What is the initial franchise fee for a Bonchon franchise if you commit to a development schedule of 1 to 5 businesses?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee varies based on the number of businesses you commit to developing. For a development schedule of 1 to 5 businesses, the initial franchise fee is $30,000.

Bonchon incentivizes franchisees to expand by offering a tiered fee structure. This approach is common in franchising, as it encourages multi-unit ownership and faster brand growth. The reduced initial fees for larger development commitments can significantly lower the upfront investment for franchisees looking to establish a larger presence.

It's important to note that these fees are generally non-refundable, so prospective franchisees should carefully consider their development capabilities and financial resources before committing to a specific schedule. Additionally, Bonchon may offer development incentive programs that could further reduce the initial franchise fee under certain conditions, such as entering into an Area Development Agreement by a specific date.
