One partner for the franchise chapter of the brand lifecycle.
We turn proven independent restaurant concepts into functioning franchise systems — then run the development engine that grows them, unit by unit.
Currently working alongside a small number of select partners through an early proof-of-concept phase.
Four services, deliberately sequenced.
Each one earns the next — we don't skip steps, and neither should you.
Built for operators who've already done the hard part.
If you've already built a great restaurant — or you're the firm that helped get it there — the next question is usually the same one: should we franchise this?
We built Takeoff Group to be the answer. We take a proven concept from "should we" to a functioning franchise system — without asking anyone to hand over the brand, or hire a franchise department to find out.
We work directly with restaurant owners ready to franchise, and alongside operations and consulting firms whose clients are approaching that same question. If your work has already made a brand franchise-ready, we're the natural next conversation for that client — not a competitor for the relationship.
- → At least 2 operating units, open 18+ months
- → Unit economics that support a franchisee
- → A buildout cost that's realistically financeable
- → Documented operations — or an owner ready to build them
- → An owner who wants the franchisor job, not just the fee
Two operators, one focus.
We've built and sold a franchise system ourselves — and we've built the vendor relationships that keep every unit stocked. Between us, that's the full lifecycle.
Hands-on experience taking an independent concept through the full franchise lifecycle — brand standards, operations manuals, training systems, and franchisee recruitment — from first unit to a multi-state system through to a successful acquisition.
The networking engine behind Takeoff Group's vendor relationships — sourcing FF&E, smallwares, and consumables at scale, and connecting brands to the right partners well beyond procurement.
