Your Four-Week Launch Foundation
Your journey begins with four weeks of comprehensive franchise training designed to transform you from aspiring owner to confident operator.
Initial Training
You’ll spend your first two weeks at our corporate headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, learning the foundation of your business. You’ll craft boards, manage inventory, understand food safety protocols, and master the systems that keep your operation running smoothly. Every session is hands-on—you’ll learn by doing, working alongside trainers who’ve helped Graze Craze franchisees launch successfully.
You’ll work alongside our training team to learn cost management, quality standards, vendor relationships, and the operational details that separate successful businesses from struggling ones. By the end of week two, you’ll understand not just what to do, but why each system matters.
On-Location Training
Your training continues on-location for two weeks of comprehensive, on-site support. This is where everything comes together. You’ll set up your kitchen, train your staff, establish your workflows, and prepare for your grand opening—all with expert guidance right beside you.
These two weeks transform your space into a fully operational Graze Craze location. You’ll practice your systems with real inventory, real equipment, and real scenarios. When you open your doors, you won’t be guessing—you’ll be executing a plan you’ve already practiced.

Regular reviews ensure your charcuterie boards match brand standards, your ingredients meet quality requirements, and your presentation reflects the creativity customers expect.

You’ll receive feedback, celebrate progress, and make small adjustments that create lasting improvement. Over time, these small improvements compound. You’ll build real competitive advantage and genuine pride in what you’ve created.
Advanced Training for Multi-Unit Growth
