    About Berryhill Baja Grill

    Franchise your own Berryhill: After a decade of success in bringing Baja to the masses, we are looking to add to our family tree. Of course, we know a good thing when we see it (and eat it), and Berryhill Baja Grill’s blend of palate-pleasing cuisine in a relaxed, inviting Baja-inspired atmosphere is a hit. Our franchising system is based on the belief that our success is dependent upon the success of those in our family. That means we take pride in building solid partnerships with our franchisees, vendors, and employees. Our selection of prospective franchisees is based on an assessment of overall business experience and personal qualifications. We look for enthusiastic individuals with experience and resources to develop multiple-unit operations in the United States and beyond. While our focus is on multi-unit development, single-unit development is considered on an individual basis.

    About Tin Drum Asia Cafe

    Founded in 2003, Tin Drum was created to reflect the bustling street-side cafes found throughout Asia. With the limited service operating model of fast casual and the dining experience of full casual, Tin Drum Asia Cafe is setting a new standard for the Fast Casual Dining franchise model. We call it "Fresh Casual." Our menu carries bold and broad flavor profiles; all food is cooked fresh to order in an open kitchen; the food is delivered to the guest at their table rather than being picked up at a counter; all this taking place in an environment with an elevated decor meant to evoke a bustling Asian street market.
