What the Investment Covers

Here's a general overview of the investment categories. All specific figures are disclosed in the FDD.

01

Initial Franchise Fee

A one-time fee paid at signing that grants the right to operate under the NOODBOX® brand and system. Specific amounts are disclosed in the FDD.

02

Equipment & Machine Costs

The primary capital investment involves the NOODBOX® vending unit(s). Costs vary based on the number of machines and configuration. Details are provided in the FDD.

03

Initial Inventory

Franchisees will need to stock their machines with initial inventory. Instant ramen products are widely available and shelf-stable, keeping inventory costs manageable.

04

Ongoing Royalties

Franchisees pay ongoing royalties as a percentage of gross sales. Specific royalty rates are disclosed in the FDD.

05

Location / Placement Fees

Depending on the venue, franchisees may pay a percentage of revenue or a flat fee to the location host. Terms vary by site and are negotiated independently.

06

Working Capital

Franchisees should have sufficient working capital to cover operating expenses during the initial ramp-up period. Recommended amounts are detailed in the FDD.

Why Vending Can Mean Lower Overhead

Compared to a traditional food franchise, the vending model removes several major cost categories.

No commercial kitchen buildout or equipment — built-in hot water dispenser included
No front-of-house or kitchen staff required
Compact footprint reduces space costs
Shelf-stable inventory is simple to manage
Self-service model reduces daily operational complexity
