FAQ — Lagos City Partner
- Is there an upfront franchise fee for Lagos?
- No. The Weekend Club is not a traditional franchise. It's a brand licensing + revenue-share model. There is no upfront fee. You pay a declining share of revenue only as you earn, starting at 30% and decreasing to 0% at Stage C.
- Do I need a restaurant or storefront in Lagos?
- No. Events are hosted at partner restaurants you recruit in Lagos. The Weekend Club provides the brand, AI guest matching, booking system, and operating playbook. You provide the local network and hosting.
- How long until I have my first paying guests?
- Most City Partners host their first table within 30–45 days of completing the quiz and discovery call. The 90-day launch plan gets you to consistent revenue within 3 months.
- Is this a side hustle or a full-time business?
- Both. Most City Partners start Stage A (2–4 tables/week) as a side hustle alongside their main job. Stage B and C operators typically transition to full-time.
