Maid-Rite

Established in 1926, Maid-Rite has been serving up America’s favorite loose meat sandwiches for longer than any other quick serve restaurant chain has even been in business. This signature sandwich – made from fresh ground beef, seasoned to perfection and served on a warm bun – is the flagship of Maid-Rite’s well-loved menu, which also includes Broaster Chicken, Home-Style Pizza and Blue Bunny soft-serve ice cream.  The Maid-Rite menu is also affordable, with an average customer ticket size of $6.75. Maid-Rite boasts a proven track record of more than 83 years and customer loyalty to its one-of-a-kind Maid-Rite sandwich.

Maid-Rite has seen spectacular success and high growth in the last several years, retaining strong brand identity across the central and southwest United States. With recently updated 50s-style décor, Maid-Rite plans to use this store design and its unique menu offerings to propel the brand into national growth, bringing Maid-Rite’s famous loose-meat sandwich to all corners of the country through successful franchising.


Investment Required

What You Get—Training and Support

New franchisees attend Maid-Rite University, where they are educated on all aspects of managing and operating their restaurant successfully. Maid-Rite’s all-encompassing educational program is comprised of six to ten days of actual on-the-job experience at Training Center Restaurants and classroom training at corporate headquarters in Des Moines, IA. Classroom training includes topics such as customer service and food preparation, while on-the-job training consists of serving customers in a real restaurant.

As part of the franchise fee, Maid-Rite prepares the floor plan documents for the restaurant and drive-thru. Maid-Rite also trains employees on-site at the franchisee’s restaurant before and during opening.  Ongoing support includes advertising and promotions support, advanced seminars and training and inventory management.
