Barista offers two distinct franchising models to suit different business preferences:
1. FIFO Model – Franchise Invested, Franchise Operated
In this model, the franchisee is responsible for both the initial investment in the outlet and the day-to-day operations. This includes procurement, maintenance, staff management, utility bill payments, and recruitment. Active daily involvement from the franchisee is required. This model is an excellent opportunity for those with experience in the food and beverage sector, offering both an investment avenue and a comprehensive long-term business strategy.
2. FICO Model – Franchise Invested, Company Operated
With the FICO model, the franchisee handles the initial investment, while Barista manages the day-to-day operational responsibilities. These include procurement, training, maintenance, staff management, utility bill settlements, and recruitment. This model is ideally suited for busy professionals or business owners with limited time for direct operational involvement.
An investment ranging from LKR 25-30 million is required for outlet development. This budget is typically divided equally, with 50% allocated for the procurement of equipment, machinery, and IT systems, and the remaining 50% allocated for the design and construction of the outlet. Additionally, Barista will contribute approximately LKR 1.5 million towards the branding and marketing of the outlet.
An investment of LKR 20-25million is required for the outlet development. This budget will be divided into a 50% allocation for purchasing equipment, machinery, and IT systems and a 50% allocation for designing and developing the outlet. Barista will also contribute close to LKR 1.5 million for branding the outlet.
All of our franchise outlets are consistently achieving double-digit net profit margins and a payback period of under 25 months.
