What equipment is needed for a Baya Bar Shop?

According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the equipment necessary to operate a Baya Bar shop includes freezers, refrigerators, mixers, prep tables, and small wares. Additionally, franchisees will need furniture and fixtures such as tables, chairs, menu boards, and branding décor items. The estimated cost for equipment, furniture, and fixtures ranges from $28,200 to $34,300. These items are purchased from suppliers, with payment arrangements made as needed.

In addition to standard equipment, a Point of Sale (POS) system and computer equipment are required. Specifically, franchisees must purchase or lease Square POS for their point of sale system and QuickBooks Enterprise Version software for accounting. The estimated cost for the point of sale and computer equipment ranges from $1,500 to $3,500. These items are also sourced from suppliers with payment arrangements as agreed upon.

The FDD notes that franchisees may choose to lease some of the required items, which could potentially lower initial costs. However, the estimates provided assume that all items will be purchased. It is important for prospective franchisees to consider whether leasing options are available and financially beneficial for their specific circumstances. The actual costs may vary based on specific needs and chosen suppliers.
