We award franchises to candidates that we feel would be a good fit with the Island Empanada Team and will require you to follow our process before you can become an owner in the Island Empanada brand.

STEP 1: Inquire to learn more about the opportunity

STEP 2: Complete our detailed qualification form. After completing our Franchise Application, we will complete a series of phone calls and get to know each other.

STEP 3: Due Diligence and research - You should complete some research, visit us for a Discovery Day and an in-person interview. We need to make sure that we are a good fit for each other. We will discuss territory and location for your restaurant and help make sure that the Island Empanada opportunity is right for you.

STEP 4: Join our family! After we both agree that this is the right decision, we will issue franchise agreements, help you determine your search territory, and select a restaurant location. Once construction is complete, we will invite you to one of our affiliate locations for your pre-opening training. Then, we will help you take the final steps to open your Island Empanada and celebrate with your local community at your Grand Opening Event.
