About Steak & Stuff

We opened Steak & Stuff in July 2006. Looking at all the large corporations overcharging potential franchise customers , we decided first of all to start our own and that we could provide better food than the competition. Second , after establishing ourselves we could offer other aspiring restaurant owners security within our company. Strength in numbers so to speak. Franchising is about minimizing risks and maximizing your returns. As a Steak & Stuff franchisor we provide operating systems, solid research and development, established marketing methods and instant credibility. You will also receive extensive training and ongoing support which can reduce the risk and build success more rapidly than trying to do it on your own. So if you are interested in becoming your own boss give us a call.
For as little as $95,000.00 you can franchise a Steak&Stuff. We offer what the others do with training, support, marketing etc. but its what we do that they don't that sets us apart.
