Step 1: Book an Introductory Call

Simply book your introductory call by completing the form.

Step 2: Start the Conversation

Your journey starts with a conversation with our franchise development team. This discussion provides insight into our values and mission, and what it takes to become a successful franchisee. It’s your opportunity to inquire about our franchise to determine if it’s the right fit for you. We’re happy to provide the answers and supply additional resources for your review.

Step 3: Meet Your Vice President

We’ll arrange an in-person meeting for you to meet with one of our Regional Vice Presidents, who can answer any further questions you might have about opening a charcuterie franchise. This provides an ideal time to get to know one another and for you to learn more about our franchise opportunity from the individual who will guide you every step of the way.

Step 4: Complete Your Personal Profile

We’ll ask you to complete a simple personal profile to reveal more about your background and any other pertinent information. We want to ensure you have a full understanding of how to start a charcuterie franchise business, so learning more about you, your experience, questions and concerns, financial capabilities, and more will be especially helpful in informing you.

Step 5: Connect with a Franchisee

As part of your due diligence in reviewing our franchise opportunity, evaluating available territories, and other factors, you’ll meet a current franchisee who can provide vast insight into the business. You’ll learn more about the brand, what you’re entitled to as a franchisee, and what we’ll expect from you in return.

Step 6: Attend a Discovery Day: Meet the Graze Craze Team

After we review your profile, we may invite you to visit our World Headquarters in West Palm Beach, FL, and meet our Leadership Team. You’ll get a feel for our culture and tour a few existing franchise locations, with the option to do so virtually.

Step 7: Market Analysis and Vision Meeting

The location of your business is critical to its success. Our real estate team will guide you through the market and site selection process to find a prime location for your franchise.

Step 8: Complete the Process: Franchise License Awarded

As part of your business plan, we’ll provide you with a development budget, financing options, and franchise approval. All that’s left is to sign your franchise agreement and pay the initial deposit/remaining fees owed. Congratulations, you’re a franchise owner!
