What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the opening inventory cost is influenced by several factors. Note 6 in Item 7 states that the franchisee's opening inventory of products and supplies will vary based on their expected volume of business, the size of the restaurant, and the size of any storage areas in the restaurant.
For a Beggars Pizza restaurant with 150 or fewer seats, the estimated opening inventory cost ranges from $5,000 to $7,500. For a restaurant with more than 150 seats, this cost is slightly higher, ranging from $5,000 to $8,000. These figures are estimates, and the actual cost may vary. The payments are arranged before opening and are made to Beggars Pizza, their affiliates, or approved suppliers.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their anticipated business volume, the restaurant's size, and storage capacity when budgeting for opening inventory. It is important to discuss these factors with Beggars Pizza and approved suppliers to get a more accurate estimate for their specific location. This will help ensure they have sufficient inventory to meet customer demand without overspending on initial supplies.
