What makes a Make and Take Gourmet franchise store different from other meal assembly businesses?
At Make and Take Gourmet we are committed to your growth and success. We are partners in making Make and Take Gourmet one of the premier meal assembly businesses in the country. As seasoned marketing professionals we know how to “brand” and promote the business. We have the pulse on consumer buying trends so that we can grow and change our business model to keep up with those trends faster than our competitors.
We also pride ourselves on the quality and taste of our food. It’s easy to get a customer to try something once, but if it’s not great they won’t be back. Our taste-tested recipes are so delicious they’ll keep coming back for more. And our customers love the ambience of our exciting, upscale environment.
How does your training program work?
Once your location is approved we will invite you to one of the Make and Take stores for a complete on-the-job training. This will include all aspects of operations, web management, setting up and running a session, inventory control and the food ordering process. Once your store is ready to open, a representative of Make and Take Gourmet will come to your location for on-site training and to assist you in getting ready for your grand opening. You will also receive the Make and Take Operations Manual to assist you in running your store. Make and Take Gourmet will continue to offer support and consultations as you grow your business.

How many franchise locations can I own?
