Established in 2006 in Southern California, WaBa Grill was founded on the principle that healthy food made with quality fresh ingredients should be accessible to all. The company is headquartered in Anaheim Hills, California.
WaBa Grill began franchising in 2008, expanding its presence throughout California and neighboring states. The franchise offers a menu centered around rice bowls, plates, and salads, featuring proteins such as fresh, never frozen chicken, marinated ribeye steak, wild-caught salmon, jumbo shrimp, and organic tofu.
All items are prepared to order on an open-fire grill, emphasizing a commitment to healthy, low-calorie, low-carb, and high-protein options.
What sets WaBa Grill apart from competitors is its dedication to serving nutritious meals without compromising on flavor or speed. By avoiding microwaves, fryers, and artificial additives, and by cooking without oil, WaBa Grill ensures that customers enjoy fresh and wholesome meals served at "on the go" speed.
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.
Waba Grill provides a comprehensive training program to its franchisees to ensure operational success.
The training includes a two-week program at the franchisor's headquarters, covering core aspects of the business such as operational procedures, food preparation, customer service, and inventory management.
Additionally, on-site training at the franchisee’s location is provided for further hands-on learning and support. This combination equips franchisees with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to run a Waba Grill restaurant efficiently.
Waba Grill provides territory protection to its franchisees as part of its franchise agreement. This protection ensures that each franchisee operates within an exclusive or defined geographic area, preventing other Waba Grill franchises from being established within the protected zone.
The goal is to help franchisees maximize market potential and minimize competition within their assigned territory.
The exact details of territory protection, such as the size and boundaries of the territory, are typically based on factors like population density and market demand. Waba Grill outlines these terms clearly in the franchise agreement, ensuring transparency and fairness.
