A: Federal Trade Commission regulations and various states regulating franchise sales activity restrict our ability to provide you with specific profit projections. To learn more about actual experiences, we encourage you to speak with existing Franchisees during your qualification process.

Please feel free to provide any feedback you have for us. Visit the Let’s Talk page.

We’re flattered you’re interested! Please visit the Franchise pages for more information.

There are many options available including our organic tofu that you may request in any item. Our organic black beans and pinto beans are both meatless and vegetarian friendly.

We have a couple vegan items that are not found on the menu–the AJ burrito or AJ bowl. The vegan AJ burrito is a combination of organic brown rice, black or pinto beans, steamed broccoli and guacamole wrapped in a low-fat whole wheat tortilla. You can request it as a bowl without the tortilla over a bed of baby greens.

After you have confirmed your Sharky’s fundraiser, take some of these steps to help create a large turnout and increase your donation. The more people your organization brings in for your fundraiser, the more money your group earns.
• Email your fundraising flyer to everyone you know (family, friends, co-workers, etc.)
• Announce your fundraiser on your website and social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.). Post a link to download your flyer (downloadable pdf of your flyer).
• Pass out flyers at large gatherings or insert information in your newsletters.
• The most important step for success, is to allow enough time for you to promote it and get the word out to everyone you know. The more people that come to your Sharky’s fundraiser, the more money your organization will earn. Your supporters can order take-out or catering too. Just have them present a flyer or show it on their phone when they pick-up their order.

A: Thanks! We’re flattered. Please fill out the Franchise Request Form and we’ll be in touch with more information.

A: We’re always looking great locations. Please send the information to realestate@sharkys.com

You will receive your fundraiser check within 4-6 weeks after your event.

You should coordinate and submit the necessary documents for your fundraiser at least 1 month in advance. This gives us time to create your customized Sharky’s flyer and plenty of time for you to distribute as many flyers as possible and inform everyone of your event.

You will earn 20% of the net food/beverage sales that your organization brings in (plus an additional $1 for every chips & guacamole side sold on Guacamole Smash Nights). The more flyers you distribute, the higher your return rate will be. There are no limits to how much you can earn! TIP: Organizations that have involved a popular leader or groups (i.e. teachers, principals, football team) at the restaurant.

A number of community non-profit organizations are eligible to organize and hold a fundraiser at Sharky’s. Examples are, but not limited to: Sports Teams/Squads, Church Groups, Booster Clubs/PTA’s, Charity events, Schools, etc. The list is endless. If you need $$ and want a fun way to earn it for your organization, a fundraiser at Sharky’s is the way to go.

A: We promise to take good care of you. All Franchisees and their leadership Teams participate in a hands-on program designed for each level of leadership. For Franchise owners, there is a two-week executive training program, which emphasizes systems, organizational leadership and Sharky’s standards execution. For Operators and Kitchen Managers, there is an eight-week intensive hands-on training program, which covers all of the hourly Team functions, management systems and operating standards of the Sharky’s brand.

A: Each restaurant location is different with factors such as site selection, build-out requirements, and training. We have found the development cycle is approximately eight months from execution of the Franchise Agreement.

A: Sharky’s is actively seeking highly qualified individuals and Teams to become franchisees. Prior business experience, personal financial qualifications, individual motivation, and a track record of success are important factors in our evaluation process.
