Joey's Fish Shack & strEATS

Joey’s Franchising Group operates passionate brands like Joey’s Fish Shack, strEATS, Joey’s Seafood Restaurants and more for well over 35 years.

Furthermore, Joey’s Franchising Group has great buying power which means lower food costs for our franchise partners.

We believe the next generation does not want to sit inside a typical Quick Service Restaurant (QSR). They want to go to their local spot that feels personable which is why it’s our goal to create franchises that curate & offer a sense of belonging.

We offer:

• • 200 Years of Combined Contemporary Restaurant Experience
  • 150+ Restaurants Opened
  • 35+ Years in Business

Dual Concept Franchise Advantages

Less Staff – Our dual concept requires fewer employees because of our unique operations, menu and facility design meaning more cost savings.

Lower Franchise Fees – Considerably less than many other concepts, especially with two brands.

Good Locations – We fill a market niche with little competition and provide developers and landlords with an exciting option compared to “ordinary” concepts in the market today. We also actively assist in handling negotiations and real estate hunting for you.

Unique – Mid-priced, high-quality neighborhoods, fast and casual with few competitors nationally.

Longevity – Because we’ve been around for over 35 years, there is a proven history and this provides less risk to you.

We Make Life Easy!

We know the process of store ownership can be tedious and tough which is why we aim to make the process as easy as possible!

Our prospective Franchise Partners have to do as little to no work as possible during the build other than to simply sign off, get the keys and start selling!

Below are things we handle during the building process:

• Pulling permits
• Architectural drawings
• Finding advantageous locations
• Negotiating lease
• Offer to lease
• Handling quotes from general contractors
• Interacting & managing general contractors
• Check ups on the store throughout construction
• Ordering of equipment
• Training for staff & franchise partners

Training

We believe training is the most important investment of the time that a new franchise partner can make. In order to get you ready for ownership, before your Joey’s Fish Shack / strEATS franchise is ready to open, we provide you with a 4-week training program that gets you fully ready for the following:

• • Day-to-Day Operations
  • Back-End Management
  • Labor Cost Analysis
  • Fixed Expenses
  • Budgets
  • Projections
  • Cash Procedures
  • Accounting
  • Scheduling
  • Hiring, Interviews
  • How to Cook
  • Food Sanitation
  • Food Ordering
  • Stock Management
  • People Management
  • Recipes

Taught by seasoned experts, the training features hands-on practical guidance. Our classroom sessions complement your “on-the-job” education and you will receive accounting, marketing and operations materials to assist you through the process. This is to ensure your opening is a smooth process for your new business.

Ideal Candidate

We love working with passionate and driven partners. Below are qualities we believe are important to be able to be a successful franchise partner.

When awarding franchises, we look for the following key attributes:

• • A positive and outgoing attitude
  • Good business acumen and business financial knowledge
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to see projects to completion
  • Well-rounded people with leadership and communication abilities

Hands-on ownership is preferred but an Operating Partner should hold a minimum of 20% interest in the business if the majority owner is not a day-to-day operator.

*Food-service experience is a plus but not a prerequisite*
