  Initial Phone Conversation

  On this call, we will have our initial introduction and learn more about each other. For example, we will discuss what you are looking for in a franchise. What are your goals? Why are you considering Wayback Burgers? This will allow us to make the initial assessment of if you’d like to continue in the Discovery process.
• 

  Attend Our Discovery Day

  This day is a 2 hour comprehensive presentation of the franchise opportunity. You will learn more about the mission of Wayback Burgers and what we stand for. You will hear from different department leaders on our menu, construction, real estate assistance, training and support, and marketing. This is one of the most important steps in the franchise process.
