Frequently Asked Questions
Is Taste Buds Kitchen growing or shrinking?
Taste Buds Kitchen doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #20 of 72 Education & Training brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Taste Buds Kitchen franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $357K (130% above the typical Education & Training brand's $156K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Taste Buds Kitchen?
Taste Buds Kitchen only has 9 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Education & Training brands overall see a 2.6% charge-off rate across 731 loans.
