Vicious Biscuit Restaurant Franchise Cost

WE Know Good Biscuit People

This may be our first biscuit revolution but it’s not our first rodeo. Our team has played integral roles in the massive success of brands like McAllister’s, Chick-Fil-A, Marco’s Pizza and YUM! Brands to name a few. In short, we know what it takes to succeed in restaurant franchising.

As you’ve seen from our biscuit basic training, most things about the Vicious Biscuit franchise can be taught.

That said, here are a few big pluses to have in your back pocket:

Prior experience in the restaurant industry
Experience in customer-facing industries like hospitality or event planning
A passion for serving others and creating memorable experiences
An ability to maintain a positive work culture
Experience managing multiple units is ideal but not a deal breaker

$500k liquid capital
$1 million net worth
Initial Franchise Fee: $40,000 plus $5,000 Development Services Fee
