We like to think of it as the Oscars of the restaurant business.
The Hot Concept Award is given each year by the editors of NRN to six emerging restaurant brands that have distinguished themselves as Hot Concepts: "fast-growing, financially proven overachievers that are on their way to becoming tomorrow's giants." Each winner must be a clearly defined concept that appeals to consumers and positions the company at the leading edge of foodservice.
The goal is to recognize brands for their innovation, successful business strategies and entrepreneurial spirit.
The initial franchise fee is $50,000. The estimated investment necessary
to begin operation of a Gyu-Kaku franchise unit franchise range is
$1,200,444 to $2,526,540. This includes $56,500 to $71,500 that is paid
to the franchisor and its affiliates.
The franchisor may also offer you
the optional right to execute an Area Development Agreement granting you
a right to open one to four additional Outlets for an additional
investment of $25,000 (for one additional Outlet) to $100,000 (for four
additional Outlets), all of which must be paid to the franchisor.
