Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our franchise opportunity

Do I need restaurant experience to own a franchise? +
No restaurant experience is required. While food industry background is helpful, we've had successful franchisees from diverse backgrounds including corporate, retail, and other industries. Our comprehensive training program covers everything you need to know about seafood operations, quality control, and business management.
What are the ongoing fees? +
Ongoing fees include a 6% royalty on gross sales and 2% marketing fund contribution. These fees cover ongoing support, training, technology, national marketing, and access to our supply chain. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs.
How long does it take to open a franchise? +
From signing the franchise agreement to opening day typically takes 4-6 months. This includes training (4 weeks), site selection and lease negotiation (4-8 weeks), construction and setup (6-10 weeks), and pre-opening preparation (2 weeks). Express Kiosks can open in as little as 8-10 weeks.
Can I own multiple franchise locations? +
Absolutely! We encourage multi-unit ownership for qualified franchisees. Many of our most successful partners operate 2-5 locations. After proving success with your first location, we offer preferential terms for additional territories. Multi-unit operators benefit from economies of scale and shared management.
What financing options are available? +
We have partnerships with several banks and financial institutions that understand our franchise model. Typically, lenders require 30-40% down payment with the rest financed. We assist with preparing your business plan and financial projections. SBA loans (for US-based franchises) and European equivalents are common options.
How do you ensure fresh seafood delivery? +
Our supply chain is the backbone of our success. We have direct relationships with certified sustainable fisheries and processing facilities. Daily deliveries are scheduled based on your sales patterns. All seafood is temperature-monitored from catch to delivery. Our logistics team ensures you never run out of popular items.
What is the average profit margin? +
Gross margins typically range from 60-75% on our premium seafood products. After operating expenses (labor, rent, utilities, royalties), franchisees typically see EBITDA margins of 18-25%. Actual results vary based on location, management, and sales volume. We provide detailed financial projections during the discovery process.
Is territory protection guaranteed? +
Yes, absolutely. Each franchise receives an exclusive protected territory defined by population, demographics, and geography. We will not award another franchise within your territory. This protection is detailed in your franchise agreement and ensures you're not competing with other Océan Bleu locations.
