The restaurant realm is no exception; beyond serving delectable dishes, a winning combination involves having an amiable staff and an intriguing theme. As you dive into the realm of unique restaurant concepts, the possibilities are diverse. From cat cafes to gratuity-free establishments, the spectrum of innovative ideas appears limitless. Let’s explore some top-notch unique restaurant ideas that can elevate your franchise:
Farm to table
Aligning with the trend of supporting local businesses, the farm-to-table concept resonates with consumers interested in knowing the origins of their food. Partnering with local farms not only ensures the use of high-quality ingredients but also presents a distinctive marketing strategy. With a dynamic menu adapting to seasonal produce, your restaurant will continually offer fresh and exciting dishes, enticing customers to return for more.
Pop- up restaurants
Not ready for a permanent location? No problem! Pop-up restaurants provide an excellent “try before you buy” opportunity for new concepts. These temporary establishments offer entrepreneurs a chance to test ideas before committing to a permanent space. Cost-effective and versatile, pop-up restaurants allow for experimentation with new menus and market assessments.
Food Trucks
While not a novel idea, food trucks have undergone a modern transformation in the last 15 years, becoming a permanent fixture in the culinary landscape. Ideal for testing new restaurant concepts, they offer a more affordable entry into the market compared to permanent locations. Whether operating independently or as an extension of a brick-and-mortar establishment, food trucks provide flexibility, allowing you to reach customers in various locations throughout the day.
BYOM: Build your own meal
Embrace the “Build Your Own Meal” concept, allowing guests to customize their orders from a list of ingredients. This not only reduces the risk of incorrect orders but also lowers food costs. Whether using a paper checklist or a cafeteria-style line, this approach empowers customers to tailor their meals according to their preferences.
Be a breakfast boss
At Scramblers, we pride ourselves on having a niche concept. Most restaurants try to broaden themselves to serve a wide audience, we did the opposite. In sticking to what we know, we made it a point to be the egg-sperts in the breakfast and lunch space.
We aren’t afraid to step outside the coop, either. During the 2010s, we noticed that our customer base was getting younger – and restless. We introduced our fast-casual concept, “City Egg,” which serves a Scramblers-quality menu with modern selections like quinoa, as well as the classics, and a simplified menu.
We’ve been franchising since 2005 and have locations primarily in the Upper Midwest, but we’re on the verge of rapid expansion to other areas of the country, bringing egg-spertise of the breakfast and lunch market to new owners.
