Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. While prior business, retail, or management experience is highly valued, you do not need to be a chef. We provide a comprehensive training program that covers everything from our authentic food preparation to daily business operations. Our proven systems are built to be easily replicated by dedicated partners.
Yes. Saigon Express requires the Franchise Partner to nominate a full-time Store Manager who is approved by our operations team. For single-unit Franchise Partners, this is typically the Franchise Partner themselves, who must devote their full time and effort to the day-to-day management and operation of the business, especially in the first 12 months.
You may choose to enter the business with a business partner who is approved by Saigon Express and will act as the full-time Store Manager. As an investor, you must ensure your operating partner is highly capable, properly incentivized, and heavily involved in the day-to-day operations.
This depends entirely on the location, size, and design of your store model. A fast-paced Express/Kiosk format can range from $150k - $250k, while a full Lounge & Bar can range from $500k - $750k+ (excluding GST and working capital). We provide full transparency on build costs during the enquiry process.
Unlike other major franchise networks that require you to have 40-50% upfront cash contribution, we allow you to secure your location with a starting deposit of just $50,000. We are invested in finding the right people with the right drive, not just the richest investors.
Yes. While other franchisors simply hand you off to a bank, we offer extensive, direct financial assistance and flexible terms tailored to your situation. If you have the operational drive, we will arrange a confidential meeting with the owner to discuss your customized financial pathway to get your doors open.
Like all leading franchise networks, we charge an ongoing royalty fee and a marketing fund contribution, calculated as a percentage of your gross sales. These funds are directly reinvested into state-wide marketing campaigns, product innovation, central kitchen support, and protecting the strength of the Saigon Express brand.
Each Saigon Express store operates in a different location and market, so turnover and payback periods vary. While we provide a proven business model, training, and ongoing support, the performance of your store ultimately depends on your commitment, local execution, and operating costs. We do not make representations or guarantees about future revenue; we encourage all applicants to conduct independent due diligence.
New franchise partners undergo an intensive 4 to 6-week training program at one of our flagship Hobart locations. This covers back-of-house food preparation, front-of-house customer service, point-of-sale systems, staff management, and business reporting. You will be "Saigon Express Ready" from day one.
For our defined growth areas, our corporate team manages the heavy lifting-from site negotiation and lease securing to store design and construction project management. If you are proposing your own location, we will work collaboratively with you to assess its commercial viability, secure the best lease terms, and build the store together.
To guarantee the authentic flavors that have made us famous, all core ingredients, secret marinades, and proprietary products are supplied through our central network and approved local Tasmanian suppliers. This ensures absolute consistency across all stores and leverages our group buying power to get you the best pricing.
Absolutely. Multi-unit ownership is highly encouraged for top-performing franchise partners who demonstrate strong operational capabilities and leadership. Similar to global QSR trends, many of our successful store owners will eventually choose to open a second location.
You will be backed by a marketing machine. Support includes high-end food photography, social media management, opening launch campaigns, menu design, localized digital marketing, and promotional materials. We ensure your store gets maximum visibility in your local community.
We ask all potential franchise partners to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect the confidential information we share during the franchise process. This includes details about our business model, operations, marketing strategies, financials, and supplier relationships - all the secret ingredients that make Saigon Express unique!
The NDA helps ensure that this valuable information remains secure while you explore the exciting opportunity of joining the Saigon Express family. It's a standard step in the franchising world and a clear sign that we are serious about building a strong, trusting partnership from day one.
