Wok franchise costs: what do you actually pay? (2026)

The one-time franchise fee: €40,000

With The Wok Franchise, you pay €40,000 once. After that, nothing. No royalties, no monthly fees, no marketing fund you're forced to contribute to.

That €40,000 covers everything: the concept, 10 secret sauces, a complete equipment list, marketing materials, website and POS system, supplier network, one week of on-site training, and 12 months of personal support.

Monthly costs: the full picture

What do you keep?

Based on our live locations, here's what a realistic monthly picture looks like at a daily turnover of €1,500:

Payback period: 2–4 months

At a net profit of around €22,000 per month, you recover the €40,000 franchise fee in under two months. In a more conservative scenario — lower volume, higher rent — expect 4–6 months.

For comparison: concepts like Eazie require €150,000–€450,000 to get started, plus 5–8% in ongoing royalties. Payback periods there run 2–5 years.

What about fitting out the premises?

The €40,000 franchise fee covers the concept — not the fit-out of your unit. Budget separately for:

• ✓Rental deposit: 1–3 months rent
• ✓Basic fit-out & equipment: €5,000–€15,000 (depending on condition of premises)
• ✓Permits & connections: €500–€2,000

Total start-up investment (including franchise fee, fit-out and first month's rent): €50,000–€60,000.

The bigger picture

A wok franchise sits at the lower end of the food franchise market — particularly when you look at the ratio of entry cost to profit potential. No royalties, no hidden fees, and a payback period that in most cases stays well under six months.
