The Restaurant’s premises typically is in an end-cap or in-line location in a shopping center. A Restaurant is approximately 1,200 to 2,50 square feet. Leasehold improvement costs, which include floor covering, wall treatment, counters, ceilings, painting, window coverings, electrical, carpentry, and similar work, and contractor’s fees, depend on the condition, location, and size of the premises; the demand for the premises among prospective lessees; whether the premises previously was used as a restaurant; the build-out required to make the premises suitable for your Restaurant; and any construction or other allowances the landlord grants. You must obtain professional architectural and engineering drawings for your Restaurant.

You may use one of our preferred architects or another architect we approve to prepare a preliminary floor plan, store design color renderings, and construction drawings. We anticipate that you will rent the premises for the Restaurant, but you may purchase the property for your Restaurant. The estimate in the table above does not include the cost of constructing the building if you purchase the property. You may also receive an allowance, credit, rebate, or rent abatement from your landlord to offset the remodeling and build-out costs you will incur to conform the Premises for the Restaurant. Your leasehold improvement costs may be offset if your landlord provides such an allowance, credit, rebate, or rent abatement.

This item estimates your initial start-up expenses (other than the items identified separately in the table). These expenses include payroll costs, but not any draw or salary for you or your owners. These figures are estimates, and it is possible you will need additional working capital during the first 3 months you operate your Restaurant and for a longer time period after that. This 3-month period is not intended, and should not be interpreted, to identify a point at which your Restaurant will break even. Your costs depend on how much you follow CPH’s methods and procedures; your management skill, experience, and business acumen; local economic conditions; the local market for your products and services; the prevailing wage rate; competition; and the sales level reached during the initial period. CPH relied on its principals’ many years of experience franchising Curry Pizza House® Restaurants to compile this Additional Funds estimate.

You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor before deciding to acquire the franchise. CPH does not offer financing directly or indirectly for any part of the initial investment. The availability and terms of financing will depend on many factors, including the availability of financing generally, your creditworthiness and collateral, and lending policies of the financial institutions from which you request a loan.
