FAQ:
- Q: How long does it take to bake the products offered?
  A: Hi Michael, Depending of the products, it will take from 30 seconds to 3 min. For croissant, it is merely reheating so it will take 30s For a pizza it will take between 2 min and 3 min depending on the thickness and the ingredients. The machine scans the label and based on bar code, it adjusts the temperature and baking time between infrared and microwave. Customers can also take back home and have the item delivered right away (Cold option) Let me know if you have any other questions Benoit
- Q: Do you plan to offer franchise?
  A: Yes we do. It will be similar to a franchise but called a business opportunity (less paperwork, regulation and more flexibility than Franchise). We plan to start this early 2020. This is also very attractive for foreigners who want to come to the USA and apply for a E2 visa The investment amount in the sweet spot for E2, no specific prior expertise required, good cash flow and good growth potential.
- Q: Where could I buy from one of your machines in California?
  A: We have one of the baguette machines in demo in a mall in Stonestown Galleria, south of San Francisco. So you could go there to try the French baguette. The new multi-products Bake Xpress (Pizza/pastry) is not yet in public location. If for investment purpose you want to see it and taste the products, we have one machine in operation in a development kitchen also in south San-Francisco. By appointment only. 
- Q: Will there be any distributions or dividends for investing?
  A: Hi, yes very good question. We plan to have distribution of dividends. The intent is, when the company is profitable, to allocate 50% of the net profit, and to redistribute to shareholders. This is pretty unique in the tech start-up world. And it will allow shareholders to start generating income without having to wait years for an exit. This can be significant with double digits % of return per year.
- Q: Robert Seeber What does a machine cost?
  A: Our micro-bakery is very cost competitive. Unit price is in the $35k range Our machine is unique as it does more than just pizza. The closest competitors would be Pizza only vending machine. Some public price reference from Google : " The Pizza vending machine costs $55,000 and offers an exceptional 1-year average return on investment (ROI). Nov 18, 2016I would think more recent machine would range in the $40k - $45k today
