Roll’d franchise: costs, fees and what to check before you buy

Key takeaways

  • Roll’d says a store costs between $450,000 and $650,000 + GST depending on location, size and design.
  • Listings show a 7% royalty and a 3% marketing fee on gross sales.
  • Roll’d suggests a cash contribution of 35% to 50% of the total investment, and single-store partners are expected to work full time in the business.

Roll’d opened its first store in Melbourne in 2012, serving Vietnamese food inspired by founder Bao Hoang’s family recipes. It has since opened more than 150 stores across Australia and overseas and describes itself as the world’s largest Vietnamese quick-service brand.

The turnkey price includes site selection, lease negotiation, store build and a training program, so the published range is close to the full cost of opening.

How the Roll’d model works financially

Roll’d menus rely on fresh preparation of rolls, banh mi and pho, so the kitchen has more prep work than an assemble-only concept. Labour and fresh ingredient costs need close attention, along with the mix between dine-in, takeaway and delivery.

The investment covers a fully operating store, but you still need working capital. With 35% to 50% of the cost expected in cash, check how much you’ll borrow and what repayments the store can support from forecast cash flow.

The numbers to test before you buy a Roll’d franchise

  • What the turnkey price includes and excludes, such as working capital, bank guarantees and opening stock.
  • Ingredient cost, prep labour and wastage as a share of sales.
  • Delivery platform share of sales and commission.
  • Rent and outgoings against forecast sales, and the lease term.
  • Loan repayments against forecast cash flow.
  • The definition of gross sales for royalty and marketing fees.

Buying an existing Roll’d store

Roll’d also lists existing stores and lease renewal opportunities. For a resale, reconcile the seller’s profit to BAS and bank records, check the remaining lease and franchise terms and confirm whether a refit is required at renewal.

How Franchise Co. can help with a Roll’d purchase

We work with buyers and owners of franchise businesses across Australia. For a Roll’d store we can:

  • Review the numbers before you sign. Our business due diligence starts from $2,000 + GST and tests the turnkey price, funding, labour and sales forecast against the disclosure document.
  • Set up the structure and the books. Entity choice, GST, payroll and a chart of accounts that separates dine-in, takeaway and delivery sales. See accounting and tax and bookkeeping, BAS and payroll.
  • Check your franchise fees. We reconcile royalty and marketing fees to the sales they’re calculated on. See royalties and franchise fees.
  • Plan the next store. If a second site is on the cards, we model the cash flow and funding first. See multi-site reporting.
