Interested in a Buddha-Full Franchise?
Do you have a passion to own and operate a plant based restaurant? It is part of a lifestyle that is very important to us and we hope it is important to you.
Do you have a strong work ethic and are willing to commit your full-time and attention to your Buddha-Full restaurant?
Have you decided to go into business? If so, a Buddha-Full franchise may be the perfect opportunity for you!
You’ve never opened a restaurant before
We will help you every step of the way. We will advise you on your location and lease, provide specifications for developing your restaurant, training you and your staff on food preparation and operations, designing your grand opening promotion, and so much more. Our first North Vancouver restaurant in Lower Lonsdale opened in 2010 and our second restaurant on Dollarton Highway opened in 2017 so you can take full advantage of our learning curve.
We leave nothing to chance
Our proactive approach ensures you have all the information you need to start your business including; installing your Point-of-Sale System (POS), applying for licenses and permits, obtaining the correct insurance coverage, setting up merchant accounts, training your employees, and providing your initial food inventory & supplies. We will be working alongside you in your Buddha-Full restaurant when it opens just to ensure that your business starts off on the right foot.
What happens after my restaurant is open for business? Our mission is to grow the Buddha-Full brand, build an ever-increasing market share and help our franchisees build restaurants that are sustainable for the long term. We will continually monitor your critical Key Performance Indicators, help you implement improvements, and carry out field inspections, to ensure that your Buddha-Full restaurant is operating at maximum performance.
To ensure your full attention is on providing a high-level of customer service and support for staff, we require you to participate personally in the operation of your business for the first two years before you can delegate the management of the business to a manager, which we must approve.

We believe that the success of a Buddha-Full restaurant in any location is tied directly to the caliber of the individual who operates it. When selecting a franchisee, we look for the following attributes and qualities:
Share our passion.
Will actively work in and manage the restaurant.
Are familiar with, and involved in, the community where the restaurant is located.
Are committed to following the System.
Have access to the funds to invest in the business.
You do not need related experience to be successful, but any food service experience you might have is a plus.
Your start-up costs include everything need to establish your franchise including tenant improvements, equipment, inventory and supplies, small-wares, signage, franchise fee and working capital. There are several financing options available including the Canada Small Business Financing Program and Equipment Lease-to-Own Programs; however, to be financially pre-qualified we require you to have a minimum of $150,000 in unencumbered funds.
We are adopting a rapid but controlled growth strategy to ensure the quality and consistency of our program and provide a strong support base for our franchisees. Our growth is currently focused on the Vancouver and the North Shore however, we will consider applications from outside those areas if they are deemed to be a viable location.
