“The success of every individual franchisee is the success of the St. Louis team as a whole.” At St. Louis Franchise Limited, this basic principle guides our relationship with our franchisees.

In recognition that sophisticated corporate planning is not enough to guarantee long-term success, we subscribe to a ‘franchisee oriented’ corporate business model, one that upholds active communication as the key to a sound working relationship between our franchise head office and our franchisee family. We look to our franchisee partners in their roles as ambassadors of the St. Louis Bar and Grill brand to uphold the values of our culture through their day-to-day interactions with staff, suppliers, customers and peers alike.

Striving to ensure our franchisee partners have the means to effectively manage operational challenges in a high-volume restaurant setting, we are committed to offering a multi-tiered support and management system supported by dynamic service-minded professionals who have a vested interest in the success of each and every St. Louis Bar and Grill franchise location.

To provide new franchisee partners with the resources and facilities needed to start-up and conduct a successful and profitable restaurant business, we deliver support in the following areas:

• Site selection:  Our real estate professionals guide you through every step of the site selection and lease negotiations process with the goal of establishing a location and lease that will serve as the foundation of your success. Relying on our wide network of commercial real estate brokers, prospective sites are evaluated based on demographic and traffic analysis models. Once a site is selected, we work on your behalf to secure favorable lease terms and provide you with legal review of all lease documentation.  
• Training:  As owners and operators of a St. Louis Bar and Grill, your knowledge of day-to-day operations is fundamental to your success. Our Operations Training department is dedicated to providing you and your staff with the tools and guidance needed to operate and grow a prosperous business built on the proven operations and management systems of St. Louis Bar and Grill.

Prior to store opening, our franchisees are provided with a two week comprehensive Back-of-House training program involving hands-on training in areas such as inventory management, food preparation and presentation, equipment set-up and maintenance.

This is followed by an extensive four week Front-of-House training curriculum highlighting the skills needed to deliver our exceptional service practices in bartending, table service, bus service and hosting. In addition, three line cooks employed by the franchisee will receive two weeks of training and all regular staff will receive three days of pre-opening training.

An easy-to-follow Operations Manual covering every aspect of the St. Louis Bar and Grill system is also provided to you.
