Franchise Support
Grill Concepts provides extensive training and ongoing support for every phase of restaurant development, including our Los Angeles-based Support Center, our field-based team, and in the future via Intranet. Grill Concepts is fully committed to supporting the growth of our valued brand.
Your Grill Concepts Support Team will assist you with defining the best way to launch the Daily Grill brand in your market. Together we will complete a comprehensive brand positioning study that will act as our guide for making decisions regarding location, menu, marketing, and more. In addition, once we design the menu for your market, we’ll help guide you in setting up your market-specific supply chain. We know that our attention to your restaurant’s success is directly in line with Grill Concepts’ long term success.
Grill Concepts will support you in determining the optimum Market Development Plan.
How many restaurants and where?
What type of venues?
These are questions that are vital to building the brand successfully and achieving the economies of scale necessary to realize your profit goals.
As you would expect, Grill Concepts has strict operating procedures and brand standards. Your management team will be trained according to the Grill Concepts Restaurant Management Training Program. Your initial team will include at least four managers for each restaurant, two Front-of-House (“FOH”) and two Back-of-House (“BOH”). In addition to this training support, Grill Concepts will send a team of trainers to support the opening of your first two restaurants.
Every International Daily Grill Area Developer has a primary support person called the International Director of Operations (IDO). Once the restaurant is up and running, this highly experienced and trained restaurant professional will make regular visits to your market or region. The IDO will be your consultant on all matters regarding the Daily Grill restaurant business.
Additionally, at the Grill Concepts Support Center is a dedicated team to support our International Daily Grill Area Developer in Developmental Services, Marketing and Advertising, Purchasing, Operations, and Training.
