But what is a fast-casual franchise? 

What Is Fast Casual? 

A fast-casual franchise is a type of food business that straddles the line of fast food and casual dining. 

A few examples of a fast-casual franchises are: 

• Panera Bread
• Moe’s
• Einstein Bros. Bagels
• Tender Greens
• Chipotle

These companies take high-quality food and fuse it with the “fast” part of fast food. Typically with this type of business, you have the ability to dine in or eat out, and because the food is easily prepared, you only have to wait minutes for your order. 

In a fast world, these types of businesses are sweeping the nation. The combination of high-quality ingredients and food choices mixed with quick access is a perfect recipe for success. 

So if you are interested in franchising this year, here are a few fast-casual franchises for 2022! 

Zaxby’s

Zaxby’s has been franchising since 1994, so they already have a solid foundation to help their franchisors. There are 900 locations across 17 states, and it is predicted to grow in 2022! Its growth is placed at 169 on the 2022 Entrepreneurs Franchise 500 list. 

Zaxby’s offers chicken wings, chicken fingers, sandwiches, burgers, and “zalads” with a huge variety of sauce choices, making them unique from other poultry-based chains. 

Firehouse Subs

Firehouse Subs boast itself as the leader in the fast-casual sandwich industry. They recently announced that they are growing the chain by 1,200 locations over the next few years.

Noodles & Company

This fast-casual restaurant is all about alternative cuisine with its main focus on international and American noodle dishes and pasta.
