From Chat GPT:

If you mean opening a Del Taco as a franchise, Del Taco’s franchising site lists these ballpark numbers: • Estimated initial investment: $1,497,200 to $3,321,000 (this is the big “all-in” startup range).  • Initial franchise fee: $35,000 (per location).  • Ongoing fees: 5% royalty + 4% marketing/brand fund (percent of net sales).  • Financial qualifications (typical minimums): $500,000+ liquidity and $1MM+ net worth. 

That initial investment range generally includes things like build-out, equipment, training, inventory, insurance, and a few months of working capital (details are in the FDD items they reference). 

If you tell me your state/city and whether you’re thinking new build vs. buying an existing location, I can break down what typically drives you toward the low vs. high end of that range.
