Our Process

YOUR PATH TO FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP

Application

After reviewing the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), you’ll
complete the application.

If there’s early alignment, we’ll schedule a call to:

Answer your specific questions
Review your application
Give you access to our franchisees for more due diligence

Franchise Agreements

We'll finalize your multi-unit territory (2 or more) and the timeline to open them. You’ll sign a development agreement as well as a franchise agreement for the first store and we’ll collect the development fees.

Both sides evaluate fit across:

Financial readiness
Business experience
Long-term growth alignment

Construction

We'll provide a layout of a typical Broken Yolk along with all equipment and design specifications. You'll hire a designer (or architect, if required) to modify the plans to fit your specific site and submit to your local building authority. Once the plans are approved, you'll hire a general contractor to build your restaurant.

During your tenant improvements phase, a member of our construction team will visit your site to make sure your construction stays on track.

Inquiry

After you complete the short inquiry form, we’ll reach out to learn more about your qualifications and answer your initial questions. We’ll discuss development timelines, training, marketing, technology platforms and purchasing for both food and equipment.

If you meet the financial and operational requirements, we’ll send a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and application.
