Owning A Fast Food Franchise With Training Provided
Learning the Business with Charleys
Stepping into the restaurant industry can feel like a big undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be an intimidating one. At Charleys Philly Steaks, we believe that the right partner can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve developed a strong training and support system designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools for your new business venture. The journey of owning a fast food franchise is one we take together, ensuring you feel prepared from the moment you join our family.
We are committed to providing a clear and comprehensive path for our new franchise owners. Our process is built on a foundation of education, covering everything from our menu and food preparation to the day to day operational standards that make Charleys a beloved brand. We’re by your side throughout your business journey so you can start with confidence, backed by a team that is invested in your journey.
Comprehensive Training for New Franchise Owners
Our training program is designed to be immersive, giving you a complete understanding of the Charleys system. Before you open your doors, you will participate in a 3 week training program that includes hands on, in-store experience. This initial training covers key aspects of the business, including food preparation, customer service standards, inventory management, and use of our point of sale (POS) system.
The practical component of your training is crucial. You will spend time in an operating Charleys restaurant, learning the flow of the kitchen, front of house, and back office. This real world experience is invaluable, as it allows you to see our proven systems in action and practice the skills you’ll need every day. Our goal is to ensure that by the time your training is complete, the idea of owning a fast food franchise feels less like a challenge and more like a familiar, manageable operation.

Owning a Fast Food Franchise with Ongoing Support
Our support doesn’t end once you’ve completed the initial training program. We provide ongoing assistance to help you navigate the path of business ownership. From regular field visits to professional development assistance, this consistent relationship is a cornerstone of our support system, providing a resource for questions and guidance along the way.
In addition to operational support, we also provide marketing resources, including a comprehensive marketing plan and promotional materials. These powerful tools help you effectively communicate with local customers, capturing the attention of potential guests and cultivating a loyal customer base for your Charleys Philly Steaks location.
