Some Commonly Asked Questions About How to Own a Fast-Casual Franchise with a "Fast-Fine" Twist …

The Gyro Project is beyond what people expect from fast-casual dining. Do you know we dim the lights at dinner time? It’s those details that make the difference. We’re excited for you to learn more. 

Costs

The estimated initial investment necessary to begin operations ranges from $449,600 to $788,100 for a full sized restaurant, and between $422,100 and $746,100 for an urban location. This includes a $35,000 initial franchise fee. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.

We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on a case-by-case basis.

We collect a royalty fee equal to 6% of gross revenues. Fees such as these allow us to fund our ongoing support services at The Gyro Project and the continued development of programs, marketing tools, training programs, recipes, and systems upgrades. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

Franchise owners of The Gyro Project will be required to spend 1% or per month on local marketing each month, and $10,000 to $15,000 on their Grand Opening. You will also contribute 1% of gross revenues to the brand marketing fund. Collected funds will be used to develop marketing strategies to promote The Gyro Project brand and cover the creative costs to develop branded marketing materials and campaigns.
