Crepe Delicious
Bottom line
- Total investment $178K – $978K including a $35K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 72/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview
About
Franchisees operate casual quick-service crepe restaurants, preparing and selling sweet and savory crepes, beverages, and light fare to walk-in and order customers. Day-to-day operations involve food preparation, inventory management, customer service, and point-of-sale management in a small footprint location (typically 600–1,200 sq ft). Franchisees are responsible for hiring/training staff, local marketing, and achieving sales targets while paying 6% of gross revenues to corporate.
