Restaurant Mentoring: Fueling Success Through Experience
We work with our owner-operators right from the beginning. In fact, even before that, since most of our partners have risen through the ranks of our own restaurants in our mentorship program.
Owning a franchise along with S&L Companies means that together we:
• Choose the right location for new restaurants
• Work with approved architects and contractors
• Create a business plan that balances the needs of guests, the team, and the bottom line
• Recruit and train the team
• Assist hands-on with start-up operations and opening the restaurant
