Impact of 25-35% commissions, dark kitchen, delivery equipment
A food cost at 45% instead of 32% destroys net margin. Classic error.
Opening without precise foot traffic study condemns the fast food to low attendance.
Uber Eats/Deliveroo take 25-35% commission. Must be built into the price.
Relying on intuition for location is one of the top causes of failure.

The average opening budget for an independent fast food is between €60,000 and €200,000. In franchise, budget €150,000 to €500,000 depending on the brand. Main items: lease rights, renovation, kitchen equipment (fryers, grills, hoods), furniture, working capital for 3-6 months.
The average ticket in fast food is between €8 and €15 depending on positioning. Burger: €9-13, tacos: €8-11, kebab: €7-10, sushi: €12-18, sandwich shop: €6-9. To be profitable, combine a decent average ticket with high volume (200-500 covers/day). Our AI calculates the optimal average ticket for your concept.
For an alcohol-free fast food, no beverage licence is required. However, you must complete mandatory HACCP training (14 hours), have a food handling declaration and comply with hygiene standards. If you serve beer or wine, a Licence III (~€500) is mandatory.
Independent: total freedom, higher margin, lower initial investment, but slower customer acquisition. Franchise: known brand, training, support, guaranteed customers, but entry fees (€15,000-50,000), royalties (5-8% of revenue), contractual constraints. Our AI compares both models on your project.
A fast food must generally serve 150 to 300 covers/day to be profitable depending on rent and charges. In city centre, aim for 250-500 covers/day. With Uber/Deliveroo delivery, expect 20-40% extra orders, but the 25-35% commission reduces net margin per delivered cover.
