Regional Sub-Franchise Structure

The Links Golf Cafe Regional Sub-Franchise™ model is intentionally designed as:

a true strategic partnership.

Rather than operating as a traditional top-heavy franchise structure, our objective is to create:

aligned regional growth partnerships.

The philosophy is simple:

We split the work.

We split the revenue.

Regional Sub-Franchisors focus primarily on:

- regional growth;

- Area Developer recruitment;

- relationship development;

- local market leadership; &

- supporting Area Developers within their region.

Meanwhile, Team Headquarters (THQ) focuses on:

- national systems;

- training and certification;

- operational infrastructure;

- technology systems;

- AI operating systems;

- marketing systems;

- onboarding support; &

- long-term franchise system development.

This creates:

a layered support ecosystem

where:

- Regional Sub-Franchisors provide local and regional leadership;

- THQ provides centralized systems and infrastructure; &

- Area Developers receive support from both levels.

Revenue Participation Structure

The Regional Sub-Franchise™ model is also intentionally structured around:

aligned economic incentives.

Regional Sub-Franchisors participate in:

Area Development Fees;

Franchise Fees; &

System Rental Fees™
(what some franchise systems refer to as royalties)

on a:

50 / 50 partnership basis

with Team Headquarters.

The objective is to create:

long-term alignment and shared regional growth.

Built To Scale Together

This structure allows Regional Sub-Franchisors to focus on:

- building relationships;

- growing the regional ecosystem;

- supporting Area Developers; &

- helping scale the brand regionally

while leveraging:

the centralized systems, infrastructure, technology, and operational support provided by THQ.

The result is:

a collaborative regional growth model

designed around:

partnership;

scalability;

leadership; &

long-term ecosystem expansion.

Regional Sub-Franchise Investment

The current Regional Sub-Franchise investment is:

$125,000

prior to the opening of the first Links Golf Cafe location planned for spring of 2027.

Once the first location opens, the Regional Sub-Franchise investment increases to:

$250,000

This structure is intentionally designed to reward early strategic partners.

Explore The Opportunity

If you believe the Pacific Region may be a fit for your goals and experience, the next step is to schedule a confidential discovery call to explore:

- regional availability;

- growth opportunities; &

- long-term expansion vision.

Why consider a franchise instead of building it on your own?

The advantage comes down to three key factors: proven systems, strategic buying power, and marketing designed to drive results.

At Links Golf Cafe™, this is amplified by our AI Revenue Operating System and eight integrated revenue streams - working together to simplify operations, increase efficiency, and maximize performance across every location.
