A one stop shop for building
As a franchisee, you receive guidance in the design and layout of your restaurant. We specify the equipment needs for each location (e.g. freezers, fryers, grills, etc.) and provide guidance in the selection of contractors and vendors. We require that you use an approved architect, kitchen designer, and signage company. FAT Brands provides design & material specifications, signage specifications, and other design materials to assist you in building your restaurant.
