If I don’t meet the guidelines above, how can I qualify? One way to potentially qualify is to consider a business partner; many of our franchisees are entities of two or more partners who together meet the qualifications. Can I have (a) partner(s)? Yes. They must meet all minimum qualifications and will be required to complete and submit an application. Will I have a protective territory? You will be granted a limited protected territory, exclusive of non-traditional outlets (such as hospitals, airports, etc.), for the term of the development agreement that will be delineated by streets, highways, zip codes, or natural or political boundaries that represent the selected location’s primary trade area. Do I have to work in my restaurant? Pollo Campero franchisees are expected to be actively involved in the operations of their restaurant(s), however, this does not mean you need to be the on-site manager. Many of our franchisees personally manage their first restaurant and then work into a higher level management role as they open additional locations. How much training is provided in the Pollo Campero system?

In addition, throughout the franchise term, we will provide operational assistance and guidance in various aspects of your Pollo Campero Restaurant. We will also loan you a copy of the Pollo Campero Operations Manual containing specification, standards and procedures. How much money can I make? The Federal Trade Commission has specific regulations that restrict any franchisor from projecting potential revenues for any franchisee. Your profit will be based on many variables including location, your ability to control operating costs, financing, occupancy costs and sales margins. We strongly encourage you to contact our existing franchisees during your due diligence period. A list of all franchisees is provided in our FDD. How do I get a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)?
