Great Steak Builds Business by Avoiding Trends

Our reputation for delivering a premium cheesesteak attracts new customers and our straightforward menu turns them into lifelong fans

Burger places selling tacos, taco establishments selling fries … you won’t see the Great Steak™ cheesesteak franchise brand jumping on the latest food craze. We have been steadily growing for more than 30 years by establishing ourselves as a consistent fan favorite with delicious, high-quality food.

Super Cheesesteak

The Great Steak franchise has capitalized on doing one thing extraordinarily well — delivering a premium cheesesteak that sandwich lovers across the country seek out on a regular basis. While many restaurants are quick to jump on the latest food craze, with confusing and complicated menus, a Great Steak cheesesteak franchise has a simple menu that is easy for consumers to understand and choose from. On the flip side, this straightforward menu is attractive to franchisees due to its ease and efficiency.

“When people decide they want a cheesesteak, they have made up their mind,” says Kari Combs, Vice President of Operations. “They don’t want to get hit with two dozen offerings that are similar, or totally different. The Great Steak menu is small but still offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to customizing an order to get it just how that customer wants it.”

This consistency also translates into consistent traffic at Great Steak locations year round because people who want a great cheesesteak sandwich know they can rely on us to fulfill that experience.

“A terrific cheesesteak is always in demand,” explains Kari Combs. “When the Great Steak cheesesteak franchise concept was launched more than 30 years ago, that was the foundation — and that’s never changed. People who want cheesesteak have learned that Great Steak can meet that need with a terrific, affordably priced sandwich. That’s why they keep coming back.”

Simple business model means lower operational costs

The fresh, made-to-order menu is simple and profitable. Because we don’t rely on food trends to boost sales, we offer a restaurant investment with low startup and operational costs.

 We also offer a more flexible model for investors than many food businesses because of our small footprint and tight-knit teams — typically no more than four employees. Additionally, running a Great Steak franchise doesn’t require prior restaurant experience. We’re all about teamwork, and being part of the Kahala Brands family, a world-class franchise industry leader, means new franchisees are walked through everything — from hiring employees and managing inventory to operating a point-of-sale system and growing the business.
