About Box Lunch

Box Lunch is a no-frills fast service Sandwich Shop. We don't cook!! We feature Rolled PITA bread sandwiches (the Rollwich?) and use only the best quality ingredients. The perception of the general public is that we are a healthy alternative to Fried food. Our ingredients appeal to a broad demographic, and are neither healthfood nor ethnically oriented. Our speed results from our basic operating system. We can easily feed 250 people per hour with a small crew and in a small space. We are perfectly suited to take-out, and to drive-up service. Our average per-customer is about $7.00, food costs of about %30, and our competition is anyone else in that price range. Start-up costs for Box Lunch are reasonable (usually under $120,000) and our fees are low. Some freedom of menu offerings is possible, and "home-cooked" sides and desserts are encouraged, but optional. We do NOT allow fried food or alcohol to be sold from our stores; it's just bad for our image.

About Beach Hut Deli

In 1981, Troy Feist created a food service concept that his  friends would enjoy.  Troy’s vision was to develop a restaurant with a beach resort culture. He wanted to serve great food and craft beers on draft while listening to music he loved. Now, for over 35 years, Beach Hut Deli has been serving unique salads, amazing sandwiches and craft beers in an unique environment. Our strategy for growth is to expand with qualified franchisees we support as owners in the Beach Hut Deli Ohana.

The initial Franchisee Fee is $35,000 for first time purchasers, $19,000 for existing BEACH HUT DELI franchisees purchasing an additional traditional, stand-alone franchise, $20,000 for Ohana Applicants, and, $7,500 for an existing Beach Hut Deli franchisee purchasing an express franchise location.
