If you are looking for a safe investment into F&B, an ice cream / dessert franchise may offer you the benefits that the other franchises may not. There are three main reasons why you should consider investing into these sectors.

Reasonable investment and fast ROI:

• In general, the cost of doing business & franchising ice cream and desserts is much “affordable” compared to other F&B sectors such as operating a restaurant. 
• The low investment means that you can recover the investment in less than three years, which is ideal for investors during the pandemic and even for post-pandemic. 

YOLÉ, ice cream and frozen yogurt brand with no sugar added, has the payback time of less than a year and reaches a net operating margin on sales (EBITDA) of 20-30%.

Yenly Yours, a brand that specializes in mango desserts, has an average payback period of just 1-2 years.

The premises are not too large & quite flexible:

• Business premises for ice cream, yogurt or dessert products are flexible and diverse:  from ice cream trucks to kiosks or a store. The premises are not too large, can be integrated in commercial centers or buildings with high traffic volume, which helps to minimize rental costs and contributes to increased revenue.
• The area of ​​​​the premises is diverse, maybe from only 8m2, you can start a business! That also helps save more costs than restaurants.

Streamlined operations 

• Ice cream. Frozen Yogurt. Mango ice cream. These are desserts that do not require highly-skilled workers, do not require a complex kitchen, both of which help to save costs.
• On the other hand, because it is a franchise with available products and not too complicated, in general, it is easier to operate than in the restaurant industry.

Various products

• The menus of these types of franchises offer different choices: Fresh ice cream, frozen yogurt, and desserts made from fruits are very popular dishes, which can meet a variety of customer groups, even for the post-pandemic world.
• The menus are flexible, can combine main products and toppings to create a blend of flavors. That helps the businesses always bring fresh flavors to customers.
