LOW-COST INVESTMENT

While our competitors in our space require an initial investment for upwards of $450,000 to get in the game, you can get into Nautical Bowls for $50,000 down and an investment under $250,000.

When you take into consideration our commitment to delivering a great product and a top-notch guest experience, our lower initial investment, simple operation, and strong unit economics, this provides an easy path for our franchisees to be multi-unit owners.

SIMPLE & SCALABLE

Our build outs are not expensive, there is not excessive overhead, and our product is not complex to create. Since day one, we have been focused on creating the most efficient way of doing everything that surrounds our business and now have extremely simplified processes for every task.

With a small footprint of 600-1,200 square feet finding real estate is easier and faster, so our franchise partners can open their stores quickly!

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

We have fine-tuned the operations of running a healthy fast-casual concept and turned the industry profitability norms on its head (over double industry average profit margins). Staffing for our stores is generally 1 full time manager and 12-15 part-time employees.

Our build outs are affordable, in fact, the typical investment for a Nautical Bowls franchise is less than 250K (franchise fee included)! Since day one, we have been focused on creating the most efficient systems and processes to help you manage and expand your Nautical Bowls business.

AMAZING GUEST EXPERIENCE

Many brands claim to focus and care about the guest experience but how many have developed a training program solely around company culture and step-by-step guides to create incredible guest experiences and loyalty? At Nautical Bowls, we prioritize authentic and powerful community relationships.

Nautical Bowls has an extremely loyal following among its guests. We've found once someone tries one of our unique signature bowls, we've created a guest for life.

The Nautical Bowls experience tends to draw people who associate themselves with living an active and healthy lifestyle.

With so many of us living an on-the-go lifestyle, we found that our product appeals to everyone regardless of age or gender. Our guests are not only on the go, but they also want a healthy alternative to what most fast-food establishments are offering today.

IDEAL FRANCHISE PARTNER

The ideal Franchise Partner is passionate about health and wellness and making people feel awesome! They have the entrepreneurial spirit and love being involved in their community.

They have an œOthers First' mentality and share our vision for providing the best healthy meal experience and know that is only possible by delivering amazing service.

We are looking for like-minded entrepreneurs who want to capitalize on this rapidly growing segment of the restaurant industry and be part of our winning açai team!

Our best owners are those that don't place limits on their ambition or success and are ready to build an amazing business while achieving work/life balance.
