With their flagship location bringing in over $1 million in sales in its first year (with no professional marketing), and a model that encourages easy scalability and owning multiple locations, there is unlimited potential for Toastique Owners as they franchise nationwide.

Business Features:

1. Expectation-Shattering Financials: In 2021 in the midst of a global pandemic that was negatively affecting the restaurant industry, they saw Average Gross Sales of $847,710 and an Average Net Profit of $173,192 – an unheard of 20% profit margin! For context, the average fast-casual restaurant sees between 6-9% profit margins.

2. Lower-Cost Entry into the Fast Casual Space: For a restaurant concept, Toastique has a considerably low initial investment starting at only $347,250. Because of their simple model and low overhead, they are able to keep their investment lower than the typical restaurant concept that can be anywhere from $500,000 to $2,000,000 to get started.

3. Growing Health Industry: Consumers are increasingly seeking out nutritious “grab-and-go” dining options. As the desire to be healthy continues to become more important, Toastique is benefiting from its unique health-focused concept, growing quickly and awarding 35 new franchises in 2021! Consumers are also looking for food transparency on their menus, and they candidly display the derivative of their ingredients, as they are all locally sourced, prepared in-house, and all-natural.

4. Simplicity and Scalability: Toastique’s compact, efficient design requires no extreme cooking equipment such as ovens, fryers, or hoods. This allows quick, affordable construction. Once opened, their locations are manageable with a team of 2-4 members to run. Because of the simplicity of opening a location, it’s not surprising that 66% of the franchise system are multi-unit owners.

5. Unique, Elevated Concept: Fast-healthy options are few and far between. They stand out from similar concepts with their locally sourced menu of gourmet toast and bowl options, as well as smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and coffee. Toastique takes the fast-healthy idea and elevates it with a vibrant look and feel, a concept that makes sense for today’s health-conscious consumer.

6. Flexible Dining Options: Their product offerings lend themselves to be eaten at one of their cafes, delivered to a home or office, or taken out. There is also unlimited potential for large catering opportunities as all of their menu items can be easily translated to a buffet or tray-passed form. The variety of methods they can use to bring their product to their customers provides diversification of revenue and extra security for their Owners.
