Benjie's Munch

The Benjie's Munch franchise is a quick-service restaurant (QSR) that offers burgers, grilled cheeses, sides, and more. The Texas-based QSR brand was established by Chef Benjie De Los Santos, who has been working at restaurants since he was a dishwasher at 15. The inspiration for the business came when he and his wife watched the movie, "Chef." Santos opened the first Benjie's Munch food truck in 2015, and the first brick-and-mortar location was established in 2017. Catering and gift cards add to the profitability of your business. Customers appreciate the keto and gluten-free options. Santos' mission is to make food you have grown up loving even better than how you remember it- no matter where you are from.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
