Conrad's Grill Franchising

Built to Be one of the Quickest in Quick Service.

One product nobody else makes. A kitchen that opens in 25 minutes.

Why Customers Come Back

Maximum bang for your buck

One product nobody else makes. A kitchen that opens in 25 minutes. Nearly 20 years of lines out the door, $0 on paid marketing. Now it’s your turn to bring the tot-wrap to the next college town.

Almost Too Big

Prices are extremely competitive, and the wraps are filling. They’re packed with protein, not padded with lettuce or rice.

Built to Travel

Wraps hold for long periods of time, which makes them ideal for delivery and catering. Customers have been known to save half for tomorrow’s breakfast.

Allergen Friendly

The menu is health department and food allergen friendly. If it’s a concern, it’s not on the menu.

Easy to Train

The menu is simple enough that high school employees excel at every part of running a shift.

Built Lean

A small crew. A small box.

1

A Two-Person Crew

Two good employees can run the line on a busy shift. Staffing flexes by daypart instead of a flat headcount all day.

2

Pre-Made Tortillas

No proofing, no baking and no extra equipment. Pre-made tortillas save a ton of space in the kitchen.

3

900 Sq Ft Minimum

Locations can fit into a space as small as 900 square feet, including sites that other food concepts could not make work.

4

Four Core Items

Grilled chicken, chicken tenders, tater tots and tortillas make up half of distributor purchases, which gives good bargaining power on the main food items.

The Conrad’s System™

Three Revenue Channels

A short, tortilla-first opening prep, a grill-line layout built for speed and a staffing model that flexes by daypart. Prep for a busy weekend is done Tuesday through Thursday during business hours. The toughest tasks are dicing onion or tomato and making ranch.

Counter

Walk-in and pickup, built on regulars who know the crew.

Delivery & Catering

A core channel since the flagship opened. Wraps hold up for long delivery runs.

Late Night

Open until 2:00–2:30 AM in East Lansing, where most fast-casual brands are closed.

Replace the bread and the bottleneck disappears.
