Stand-Up Burgers training is based on our 16 years of experience in the industry. We’re there for you every step of the way.
Stand-Up Burgers is proud to be a part of the Veggie Grill family. Veggie Grill is the largest plant-based chain in the U.S., and they provide us with a national platform and infrastructure. Co-founders Kevin Boylan and T.K. Pillan founded the Veggie Grill and Stand-Up Burgers brands in 2006.
Stand-Up Burgers features a business model and comprehensive training program. Franchise investors have the advantage of being on the ground floor of the plant-based movement.
When you invest in a Stand-Up Burgers franchise opportunity, you, your Operating Principal, General Manager, and up to two Crew Lead personnel will complete our initial training program at our headquarters in Culver City, California. Training includes classroom instruction, instruction at a facility, hands-on training, remote training, and/or a self-study program.
Our four-week training program breaks down as follows:
During this week, you’ll get to know our team and trainers and learn more about our brand identity, food philosophy, product specifications review, quality assurance review, food safety, kitchen prep, receiving product, equipment usage, kitchen maintenance, cleaning and sanitation, ticket reading, station flow, and more.
In the second week, you’ll learn more about kitchen operations, including our grill equipment, grilling methods, fry equipment, frying methods, sandwich finishings, and kitchen stations.
The third week of training will teach you everything you need to know about kitchen deep cleaning and closing, FOH/expo stations, beverage stations, inventory product review, cashier and restaurant maintenance, guest experience, POS training, and other important procedures.
In the final week of training, you’ll take turns with your Crew Leaders and General Manager to open and close the restaurant for hands-on experience.
Additionally, we provide two weeks of on-site training at your Stand-Up Burgers location before you open. Operating partners and unit management personal will attend an additional 2 week training session focused on operating the business. Please refer to the FDD for specifics.
