Frequently Asked Questions

General questions

Can I open more than one restaurant?

At first, we would like to see you purchase one franchise, become familiar with the business, and then purchase your second or third Hummus Republic Franchise. Based on your application and financial information, you may be eligible to purchase more than one franchise up front and at a discounted rate.

Do I still get the discounted rate if I open additional locations later?

No, in order to benefit from the reduced initial franchise fee, you must purchase all agreements up front.

How much time do I need to spend in my restaurant?

We highly encourage a hands-on approach in the ramp-up and development of your Hummus Republic restaurant(s). Guest service and a great attitude are major factors and should not be taken for granted. As you develop your business and hire reliable managers, we still encourage your participation during peak business times and catering opportunities.

Financials

How much money do I need to start a franchise?

The initial franchise fee for your first franchise is $36,000. The initial franchise fee for multiple units may be discounted for additional franchises based on certain conditions and criteria. The estimated initial investment for a typical Hummus Republic restaurant will be between $133,000 and $487,000

What do I need to qualify financially?
  •  

  • To purchase a Hummus Republic franchise, you will need a credit score of 680 and the required liquid capital of $150k.

     
  •  
If I don't meet the financial or operational criteria to become a franchisee, Can I partner with someone who does?

Yes you can. As long as your partner owns at least 50% of your organization, this is fine.

Do you help me secure financing?

Once you have signed up and pre-qualified, we will refer you to our preferred lenders and they will work with you to secure you loan

Real estate and locations

What are the best locations for a new restaurant?

Hummus Republic appeals to many different demographic groups. An appealing, accessible location is always critical. We will help you analyze potential buildings and locations based on our decades of experience to date. Your own observations of what has succeeded and what has not in your target markets are also invaluable.

 
Who signs the lease?

You, the franchisee, will sign the lease.

What is the average size of a Hummus Republic location?

The average traditional restaurant is between 1,000 and 2,500 sq. ft.

Who designs and build the restaurant?

A Hummus Republic construction coordinator will help you manage your custom design plans and we will assist you in securing an architect and engineer, as well as identifying approved subcontractors.

 

Purchasing food

Where do I buy my supply, such as food and paper?

Hummus Republic has a national network of approved distributors that carry our contracted and proprietary products.
