Owning a franchise is an exciting way to step into entrepreneurship, but it's essential to know what’s required to get started. WingsUp! sets clear financial and personal requirements to help franchisees thrive in the competitive food franchise industry.
Financial Requirements for WingsUp! Franchisees
Investing in a WingsUp! franchise involves meeting specific financial benchmarks. Here’s what you need to know:
Liquid Funds
One of the primary requirements is having $150,000–$250,000 in unencumbered funds. These liquid assets ensure franchisees can cover the upfront costs of opening and operating a WingsUp! location without financial strain. This includes franchise fees, equipment, initial inventory, and lease deposits.
Additional Costs to Consider
Beyond liquid funds, potential franchisees should also budget for ongoing expenses, such as:
- Monthly royalties and marketing fees
- Employee wages
- Maintenance and operational costs
Preparing for these costs ensures long-term success and sustainability in the franchise business.

WingsUp! is more than a business—it’s a brand rooted in the community. Franchise partners who are actively involved in their communities often see greater success.
