Matching Process
We refer to our process as “matching” because both parties need to get to know one another over a period of time in order to decide if there’s a “match.” The All American Steakhouse business model is a fun and exciting opportunity, but it’s not right for everyone nor is everyone right for it. Our 7-step matching process is key for a successful, long term partnership.
STEP ONE: GET ACQUAINTED
After you have filled out the Franchising Opportunity Form, a representative will schedule a “Get Acquainted” telephone call. Based on our conversation – we mutually will determine if we would like to speak again so that we may provide you with additional information, including A) the concept difference for The All American Steakhouse, B) business operations, location, demographics, and C) and start-up costs.
STEP TWO: REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
Upon receipt of your completed application, our executive team will review the application and if acceptable, award you the opportunity to continue through our process.

Following the initial phone call, we will schedule a concept compatibility call. This call will begin with a courtesy invitation for your spouse or supportive decision maker.
