The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, a fast-casual dining establishment offering Greek and Mediterranean dishes, was established in 2011. In 2018, the brand began franchising, opening the door for entrepreneurs to join in on the growing trend of Mediterranean cuisine.
The franchise headquarters, based in West Palm Beach, Florida, plays a crucial role in supporting franchisees and managing the brand’s expansion.
Known for its commitment to fresh ingredients, high-quality dishes, and an authentic dining experience, The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill aims to transport customers to the Mediterranean region right from their local neighborhoods.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
The franchisor offers a robust training program that equips franchisees with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully operate a franchise. The training includes:
Level 1 Training: Conducted at the franchisor's headquarters and a Certified Training Restaurant, this phase covers the basics of operating The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill franchise. It includes comprehensive instructional materials such as manuals, lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. For one person, the franchisor covers the cost of one round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, and one daily meal during the initial training period.
Certified Training Restaurants: Designated restaurants serve as Certified Training Restaurants to train managers, shift leaders, and other staff members within the system. Franchisees might need to qualify their business as a Certified Training Restaurant and maintain this certification.
Software Training: Franchisees are required to adopt and use all mandated software and related systems, complying with any subscription and support agreements stipulated by the franchisor.
Business Operations Training: Beyond initial training, the franchisor may establish System Standards for ongoing operational training. This could involve hiring individuals who have completed specific training programs at a Certified Training Restaurant.
The franchisor provides franchisees with a protected territory, ensuring that no other The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill business will be opened or licensed within this area, with exceptions for specific venues like enclosed shopping centers, universities, religious institutions, sports stadiums, amusement parks, airports, transportation centers, hospitals, military complexes, and restricted business complexes.
For franchises situated in a "limited access venue," the protected territory is limited to the venue itself. However, franchisees do not receive exclusive territory rights and may face competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands managed by the franchisor.
The franchisor retains the right to solicit or accept orders from consumers within the franchisee's territory without restrictions.
