Bulk discounts and streamlined ordering
California Grill’s internal purchasing system allows for the negotiation of quantity discounts on behalf of all its members, saving franchisees both money and time.
Not just your average neighbourhood grill.
Family-owned and operated, California Grill was founded in 1996 and has evolved into a highly successful modern family restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Priding itself on serving both traditional and unique dishes using only the freshest ingredients in a warm, light-filled atmosphere. California Grill has taken the upscale fast-casual restaurant model to another level. Recognizing the market demand for quality, reasonably-priced food and superior service delivered with a touch of sophistication, California Grill is confident that its proven business model will be a popular and profitable addition to the competitive franchise landscape.
The ideal California Grill franchisee comes from an entrepreneurial or restaurant background. The number one quality necessary for success is a dedication to customer satisfaction and relationship-building and a high level of competence in marketing and sales. Beyond that, potential franchisees should also possess these characteristics:
Good organizational skills
A restaurant has many moving parts, so staying on point with P&Ls, inventory, ordering, scheduling and staff management means that a franchisee must be able to multitask.
Management abilities
Fast-paced working environments like California Grill require well-honed problem-solving and decision-making skills. A franchisee should have prior business ownership experience if they intend on being the owner/operator.
High personal standards
California Grill’s reputation has been built on delivering quality products and exceptional service in a fun, welcoming environment. The continued success of the brand image requires franchisees to show the same degree of integrity and commitment to the customer experience.
