Dreaming of starting a charcuterie business? Graze Craze gives qualified candidates a clear path to explore ownership, learn the model, meet the team, and decide whether this franchise opportunity is the right fit. You bring the questions, ambition, and the community you want to serve. We will walk you through the process step by step, from your first conversation to franchise award.
Explore the opportunity with the #1 charcuterie franchise
Starting a charcuterie business is an exciting venture, and partnering with Graze Craze makes the process smooth and rewarding. By investing in one of the fastest-growing franchises in the food industry, you’ll benefit from a proven business model, expert support, and a strong brand reputation.
The Graze Craze discovery process is designed to help you understand the business, ask smart questions, review available opportunities, and get to know the people behind the brand. Along the way, you will learn how Graze Craze operates, what support is available, what the investment includes, and what it takes to build a local charcuterie business around catering, gifting, events, and celebration.
Book an introductory call
It starts with a simple first step: complete the form and schedule an introductory call with the Graze Craze franchise development team.
This is your chance to raise your hand, share where you are interested in opening, and start learning whether Graze Craze fits your ownership goals.
Start the conversation
Your first conversation gives you a better feel for the Graze Craze opportunity, the brand’s values, and what it means to become a franchise owner.
This is also the time to ask early questions about the model, the process, the investment, available communities, and what support looks like before and after opening.
Meet your Regional Vice President
Next, you will have the opportunity to connect with a Regional Vice President who can answer deeper questions about opening a Graze Craze franchise.
Think of this as a more personal look at the opportunity. You will learn more about the brand, the process, and the people who may help guide you as you move forward.
Complete your personal profile
Graze Craze will ask you to complete a personal profile so the team can better understand your background, experience, goals, questions, and financial qualifications.
This step helps both sides make sure the opportunity is being evaluated thoughtfully. Franchise ownership should fit the candidate, the community, and the business model.

Connect with a franchisee
As part of your due diligence, you may have the opportunity to speak with a current Graze Craze franchisee.
This gives you a real-world perspective on ownership, day-to-day operations, customer demand, support, and what it is like to bring Graze Craze to a local community.
Attend Discovery Day
Qualified candidates may be invited to attend Discovery Day and meet the Graze Craze team. This may include a visit to World Headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, or a virtual option depending on the process.
Discovery Day gives you a closer look at the culture, leadership, support team, and franchise system before moving toward a final decision.
Choose your desired location
Location matters, and Graze Craze supports candidates through market and site review.
During this stage, you will discuss your community, available opportunities, and the vision for your Graze Craze location. The goal is to understand where the brand can fit and how your local business could serve offices, events, gifts, celebrations, and everyday orders.
Franchise license awarded
Once the process is complete and all final steps are approved, you will review the franchise agreement, complete required payments, and officially become a Graze Craze franchise owner.
Then the real fun begins: preparing to open, learning the model, building your team, and getting ready to bring boards, boxes, grazing tables, catering, and gifts to your community.
