The Subway franchise fee is USD 10,000 and the capital investment is Php 13M-15M, as listed in the Philippine Franchise Association directory. The term of agreement is 20 years, with a 20-year renewal. Subway Philippines is named as the franchisor.[1]
A long term and a dollar fee
Subway's listed term is 20 years, with a renewal of another 20 years. A long term gives you time to recover the Php 13M-15M investment, but it also locks you into monthly fees and supply terms for two decades. Read those terms closely.[1]
The fee is quoted as USD 10,000. We do not convert it, since the peso amount depends on the rate when you pay. Ask which rate applies.[1]
What to pin down
The listing does not show a royalty or an advertising fee. Ask for both as percentages, how they are computed, and whether they are paid in pesos or dollars.[1]
Sandwich shops are compact compared with a fried chicken or burger kitchen, but they still need refrigeration, a bread oven and a food prep line. Ask what equipment is in the investment, who supplies bread dough and fillings, and how deliveries work outside Metro Manila.
Ask too what the agreement says about remodeling. Over a term that long, a franchisor may require a store refresh or new equipment partway through, and you want to know who pays for it and when.
Permits and other quick-service brands
You need a sanitary permit and health certificates as well as the usual mayor's permit and BIR registration. See the restaurant business kit, and compare under restaurant franchises.
