If you lease a building space or develop raw land, your build-out cost for survey, permits, site improvements, equipment, construction, training, signage, opening inventory, uniforms, etc. can range from $303,600 to $1,443,000.
What are the financial qualifications to own and operate a Wienerschnitzel restaurant?
$1 million net worth, with $300,000 in liquid assets available for Wienerschnitzel development. This net worth and liquidity requirement may be met by combining the financial worth of two or more partners. Should you seek third-party financing, it is possible to assume a bank will expect you to invest as much as 33% of your own funds toward the project, plus 100% of intangibles such as architect plans, site surveys, and permitting, to name a few.
Does Wienerschnitzel provide financing?
No. We don’t offer financing directly, but we do have relationships with third-party lenders.
How do I find a location for a new Wienerschnitzel franchise?
Once you have been awarded a franchise license from the Galardi Group, you are given a detailed site selection handbook and are responsible for securing your own real estate. You will also work closely with our real estate department to consider and review new locations, in addition to local commercial real estate brokers familiar with your geographical area.
Who builds the new Wienerschnitzel?
You are responsible for the architect, permitting, procurement, construction and build-out of your Wienerschnitzel restaurant. We provide a detailed construction procedure manual and have full-time construction department resources to help you stay on track.
What experience is required for approval to become a new Wienerschnitzel franchise partner?
Individuals with restaurant operations experience is preferred, but we will consider other professionals who have business ownership or high-level retail or management experience.
What training is provided?

The classroom and in-store, hands-on training culminates with certification testing at the conclusion of the course. Training is to be completed within 5 months prior to opening.
