Operations Operational Simplicity - we like working smart, not hard. EVOS is the 'Original' healthier fast food restaurant. Yup, we started this thing in 1994. We've been doing this for way over a decade, which means: our systems are the most efficient and the most effective to make your job as easy as possible while executing under 3 minute ticket times; our marketing strategy has been tested, tried, and true, to bring in guests and retain them; our management tools and technology make developing, maintaining, and motivating a great team simpler and easier; and our proven recipes have been carefully developed, and tested, to make any skeptics mouth water and brain erase the myth that healthier doesn't taste better.

We prefer to be located in lifestyle centers or mixed-use developments with lots of foot traffic and a good mix of other national and local tenants. We will also consider well-positioned neighborhood shopping centers; urban/downtown locations with strong daytime population and foot traffic; and areas near college and university campuses.

Company Overviews

About Evos

Product In-demand - burgers, fries, and shakes that are 50-70% less fat. Finally, fast food you can feel great about. Other restaurants merely accommodate with a few 'lower fat' or 'lite' menu items. EVOS serves up an entire menu of choices to meet the needs of many different lifestyles. Our recipes are made with high quality healthier ingredients like our naturally raised hormone & antibiotic free Steakburger and Low Fat Organic Milkshakes. No other franchise can match our commitment to: less fat, calories, and cholesterol; higher quality natural ingredients; organic ingredients; and more importantly great taste. Stand out from the crowd - start something new. Ok, so why bother fighting for market share in a landscape full of sub/sandwich shops, burrito joints, and pizza places? Hundreds of communities in our country are starving for a 'healthier fast food fix'. EVOS exists because there is a serious demand for the opportunity to continue to enjoy the All American burger occasion, made healthier. EVOS is a fresh, fun, forward thinking, and financially rewarding franchise opportunity. That isn't too granola. Healthy Opportunity - people, planet, profits EVOS is not only a ground floor financial opportunity. You will feel great knowing you are also making a difference in your community and the planet. While doing your part, you will be gifting thousands of excited patrons the opportunity to enjoy the All American meal of burgers, fries, and shakes-without the aftereffects. As an EVOS franchise owner, you'll not only be part of an opportunity, you'll be serving it as well.

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.
