FRANCHISE WITH US

Miami Grill knows how important it is to provide our prospective and existing franchisees with the necessary resources to create the top fast-casual franchise opportunity in the state of Florida. In a traditional business model and with other franchisors, access to these valuable resources is limited. By partnering with a decorated and reputable legacy brand like Miami Grill, future owners and franchisees in our system have full access to necessary resources like FAQs, training, real estate location selection services, marketing, business practices, and more, all helping them to take full advantage of our top fast-casual franchise opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most of the interested franchisees who reach out to us about opening new Miami Grill locations have similar questions about the franchising process and why partnering with us is their best option. Take a look at these questions and our answers to each below.

How soon can I open, and how long does the process take?

It can take four months or more from beginning the process to opening your first unit.

What do you look for in a franchisee to open a Miami Grill?

We have found that our most successful franchisees often have a strong passion for the Miami Grill brand and are just as motivated as we are to make their locations a success.

From a financial perspective we require that investors have $250,000 in liquid assets, which includes anything besides home equity that can be converted to cash within 30 days. We also require that they have a net worth of $700,000 and a strong credit history.

How do you help in the site selection process?

We provide a full-service start-to-finish Site Selection process, leading with analytics.

What technologies do you offer to support training and growth?

We have partnered with Wisetail LMS (learning management system), a digital learning platform, as well as QSRonline which is a software that helps maintain and control inventory and additionally offers a labor scheduling feature. These technologies help manage your two biggest expenses in the restaurant business.

Features for Wisetail LMS include:

- Fully online, digital training for all levels from entry to management
Training consists of conversations, Gifs, videos, and exams
- You can use the platform from your smartphone, tablet, or PC

What is the process of becoming an area developer?

An Area Developer pays a predetermined territory fee to secure protected development rights to a specific geographic area. The Area Developer and Miami Grill will agree upon the number of units to be developed within the territory and a timetable for opening them.

How many employees does it take to operate a single Miami Grill unit?

Expect to employ between 20 and 25 full- and part-time staff members.

What marketing support will I receive going forward?

Your Miami Grill team will assist you in creating the best local-market opening plan for your restaurant and will work toward "pre-seeding" your market ahead of opening. We believe in community involvement and are committed to giving back to each neighborhood we serve. Miami Grill will help you make lasting impressions with civic groups, schools, and businesses to set you on the path to success. Support for your location will be provided on an ongoing basis.

What opportunities are available?

We have territories available throughout the United States and worldwide! Many great regions for multi-unit owners are available. We offer exclusive territories with a 3-5 restaurant deal. We are also seeking Area Developers to assist us in growing larger territories.

What are the next steps?

A franchise is all about relationships. This is a long-term commitment. We will start to explore if we are suited for each other. It’s a mutual due diligence process that allows us to discover whether we are right for you and you are right for us.

It starts with you filling out our initial application and our Non-Disclosure agreement. This allows us to share some proprietary information with you about Miami Grill®, which does not obligate you or us in any way.

We will then set up a time for further discussion to answer any questions you may have.
