Olá! Are you an aspiring restaurant owner who’s passionate about customer service in a fast-paced environment? If so, you may be a perfect candidate to join our Oporto team.
Our Pequeno (the Portuguese word for ‘small’) restaurants bring all of the spice and culture of our Portuguese roots to the Craveable Brands franchise model. They’re what happens when ‘efficiency meets flair’ and – of course – a whole lot of chicken!
Our shop front restaurants are based in busy locations that are hand-picked by the Craveable Brands property team. These experts are masters at finding areas with high foot traffic, like-minded businesses and a chicken-loving population.
There are 2 Pequeno franchises currently for sale, with many more potential locations around Australia that would be perfect for your new restaurant.
Unlike drive-thru stores, our Pequeno store fronts are all about the restaurant, so they provide a traditional, community-based feel. You can get to know your customers, enjoy a smaller staff, and focus on serving our innovative menu in a more intimate environment.
It’s all about creating a friendly atmosphere that provides your customers with an enjoyable experience, as well as great food!
The Pequeno restaurant is a testament to how we love to embrace community, whilst staying true to our humble beginnings. We always aim to maintain our essential traditions as we innovate into the future.
This way, we can focus on what creates success. After all, that’s exactly what we want all of our franchise partners to experience!
When it comes to return on investment, our Pequeno store fronts are a fantastic option. Lower start-up costs mean you can turn a profit earlier than you would with a larger restaurant.
Because we adhere to the Franchising Code of Conduct, we can’t discuss the exact figures upfront. But once you’ve filed an application and filled out a confidentiality agreement, our team members can walk you through the nuts and bolts.
Great! We always recommend seeking out independent financial advice when considering any business moves, big or small.
After you’ve taken that step, get in touch with our team and they’ll walk you through the process. We can let you know the location’s viability, as well as help with any negotiations.
And if your location isn’t suitable, don’t worry. We’ll make sure to find you one that is.
A new build costs between $400,000-$550,000 (plus GST), depending on the location and size.
Alternatively, if you want to buy an existing restaurant, the current owner will determine the sale price when you negotiate directly with them.
The first and most important thing you need is to be a people-person. If dealing well with customers and staff is not in your professional wheelhouse or passion, this business is not for you.
Beyond that, great business sense is always a plus. However, we’ll take you through a thorough training process that will give you all the skills you need to be successful.
Finally, to own a business in Australia, you need to be a permanent resident or citizen.
