a Franchise Opportunity

Not just your average neighborhood 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 Demand

Recognizing the market demand for quality, reasonably-priced food and superior service delivered with a touch of sophistication, California Grill is confident that their proven business model will be a popular and profitable addition to the competitive franchise landscape.

Nothing brings people together – or customers to your door – like good food.

Almost every community has their share of restaurants, but the truly successful ones become neighborhood institutions. California Grill has several distinct qualities that set us apart from the competition, making a franchise a solid investment. 

Strong ROI and additional revenue streams

 Capitalizing on both traditional and recent trends in restaurant revenue generation, California Grill offers not only takeout and in-person dining, but also catering services, ghost kitchen selections, and chef-quality meal kits for busy families.

Brand-in-a-Box

Via consistent use of marketing collateral, the California Grill brand is easily recognizable within its market, and known for offering gourmet breakfast items, burgers, decadent desserts and unique sides, made with the freshest ingredients and sold at competitive prices. The proven strength of this operating model will allow for similar duplication in new markets.

Local business anchor

More than just a place to eat, the California Grill flagship location is a community anchor. By providing reliable service and consistent quality along with participation in numerous local charities and events, our business model encourages both high visibility and customer loyalty. 

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.
