Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar Franchise Investment Pitch Deck 2026

Why now, and what local need does this unit fill?

The local market lacks a premium, family-friendly destination that combines high-tech sports viewing with scratch-made culinary standards. With 50,000 daytime professionals nearby, there is an immediate gap for a sophisticated lunch option and a high-energy corporate happy hour venue that offers more than just basic pub food.

Market Opportunity

• High demand for premium sports viewing
• Lack of scratch-made Louisiana-inspired dining
• Significant corporate workforce needing lunch options

What is the solution and its edge?

This unit offers 'Bistreaux' level hospitality, which is a significant step up from standard casual dining. By combining an immersive audiovisual suite with a fine-dining service model, we provide a superior guest experience that justifies a higher average ticket and drives repeat traffic through 'The Walk-On Way' training standards.

Competitive Edge

• Immersive audiovisual game-day experience
• Fine-dining service standards in casual setting
• Proprietary scratch-made Louisiana recipes

Who is the target and the market size?

The primary segments include affluent residential families and the massive local corporate workforce within a five-mile radius. We are targeting a Year 1 revenue of $2,263,000, scaling to over $4,539,000 by Year 5 as we capture the local sports fan and event hosting market through regional density.

Market Metrics

• 50,000 daytime professionals within 5 miles
• $2.26M Year 1 projected revenue
• $4.5M Year 5 revenue potential

How does this unit generate profit?

Revenue is diversified across four main streams: food sales, beverages, power lunches, and event packages. Here is the quick math: with food sales starting at $950,000 and beverage sales at $400,000, we maintain a strong margin by keeping food ingredients at 12.5% or less of sales while leveraging high-volume event packages.

Revenue Streams

• High-volume food and beverage sales
• Weekday Power Lunch corporate targeting
• 12.5% target food ingredient cost

Who are the competitors and the moat?

Main competitors include traditional casual dining chains and local independent sports bars. Our defensible edge is the high-level service model and our expansive outdoor patio, which provides a unique atmosphere that competitors defintely cannot easily replicate without significant capital reinvestment and brand restructuring.

Defensible Moat

• Proprietary service training and standards
• Expansive, high-amenity outdoor patio space
• Strategic proximity to corporate parks

What funding is needed and what are the goals?

We require capital to cover the $60,000 franchise fee and $1,200,000 in leasehold improvements. Reaching breakeven within 4 months (by April 2026) is the primary milestone, followed by achieving a 3.8% return on equity as the unit matures and scales toward a $1.9M annual EBITDA by Year 5.

Use of Funds

• $1.2M for leasehold improvements
• $450,000 for kitchen equipment
• Breakeven target within 4 months
