At Kajiken, we believe in full transparency when it comes to starting a restaurant franchise in New Zealand. Every partner receives a clear breakdown of startup and ongoing costs, so you know exactly what to expect from the beginning.
Franchise Fee: NZD 60,000 – this one-off restaurant franchise fee grants you the rights to operate under the Kajiken brand, use our authentic recipes, and access our proven operating systems.
Store Setup: Typically NZD 200,000–300,000, depending on store size (we recommend between 70–100 sqm) and location. This covers store design, equipment purchase, and complete fit-out.
Training Fee: NZD 21,000 for a 3-week intensive programme, including both kitchen operations and management training.
Ongoing Fees: 6% royalty and 2% national marketing contribution, ensuring continuous brand growth and nationwide visibility.
With Kajiken’s established reputation, centralised supply chain, and global success as one of the best ramen franchise opportunities, our franchisees benefit from a clear and predictable ramen franchise cost structure, strong ROI (return on investment), and long-term scalability in the New Zealand market.
