L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Franchise Model Overview
L & L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurants are quick-service counters serving Hawaiian-style plate lunches: barbecued meats, chicken katsu, kalua-style pork, spam musubi, rice and macaroni salad. Most units are 750 to 1,500 square feet in leased retail centers, with some on campuses, military bases and other captive sites, and only one drive-thru among the reporting stores. The investment is a moderate leased build-out that scales with the condition of the space. Royalty and brand fund rates are lowest in Hawaii and highest east of Texas, so the same store pays different fees depending on location. An Operating Principal holding at least 25% must complete training and is expected to supervise full time, though a qualified manager can be approved. The franchisor operates no stores itself; the eight company-owned units are owned by insiders. The system has been roughly flat for three years at about 228 units, with 26 signed but unopened agreements. Item 19 discloses historic gross sales.
