Being a Patat To Go Franchise Owner is a Hands-On Investment
Patat To Go franchisees carry forward a mission to bring bold flavor and comfort to the communities we serve, blending Dutch-style fries with vibrant Mexican-American flair.
This is more than a business opportunity — it’s a full-time, leadership-driven role. You’ll work alongside your team, often young and energetic, leading by example and shaping a culture of quality and connection. If you’re looking for a passive investment or hands-off venture, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, build something meaningful, and serve your community with passion, Patat To Go is the opportunity for you.

Questions? We Got You!
Becoming a Patat To Go franchisee is more than starting a business — it’s joining a movement. Have questions about the journey? We’ve got answers, and we’re here to help you take the first bold step.
All new franchisees join our system by opening a freshly branded Patat To Go restaurant in a pre-approved, high-traffic location — whether it’s a container setup, food court unit, or compact retail space. We provide the layout, support, and systems — you bring the passion and drive.
To begin, simply submit our Franchise Interest Form, and our team will guide you through the next steps — from qualification to launch.
We’re looking for driven, community-minded leaders who are ready to operate with purpose. Patat To Go franchisees are not passive investors — they are hands-on operators who want to build something meaningful and serve their community with pride, seven days a week.
At Patat To Go, we're focused on partnering with hands-on, committed owner-operators who are passionate about building something meaningful in their community.
We do not offer passive or multi-unit franchise opportunities. Each location is entrusted to a dedicated franchisee who is expected to be actively involved in the day-to-day operations — leading their team, delivering exceptional service, and upholding our brand values with purpose and pride.
This opportunity is for those who want to own, operate, and grow — not just invest.
Restaurant experience is preferred, but not required. What matters most is leadership, grit, and a service-first mindset. We provide training and ongoing support to set you up for success.
The initial franchise fee is $10,000, and you’ll also need working capital for staffing, inventory, and opening promotion. We handle the buildout and equipment setup — you focus on operations.
At Patat To Go, we believe in removing barriers for hardworking, hands-on entrepreneurs. That’s why our initial franchise fee is just $10,000 — because we invest in the infrastructure.
We purchase or lease the location, build out the restaurant, and equip it with everything needed to operate. As the franchisee, you don’t carry the burden of major upfront construction costs. Instead, you’ll focus on running the business, paying a manageable monthly rent and a percentage of sales.
This model allows driven operators to own their opportunity with purpose — not through capital, but through commitment, leadership, and hustle.
Yes. We offer hands-on training, operational manuals, ongoing support, and marketing resources to ensure your location performs at its best.
Once approved, and depending on location readiness, most franchisees are able to open within 60 to 90 days.
We work closely with each franchisee to select a strategic, high-traffic site. In some cases, we may already have vetted locations available.
- A fixed monthly service fee based on location size and performance
- A percentage of gross sales as a royalty
- No construction or equipment investment required upfront — we cover the setup and lease everything back to you as part of your monthly fee
