Other reasons why some of our franchisee’s have chosen Eight Turn Crepe:
Three Business Models with Different Investment Options
Eight Turn Crepe is a fast-casual Japanese crepe franchise with three different business models to choose from: food truck, kiosk, and brick-and-mortar. The investment range for each model varies depending on a number of factors, such as the state in which you operate, the square footage of your space, and the condition of your space (i.e., is it a second-hand restaurant or does it need a gut renovation?).
Food Truck Model
Food trucks are a good option for franchisees who want to test the market in a new area or who want to be able to move their business to different locations or take a larger focus on catering and events.
Kiosk Model
The kiosk model is a good option for franchisees who want a more permanent location in a smaller space. Eight Turn Crepe can operate out of smaller footprints and therefore kiosks are often located in high-traffic areas such as malls, airports, and food halls.
Brick-and-Mortar Model
The brick-and-mortar model offers the most potential for growth and profitability. Brick-and-mortar restaurants can seat more customers and offer a wider range of menu items than food trucks or kiosks.
No matter which business model you choose, Eight Turn Crepe offers a proven track record of success as well as comprehensive training and support to help you succeed.

How much will this cost me?
The total cost to build a location varies anywhere from $172,000- $367,000 ALL IN. You're probably wondering why such a wide investment range. Well, this investment range varies so greatly because of several different factors. We have three different business models; a food truck, a kiosk model or a brick & mortar model. Depending on which model you decide to build, depending on factors such as what state you 're in, the square footage of the space you want to lease, what condition the space is in, all of these factors will determine where you fall within this investment range.

Don't be discouraged if you don't have this much money in liquid capital available up front. If you have a minimum of $100,000 liquid, you may be able to qualify for a loan to fund the remaining balance of your initial investment. The good news is, we are an approved SBA business which will help expedite your process if you do qualify.
How can I find out if I qualify for a loan?
We have funding specialists that we work with which we can refer you to (if you would like, or you can use your own sources if you have them). The specialists will go over what is needed and they will let you know if you qualify to be pre-approved for a loan if that is the road you plan to take.
