Let's use as an example the traditional store model of a franchise that also offers the pocket format, more focused on delivery.
The investment, which includes working capital, facilities and franchise fee, amounts to approximately 350,000 reais.
The return on investment is estimated between 24 and 36 months, with an average revenue of 150 thousand reais.
Considering the unit value of 40 reais divided by the average revenue, we expect to sell 3,750 units per month.
Let's imagine that the return on investment occurs over the longest period, in 36 months, we have a monthly return of 9,722 reais, a margin of 6.48%.
The question now is, how do you find regions where it is possible to sell 3,750 units per month?
Let's imagine the following consumer scenario, 10% of people in a region buying once a month.
How many people need to reside in the catchment area for sales expectations to be realistic?
3,750 x 10 = 37,500 people
But what would be the profile of the target audience?
40 reais are equivalent to 3% of the minimum wage in 2024. If the order is for three people, we would have almost 10% of the minimum wage in just one meal.
It is likely that the target profile consists of small families, with one to two people and an income above 5 minimum wages, that is, starting from class B.
