As a franchisee, your initial investment is the franchisee fee, the cost of securing and setting up your BAJIO® restaurant location, miscellaneous service, business and product expenses in addition to the promotional efforts to announce the opening of your restaurant. A cost breakdown can be found in the Initial Franchise Costs listed below.

We encourage you to learn more about the performance of our existing restaurants by speaking with our franchisees. Since we don’t know where your restaurant will be or how well you will run it, we can’t predict your results. In fact, to eliminate possible misunderstandings, we have a policy that no agent or employee of ours can provide you with projections of potential sales, earnings and profitability.
