What Investors Look For In An F&B Franchise

Investing in an F&B franchise is part diligence, part instinct. Here's what serious operators look for.

The five non-negotiables

  • Unit economics that work without subsidies
  • A repeatable training & SOP system
  • Supply chain control
  • Brand recall in target catchments
  • An operator playbook for the first 90 days

INKOTEA scores on all five — which is why our partner-renewal rate is above 90%.
