About Franchise

After more than 35 years, we’re still keeping things fresh. We aren’t just another fast food restaurant where people make a quick stop, grab their lunch and immediately leave. We want to give people an experience they can enjoy. One where they can sit back and relax with family and friends over a delicious meal.

The Steak Escape culture centers on three simple words – PASSION, PURPOSE and PRIDE. These are the core values the Steak Escape corporate team believe sets them apart from their competition.

For management and staff, it means fully understanding the foundational core values of Steak Escape and how it aligns with the new, relevant direction.

We’re interested in franchise partners that believe as we do. If you think you have what it takes to help us fulfill our mission, to be the day’s highlight of everyone who walks through the door, let’s talk.

REINVENTION

As time changes so do the preferences of our guests. We evolved our business in order to keep up with an ever-changing industry and the way people view dining out. While our dedication to serving awesome tasting sandwiches hasn’t changed in 35 years, it was time for Steak Escape to reinvent how we serve the communities we call home.

For customer convenience, we went to the street by opening free-standing and strip center locations. Today, Steak Escape meets the demand of cheesesteak lovers with drive-thru, pick-up, carry-out, and delivery capabilities for guests who “want it now.”

For interior design and comfort, it meant no harsh lighting or the feel of cold hard plastic. Thus came the creation of “Urban Americana” — an atmosphere of warm colors and texture, reclaimed wood and repurposed materials, offering more a sense of home than a sterile environment. Customers now want to stay and enjoy their meal rather than rushing out the second the food is gone.

For the menu development team, it meant catering to the needs of people who are living healthier lifestyles by creating healthy options that are as flavorful as their sandwiches. Our expanded menu now features grilled veggie bowls, loaded baked potatoes, and grilled garden salads — all with a taste level that Steak Escape is known for.

FRANCHISE MODELS

Given our history and the industry’s newest trends, Steak Escape franchisees have a variety of building models depending on geographic location and demand.

Free-Standing Restaurant

Along with a comfortable dining room and a drive-thru, franchisees benefit from the significant “street presence” that the freestanding unit offers. The option of owning the land is always a plus.

Airports and Colleges

Quick serve restaurants in airports and on college campuses benefit from a captive audience. Travelers have time to browse before and between flights and are typically looking for a more unique menu offering. College students, staff and faculty look for unique alternatives to ordinary food or cafeteria food.

In-line

Convenience is key. Customers appreciate the easy access to our restaurants located in strip centers. Approximately half of sales in this model are carryout and drive-thru.

Drive-thru capabilities

This is where fast-casual quality and fast-paced lifestyles intersect. Drive-thru models in our free-standing and in-line, end-cap locations traditionally account for 40-50 percent of daily sales.

WE'RE HERE, START TO FINISH

You’ve decided you’re as passionate about cheesesteaks as we are and you want to open your own franchise. Now what? Check out the questions and answers below. If you have more questions or want to get the process started, contact us below.

I WANT IN. HOW DO I GET STARTED?

You’ve got that entrepreneurial spirit and we want you on our team! Steak Escape is a great opportunity to own a business you can take pride in.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. WHERE SHOULD I OPEN MY FRANCHISE? 

Traffic counts. Foot traffic. Potential area growth. Competition. Those are just a few of the factors we use to help you determine where and when to open a franchise. We will work with you to find the right mix of commercial and residential customers that will visit your location throughout the day.

AND THEN… HOW DO I DESIGN THE RESTAURANT?

Don’t worry. We will guide you through the entire design and construction process in an effort to make sure you open a great looking, functional restaurant that is built as cost effectively as possible. We provide detailed floor plans, blueprints and interior design. We value-engineer every process from signage to tables. We also work directly with your contractor to make sure the store is built to specifications and that you get everything you pay for.

WHERE DO I GET OUR PRODUCTS?

We want our franchisees to focus on customers and crew, not worry about products and pricing. We pool the purchasing power of all of our restaurants to buy high-quality ingredients at the best possible pricing. We have an established distribution network to bring the products to your back door twice a week.

Our R&D department spends countless hours in the test kitchen and out in the field in an effort to upgrade our menu, products, procedures and equipment on a regular basis. Our franchisees enjoy new menu items and limited time offers that customers appreciate and look forward to.

HELP! WILL I GET TRAINING AND SUPPORT?

You’re not alone in this. You and your representative(s) will train for 4 weeks divided between our corporate offices and at your Steak Escape Sandwich Grill. Training focuses not only on how to run a great restaurant, but also on how to run a successful business. Once your restaurant is built, we will send a team to your opening to assist in training your staff and to work side-by-side with you through the opening week.

HELLO? HOW DO I GET THE WORD OUT?

Social media. Print. Digital. Our marketing department provides each franchisee with a selection of proven, effective marketing tactics to draw customers to your store on a regular basis. Each year we provide franchisees with limited-time offers, website SEO and digital marketing, social media marketing, four-walls promotion materials and signage — all promoting Steak Escape Sandwich Grill’s brand.
