Franchise With OFTOB

Own the
Flame

We grill chicken and red meat burgers the loud way, and we are looking for operators who want to run one in their city. You get the recipes, the buildout, and a crew that stays on your side of the counter until opening day.

What You Get

We Open It With You

Franchise support is a promise, not a manual. Here is exactly who shows up and when.

Site Search

We run the traffic and rent math with you, then negotiate the lease side by side.

Buildout Team

Layouts, grill hood spec, and a general contractor list that already knows our line.

Six-Week Academy

Hands on the grill, the register, and the schedule. Paid travel for two key staff.

Marketing Engine

Launch plan, social calendar, and local ad creative handed over before you open.

Supply Chain

Buns, brine, and the sauce blend arrive on one order. No hunting for a substitute.

Ops Partner Visits

A veteran operator walks your kitchen monthly for the first year, not just at launch.

The Path

From Call to First Shift

Nine months on average. Nothing moves until you say it does.

  1. 01

    Intro Call

    45 minutes. We cover your budget, your market, and whether we are a fit both ways.

  2. 02

    Discovery Day

    Cook on the line at an open location and meet the people who will support you.

  3. 03

    FDD Review

    We send the disclosure document and walk your attorney through it, line by line.

  4. 04

    Territory & Site

    We lock your protected market and sign the lease on a site we both cleared.

  5. 05

    Build & Train

    Construction runs while your crew is in the Academy. Two paths, same finish date.

  6. 06

    Grand Opening

    Our launch crew works the first weekend beside you, then hands over the floor.

Straight Answers

Before You Ask

Do I need restaurant experience?+

No. Most of our owners came from retail, logistics, and trades. What we do need is someone who has run a team and intends to be in the store.

How long is the agreement?+

Ten years with two five-year renewals, as long as you are in good standing and complete a refresh at each renewal.

Do you help with financing?+

We do not lend, but we introduce you to lenders who have funded our units and we review your pro forma before you sign anything.

Can I open more than one?+

Yes. Multi-unit operators get first look at new territories in their region after their first unit passes twelve months.
