An affordable fast food franchise

Franchise fast-food vegan Green Farmer’s burger végétal

 

 

Many people associate “cheap franchise” with a low-cost model. At Green Farmer’s, we think differently: an affordable franchise can still be premium when the business model is optimized and recurring fees are under control.

Why an “affordable franchise” doesn’t mean low-cost

The goal isn’t to cut corners on quality, but to reduce the initial investment and eliminate unnecessary costs (royalties, high entry fees…).

  • A proven, indulgent concept: 100% vegan burgers, sides, and exclusive sauces.
  • Simple, fast processes to minimize staff and waste.
  • A brand license instead of a traditional franchise — more freedom, fewer fees.
  • Real operational and marketing support, not just theory.

How Green Farmer’s makes investment accessible

Our Essential offer removes the two biggest cost centers in restaurant franchising:

  • €0 entry fee to join the brand.
  • 0% royalties on turnover.

You invest where it really matters: location, equipment, team, local communication. We provide recipes, supply chain, and marketing tools.

💸 Comparison: Opening Cost of a Standard Fast-Food Franchise vs Green Farmer’s

Opening a franchise restaurant usually requires a significant upfront investment.
In traditional fast-food franchises, the cost to join a recognized brand typically ranges between €250,000 and €450,000, depending on brand recognition, store size, and location.

📊 Typical breakdown of a standard fast-food franchise:

Expense item Estimated range Details
Entry fee €25,000 – €50,000 Access to the network, initial training, operation manuals
Renovation and fit-out €120,000 – €200,000 Major works, furniture, compliance and decoration
Kitchen equipment €60,000 – €100,000 Specialized equipment, cooking systems, storage
Minimum personal contribution €75,000 – €150,000 About 30% of total cost to secure a bank loan
Royalties & marketing fees 6–10% of monthly turnover Brand and national advertising fees
Other costs (insurance, stock, training) €20,000 – €30,000 Launch, training, first stock

💬 In short: before serving your first burger, the bill often exceeds €300,000 for a traditional franchise, with average profitability reached after 3 to 5 years.
