About Taco Bell

After leaving the Marine Corps at 23, Glen Bell came home to San Bernardino, California and opened a hot dog stand. But his real interest was in alternative menu items, so he began selling tacos for 19 cents from a side window of the hot dog stand. When the tacos proved as popular as he had hoped, he started opening Taco Tia stands where tacos were the stars of the menu. In 1962, Bell sold the Taco Tia brand to his partners and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey, California. Franchising began two years later. Taco Bell is the country's driving Mexican-propelled snappy administration eatery (QSR) mark. We serve made-to-request and adaptable tacos and burritos, among other craveable decisions, and are the primary QSR eatery to offer American Vegetarian Association (AVA)- confirmed menu items. Taco Bell and our more than 350 establishment associations work over 6,500 eateries throughout the United States that gladly serve around 40 million clients consistently.

Outside of our eateries, individuals can simply get to the Taco Bell mark through our Mobile Ordering and Payment App. In 2014, Taco Bell turned into the main QSR to dispatch a versatile application at eateries across the nation for both drive-through and feasting orders. Notwithstanding the portable application, individuals can arrange their most loved menu things by means of desktop on Ta.co or for conveyance through our association with DoorDash.

While Taco Bell is fundamentally a U.S. mark, Yum! Brands managed to make it the Company's third worldwide brand. Outside the U.S., we have over 300 Taco Bell units in 24 nations, barring the Yum! China Division.

The initial investment necessary to begin operation of a Taco Bell Express Unit ranges from $252,550 to $580,100 for a Custom Façade Unit, including $22,500 that must be paid to the licensor and $2,000 to $5,000 that must be paid to its affiliate for the first unit only.
For a Power-Pumper or In-Line Unit, the total investment ranges from $345,950 to $701,100, including $22,500 that must be paid to the licensor and $3,500 to $5,000 that must be paid to its affiliate for the first unit only.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of an existing restaurant ranges from $152,250 to $1,766,250 or more, excluding real property, all of which must be paid to licensor or an affiliate.

About PINCHO

"Pincho
Pincho is an elevated fast-casual Latin grill concept. We’re a concept that was born from a passion for food and is ready to grow to the next level. We’re a modern-day burger and kebab joint, and we haven’t seen any other new franchise opportunity out there doing things quite like us.
“There’s nobody else like us in the U.S.,” says CEO and Co-Founder Otto Othman. “I’m not sure there’s anybody else like us anywhere that is serving up these kinds of meals influenced by iconic Latin street food and Latin American dishes. You wrap all that up into a concept that has fantastic economics, and you have something truly unique.”

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Pincho franchise under a franchise agreement is $463,055 - $655,500. This includes $30,000 that must be paid to the Franchisor or affiliate.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Pincho franchise for the first restaurant if you sign an Area Development Agreement, which requires a minimum development of 3 Pincho Restaurants, is $523,055 - $715,500. This includes $90,000 that must be paid to the Franchisor or affiliate. If you and the franchisor agree to the development of more than 3 Pincho Restaurants, then your initial total investment for the first restaurant will increase by the number of additional Restaurants to be opened under the Area Development Agreement, multiplied by $30,000.
