FRANCHISING OUR WAY
Our approach to franchising is very simple, successful franchising is totally built upon successful franchisees. We award franchise Develop Agreements and accept locations based on quality not quantity; not all applicants, but the right applicants, not all sites, but the right sites. We believe Franchisees open restaurants because they are successful and profitable, not because they have a "quota" of restaurants to build based on a development agreement. Our leadership philosophy is based upon the belief that we should direct, not dominate the franchise system and that our Franchise Partners should have a voice and participate in that direction.
