Finding the ideal site sets you up for future success and the sooner we identify that location, the better! Your experience as a C&G Franchisee will commence with an on-location visit with a member of our Real Estate team to get things rolling. From there, we will provide you with any marketing materials you’ll need to introduce CRISP & GREEN to landlords and brokers, and will work with you on work letters, LOI’s and lease negotiations. We have a team of experts with the sole focus to find you a high quality location in a timely manner.
Our expert design and construction project managers have years of experience in managing QSR tenant improvement projects and supporting franchise partners through the design and construction process. We have built relationships with architects, engineers, approved vendors and general contractors who understand our brand expectations and timelines.
The talented experts on our training teams are here to set you up for success before, during and after you open! We’ve created a vast training program that starts with hands-on training in an operating restaurant, continues with detailed classroom education, and is reinforced by virtual quizzes, manuals and webinars. This comprehensive approach leads to confident, productive teams and efficient, profitable operations.
Running a successful restaurant takes dedication and the right tools. Lucky for you, we’ve already done the leg work – all you’ll need to do is follow the playbook! We’ve established national partnerships with suppliers, implemented turnkey inventory, COGS, labor and POS management systems, and have a system of regular checks-ins and assessments to ensure your operations are performing at a world-class level.
We’ve created a strong brand with a dedicated following of guests who love what we do, who we are, and what we stand for. We believe that the best way to continue this is to have a team of in-house marketing experts to manage the day-to-day when it comes to your marketing efforts. We manage all social media channels, email newsletters, Grand Opening strategy, influencer relationships, in-store graphics, PR and more. This allows you and your team to focus on what you do best – delivering an excellent guest experience inside your 4 walls.
Building a recipe for success starts with the people. We strive to create teams of aspirational and inspirational individuals who are proud to serve healthy and whole food in a welcoming environment and want to be part of a positive and wellness-driven culture. Our People & Culture team will work with you to understand how to build a great team through focused recruiting, and how to maintain that team through great pay, promotions, rewards and recognition. Creating an environment where people are engaged and passionate about what they do and create the best guest experience.
Online ordering has been a major area of growth in fast casual restaurants. That’s why we have a dedicated team to support you in the functionality of your system from set-up to day-to-day operations. Beyond serving your guests, we have several systems that will help you manage your inventory, product ordering, scheduling, and daily labor leading you to more efficient and profitable operations.
Helping you create a magical opening day is one of the most rewarding aspects of what we do! We will design an opening day and week plan that will kick-off your openings with zest!

A NOTE FROM FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
STEELE SMILEY
Helping others live a better life is something I’ve always pursued. With more than 15 years running companies in the wellness industry, I’ve seen people become amazing versions of themselves with simple, smart changes in their nutrition and exercise. Most people want to make healthier choices, but the resources are not always readily available for busy, on-the-go people. We created CRISP & GREEN® because we believe that access to clean, scratch-made and convenient food can be the greatest mover in the health and wellness industry.
CRISP & GREEN® exists to bridge the gap between convenient and nourishing food choices. Now more than ever, people are actively seeking options that benefit their health, and finding quick options that align with fitness and wellness goals can be a challenge. CRISP & GREEN® has become that option, and has allowed people to feel good about their choices and confident in how they are fueling their bodies. The opportunity to bring this concept all over the country has the potential to change the world and the way we relate to food for the better.
While I’ve always had a passion for nutrition, my life completely changed in 2014 when I became vegan. I felt better in every way. The issue was finding quick, convenient choices that fit my lifestyle. When CRISP & GREEN® was built, it became clear that I was not the only one. People with dietary restrictions, people trying to lose weight, and people with various health issues have shared that CRISP & GREEN® is now an essential part of their diet.
At our core, we are wellness-driven because we understand that a healthy lifestyle goes beyond the kitchen. While our main product is delicious and healthy food, we also educate on and provide a resource for fitness and self-care. We seek out and empower employees with similar mindsets to lead initiatives and events within our spaces. In addition, we partner with like-minded, innovative brands that align with our mission to offer a holistic wellness experience to all of our guests.
CRISP & GREEN®’s inspirational company culture paired with our unique integration of fitness, incredible scratch-made food, and our franchise opportunity allows every community a chance to live better. We look forward to having you alongside us in our mission to help people in your community Live Crisp.
Let’s build something exceptional together, Cheers!
