Branding is everything. If people know and trust your product,
you've conquered the biggest hurdle faced by most new businesses.
As a Mr. Food no-fuss Meals franchisee, you’ve got that taken care of
– so you can start out ahead of the game. Aside from the many other
differences, ours is the only meal assembly franchise backed by the brand
awareness of a national food celebrity –
syndicated television show host and popular food personality and
cookbook author Mr. Food (a.k.a. Art Ginsburg).
“Advertising grabs their minds. Branding gets their hearts.”
—Rob Frankel, The Revenge of Brand X
Nationally Recognized, Locally Embraced
Yes, Mr. Food is known throughout the country, but since he is seen almost daily
on local news programs, everyone feels like Mr. Food is part of their
community.
Our years of brand-building have given us immeasurable experience that shows up
in virtually every aspect of the Mr. Food no-fuss Meals operations. Since we
have received more than a quarter century of consumer feedback as a result of
our visibility on TV and radio, in newspapers and magazines, the Mr. Food team
continues to have its pulse on what America wants. We incorporate that unique
perspective into our development…and YOU will reap the benefits
of this experience.
Now that’s a reason to say…

When our franchisees begin working with us, the first thing they
notice is our attention to detail. You wouldn’t want it any other way,
would you?
Our extensive training program, known as no-fuss Meals University,
is designed to assist franchisees and key staff members with every area of your
business. This comprehensive program includes everything from safe food
handling and store set-up to quality and consistency standards, guest
relations, advertising and promotions, and our proprietary web-based computer
system (including our wide range of custom business tracking, ordering and reporting tools). And that's only
the beginning!
Our training program will not only increase your confidence as you prepare to
open your business, but our team will provide you with the tools you need to
build and develop your own winning team.
First there’s a combination of classroom training at the Mr. Food
corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale and hands-on training at our
corporate training store in nearby Coral Springs, Florida. That is followed by
training at your location prior to and throughout your Grand Opening week.
You’ll see – our training program will empower you with the tools
and knowledge you need to return home and lead your own team to achieve –
or even exceed – your goals.

The difference between a good business and a profitable business
is often its buying power.
Every ingredient and piece of equipment used at your store has been tested and
evaluated by our development team. We have sourced only the highest-quality
products and the most reliable suppliers, and we want you to enjoy the best
pricing available for these items. That is why we have negotiated pricing with
various national distributors.
Our buying power allows you to take advantage of volume pricing. As we continue to grow, our negotiated pricing will continue to enhance
your
bottom line.
