Use our free tool to search multiple ZIP codes and find franchises where you can still stack locations, before someone else does.The benefits to franchisees who get in on the ground floor of this small franchise are multiple, Arreola said, including an initial investment cost that could be as much as 50 percent less than some other fast casual franchise opportunities. According to the Teriyaki Madness Franchise Disclosure Document, the total investment necessary to begin operation of a franchise is between $225,573 and $358,713.
“Looking from a return-on-investment perspective, our ROI is very good,” Arreola said. “I’m assuming things are going to go up as we grow,” he added, referring to costs such as the franchise fee.
Plus, the small size of the current franchise operation and the motivation to see the brand take off push the corporate team to give its undiverted attention to those who sign agreements early on, Arreola said.
“From a relationship standpoint, they’re going to get a lot of attention from corporate. We’re really counting on the first franchisees to be successful, so we’re going to do everything in our power to see that they’re successful.”

The ideal candidate, according to Arreola, 38, would be between 30 and 48 years old, with some college education and an entrepreneurial spirit. Prior restaurant experience is not necessarily a prerequisite for success. Because of the grilling concept, Teriyaki Madness tends to attract more males, he added.
