It doesn’t take industry experience to open a franchise restaurant with Perkins. We work with franchisees from all walks of life! A few examples of our franchisees include Retail or Restaurant Managers who are looking to own their own business. Perkins allows these franchisees to leverage their experience into a new opportunity. Restaurant owners interested in converting their business to a franchise. It’s simple to adopt the Perkins business model, and there’s great potential to see increased revenue when you convert. Experienced investors who want to break into the restaurant industry. We work with you throughout the process of setting up one or more Perkins restaurants, and we welcome franchisees who are looking for a more hands-off role. First-time franchisees who are highly motivated and ready to go into business for themselves. The comprehensive training and support we have to offer helps franchisees break out of the nine-to-five cycle.

Modern Prototypes

Perkins is flipping the script on traditional operations to embrace the future of family dining! Over the past twelve months, we've rolled out several initiatives to accelerate franchise development— thriving virtual concepts, innovative technology advancements and a new modern prototype are propelling us towards exponential growth.

In fact, our new modernized prototype secured our spot on FSR’s 13 Casual Restaurants with Major Franchise Plans list. Since kicking off our franchise growth initiative last year, we’ve shrunk our model to 4,100 square feet to leverage our growing takeout and delivery business.

Our team will help you prepare a targeted marketing campaign to spread the word about your new business. We’ll work closely with you throughout your grand opening to ensure that all goes well. Once your doors have opened and your business is running smoothly, we’ll continue to work with you to set goals for growth and support you in your operations.
