starts with a total investment range of ₱1,000,000 to ₱2,000,000, requiring a ₱500,000 franchise fee. This gives operators a recognized name that attracts foot traffic right away.

If you want a more accessible entry point, CLT Cafe offers a lower investment range of ₱300,000 to ₱600,000 with a ₱150,000 franchise fee. For larger footprints, Zagu requires an investment of ₱1,000,000 to ₱2,000,000. Formats range from simple kiosks and food carts to inline stores, letting you match your capital to the physical space you secure in the city.
Location determines your success in the local beverage trade. High foot traffic areas near schools, transport terminals, and commercial strips yield the best daily sales. Smaller formats like kiosks or food carts work well in tight commercial spaces or near popular beachfront access roads. Brands such as CLT Cafe fit well in compact spots, while larger setups need dedicated inline store leasing. Evaluate your target market before signing a lease.
