What’s Needed to Own a Franchise
Like any business, owning a franchised Foster’s Grille restaurant means making a financial investment. To help you decide if Foster’s Grille is the right opportunity for you, we’ve laid out some of the basic requirements needed to be considered for a franchise.
| $40,000Initial Franchise Fee | $100,000Liquid Capital Required |
| $500,000Minimum Net Worth | 5% & 3% Royalty and National Advertising Fee |
| $291,700 - $538,100Total Estimated Initial Investment | |
Beyond the financial requirements, we’ve found that certain types of people thrive within the Foster’s Grille environment. These are people who are:
- Aligned with the Foster’s Grille brand and vision
- Able to hire the right people
- Committed to delivering quality food and service
- Strong managers and natural leaders
- Involved in both the day-to-day operations and business side of the restaurant
- Long-term oriented and focused on reaching larger business goals
- Involved in their communities

Application Process

Once we have your complete application, our Franchise Development Team will review your materials and make a decision about your application. If we decide you’re a good fit for our franchise program, we’ll provide you with our Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”) and then it’s time for Step 5.
