Overview
Own a business made efficient by design.
Every component of the W.G. Grinders business, from recipe development to restaurant design to customer service techniques, has been tested and refined for performance. When you become a W.G. Grinders franchisee, you benefit from the experience of those who have devoted thousands of hours to developing the W.G. Grinders system.
The W.G. Grinders style.
The engaging, comfortable style of a W.G. Grinders restaurant is immediately apparent. The floors are distinctive black and white alternating tile squares, and the glass cases exhibit fresh breads, meats, and salads to give the customer the initial feeling of being in a delicatessen. Curved glass block walls separate areas and add to the restaurants' look, while soft neon lights, an open ceiling, and full length windows accent the warm, comfortable, but casual atmosphere.
Take-out dining can account for a substantial portion of the W.G. Grinders restaurants' sales. Party sandwiches can be prepared on 3 foot rolls. Vegetable and cheese platters, deli trays, and other specialty orders provide a way to generate add-on sales and build recognition of the W.G. Grinders' name. FAX menus, corporate meeting menus, and a kid's menu also effectively generate take out sales.
