WE’LL BE THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

SUPPORT

We’re committed to the continuous pursuit of perfection for our customers. That same ideology is applied to our Franchise Owners. If you’re awarded an opportunity, we’ll be working closely to ensure our mutual success. Through initial training, product research and development, marketing, operational guidance or P&L analysis, we’re committed to ensuring your operational excellence.

Initial Training

You’ll engage in 4 weeks of training at our headquarters in Maryland for yourself and two managers to learn all aspects of California Tortilla.

On Site Training

Following initial training and prior to your opening, we’ll travel to your new store for another week of training and to ensure the success of your first store opening.

On Going Support

Whether it’s a question about budgets, an operational issue, a hiring idea… we have your back. Our burrito franchise maintains a support team to ensure that you have immediate help with questions or concerns.

Field Support

Real support is about being proactive. It’s about planning ahead. It’s about sitting down face-to-face and strategizing on how to improve your bottom line. We have monthly visits with you to assess business performance and provide support as needed.
