4 Most Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to invest in Tasty Equity?

It costs $5 per ownership unit, with a minimum investment of $100 for 20 units. 

2. What do I get for my investment?

For every $5 you invest you get one "unit" of ownership in our company, which owns parts of four existing restaurants. A unit is just like a share of stock and is a percentage of the total ownership of our company. For the minimum investment of $100, you get 20 units of ownership. The more you invest the more units you get. In addition to the units and becoming a real restaurant owner of our four existing restaurants, you will own part of every new restaurant we open in the future. On top of that, you get "perks" for being an owner, and there are different levels of perks depending on how much you invest.

3. How do I get a return on my investment?

You are investing at an early stage in our company and our restaurants. Like early stage investments made by venture capitalists, investment banks and private equity firms, you are investing now to hold on to your equity for the foreseeable future while we grow the company. You are investing with the hope that as we grow the company, your investment becomes worth more as the company gets bigger, and as we open more restaurants. We plan to reinvest any profits to help the company grow, and we do not have any plans to pay a dividend to anyone during that time—but it is possible we may do so in the future.  Our goal is to help Hot Heads Burritos and Rapid Fired Pizza to get to 200 total stores (they are more than half way there) at which point we believe they will be a target to be acquired by a bigger company. If that happens, all of Tasty Equity's shares in their restaurants would be sold to that acquiring company. At that time, you would get paid a return on your investment. In the meantime, you can sell your units, but you'll have to find a purchaser as our units will not be listed on any exchange (there is no open marketplace for your units).  But you can still enjoy the benefits of being an investor through discounts and perks you get while we grow the business.

4. Why does Tasty Equity need my personal information when I invest?

We're required by the SEC to collect information that may seem excessive to your experience with other online forms. As an investor, your protection and SEC-compliance is of high importance to Tasty Equity.

Here’s what we need:

1. Your date of birth and social security number or other national ID number

2. Your income and net worth

3. Your driver’s license or other official government ID
