Is Wok To Walk for you?
Wok To Walk is a fantastic opportunity for the right entrepreneur in the right location. Here's some background to help decide if you're a match.
Franchise term
The Wok To Walk franchise agreement is for a period of 10 years, renewable for an additional five years.
Training
We require that all franchisees take part in a four-week training program in Amsterdam, with both theoretical instruction and hands-on training.
The ideal candidate
Restaurant experience is not required. What we do look for in franchisees is strong leadership, a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. We recommend that at least one owner - or a designated manager - be involved on a full-time basis managing day-to-day operations.
The ideal location
Choosing the right location is essential to your success. The neighborhood you look for should be a busy trading area, where people are looking for a good, quick meal. It should also be multi-purpose (work and play) so it can support multiple rushes (lunch, dinner, late night).
Wok To Walk is targeted at the 18-35 age bracket. University campuses, downtown areas and office complexes with young professionals are all potential locations. We're also popular with the late-night crowd, so locations near bars, clubs, cinemas and stadiums are all recommended.
The venue you choose requires the following:
- Visibility: high, preferably a street corner
- Dining area: 20-40m2
- Kitchen: 10-20m2
- Storage: 8-15m2
- Seating capacity: 10-40
- Exhaust hood system
- 1.25" gas line
- All necessary licenses and authorizations, including signage. Outdoor signs must be clearly visible at a distance of 25 meters.
