Liquid assets are one of the key indicators of whether or not a prospective licensee is capable of financing a full-size Benihana restaurant. We recommend liquid assets of at least $800,000 per unit as a basis for pursuing in-depth feasibility discussions. Based upon our most recent openings, the minimum initial investment to open a typical freestanding domestic Benihana restaurant, excluding real property is $3.0 million. A substantial portion of this cost can normally be financed through traditional sources, depending on the licensee’s financial soundness. However, Benihana does not provide any financing to its licensees, nor will it guarantee any note, lease or other documents executed by licensee.
The total required investment in a Benihana restaurant also varies, depending on the licensee’s real estate arrangement (lease or purchase). Benihana has no financial involvement in the real estate, but provides experienced counseling in site selection/development and reserves the right to approve all proposed locations. The actual selection, purchase or leasing of the site is the licensee’s responsibility.
Typical costs for a Benihana restaurant license fee
The initial fee per license issued is $40,000 per Domestic Franchise. The fee structure in South/Central America (excluding Mexico) or the Caribbean will depend on the country.
The initial fee covers the issuance of the license, as well as helping to defray the costs and expenses of Benihana in connection with our assistance and supervision in site selection, construction and improvements, opening of the restaurant, training, enforcement and protection of trademarks and costs incidental to locating sources of supply.

It’s easy to grin
When your ship comes in
And you’ve got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile,
Is the man who can smile,
When his shorts are too tight in the seat.
This whole thing about ‘flipping,’ they call it … they get 10 years in jail and they flip on whoever the next highest one is, or as high as you can go. It almost ought to be outlawed—it’s not fair. … It’s called flipping and it ought to almost be illegal.
You’re making the pussy into this great big Greek goddess named ‘Pussalia’ and what you’re doing is that you’re psyching yourself into to thinking that it’s some impossible feat.
