The Waffle Time figures
The listing shows a Php 50,000 franchise fee, a Php 350,000 capital investment, a 3-year term and a Php 50,000 renewal. The renewal equals the original fee, so plan for that cost every few years if you keep the cart running.[1]
Ask whether the Php 350,000 already includes the fee. With small packages, that one detail can change your total by a large share.[1]
Running a waffle cart
A waffle cart needs waffle irons, a batter station, a chiller for fillings and steady power. Ask which of these come in the package, the electrical load they need, and if the mall or lessor charges for power separately.
Ask if you must buy batter mix and fillings from the franchisor. If so, get the supply price list, the minimum order, the delivery schedule outside Metro Manila, and how long the mix keeps once opened.
Watch an existing Waffle Time cart during a busy hour. Note how many people staff it, how many irons run at once, and where stock is kept. That helps you judge if your site has the space and foot traffic the cart needs.
Permits and other brands
Your cart needs a barangay clearance and mayor's permit for its spot, a sanitary permit and health certificates, plus BIR registration. Our food cart business kit lists them. See also food cart franchises; Famous Belgian Waffles has its own cost page.
