Johnny Greeko's - Greek Restaurant Franchise

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD

The food sector and franchising are no-brainers in terms of their benefits for entrepreneurs and customers. People want to go out and have a great time eating delicious food together. And an established brand is one that can be trusted and comes with an effective business model that has been tried and tested.

But what makes Johnny Greeko’s special? What do we offer that makes us the right choice for you?

First of all, our Executive Team has years of restaurant experience, which has successfully promoted our excellent customer service standards and the superb quality of our food.

With our lower-than-industry-standard franchise and royalty fees, you’ll find it even easier to enter this industry with a fast set-up, training and ongoing support, than if you were to take the independent route.

You will also enjoy multiple revenue streams, with walk-in, third-party delivery, and catering services, which will bring you income.

You can also run your business to fit your ideal lifestyle balance of work and leisure. You can close on Sundays, and many members of our network have found that Johnny Greeko’s makes for a great family business.

WHAT DO WE – AND YOU – OFFER THE MARKET?

Johnny Greeko’s is an authentic Greek-Mediterranean fast-casual franchise that offers every customer a glorious menu with a wide range of delicious options.

We serve quality Greek fast-casual cuisine for take-out, dine-in and delivery.

Our menu ranges from Greek-style pittas, salads, and fresh bowls to platters and family meals and catering options for large or small functions.

Our customer service, atmosphere in every location, and refined menu have led to a fiercely loyal, returning customer base, with an average Google ranking of 4.6 across all our locations.

This business is recession-proof – we opened in Brantford during the pandemic in 2020 – and served highly sought-after healthy Greek cuisine.

Since opening, we’ve been working with local charities and community organizations to provide catering and support through donations and promoting healthy eating with the Greek Mediterranean diet.

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Successful shift from company-owned locations to franchised locations
• Menu evolution that includes halal, vegetarian options, etc.

SUPPORT AND TRAINING

We provide a comprehensive training program to all franchisees. This includes a minimum of two weeks of training in a corporate restaurant, followed by franchisor assistance with:

• Real estate site identification and negotiations; construction
• Finance attainment assistance by a third party
• Operations manuals, forms, and recipes are loaned prior to opening

We believe in the immeasurable importance of open communication with all franchisees. Whenever a new idea or lesson comes to one member of our network, we pass it along so everyone benefits!

PROOF OF SUCCESS

“Getting into business as a young entrepreneur was easier than expected with Johnny Greeko’s. The training, prior to opening, was thorough, organized and supported with resources. The support by the Head Office team since opening, has been excellent.”

- Jay

“As an employee of Johnny Greeko’s from the outset, I dreamt that one day I would be a franchisee. My dream came true. For the past year, I have been the proud owner of the Cambridge location. The transition from employee to franchisee was a seamless one, thanks to the Franchisor and his team.”

THE INGREDIENTS OF A JOHNNY GREEKO’S FRANCHISEE

Johnny Greeko’s franchisee should be a self-motivated, hard-working individual capable of handling multiple tasks such as cooking, prepping, using a point-of-sales system and serving guests with a smile.

At first, you’ll be expected to ensure proper staffing and provide adequate training for the franchise to be successful.

The average day’s work will be to ensure that lunch and dinner services are successful, and you will be expected to be there to make sure this happens. Johnny Greeko’s is a hands-on system; you’ll need to be present as much as possible in the beginning to ensure recipes, policies and procedures are maintained as per our standards.

Depending on the volume of the location, you can hire and train front-of-house and kitchen managers to alleviate the workload.
