change my mind?Will have to wait until we sell it to another buyer and 10% will be retained.

You could I own Restaurant, not just the lease? Only if the property owner is willing to sell .Property and equipment is very expensive.If a Restaurant was closed for more than 24 months it must be re approved with the city, gas lines, water and sewer lines need to be checked, that cost will influence the total price of a restaurant and approvals by the health department may take 30 days or more.I can buy several restaurants ? Of course .I can sell my restaurants with you? yes. Can I invest in Restaurants? Yes. Ask me for the investment opportunities.Make a substantial return without having to run a Restaurant.

How do you secure my investment? We will issue a lien note against any of our restaurants as colateral.What is the cost of belonging to the franchise? Usually that franchisees pay 5% to 7% monthly sales . A regular Restaurant which is sells $50,000 monthly would have to pay $ 2,500 $ 3,500 monthly . Las Champas Royalty is $1,000 a month, that includes Advertising, business help.Extreme cases when a server, cashier or cook did not show up on the busiest day of the month or year.
