what our franchisees have to say…

Fell in Love With the Food, Concept, & Technology

“After being in the hospitality industry for 15 years, it was apparent to me that I wanted to own my own restaurant. After much research of different concepts, we came across Crave. When I inquired I was able to speak with the founders of the company Samantha and Sal Rincione. It was apparent immediately that they had the same values and vision as my wife and I. We instantly fell in love with the food, concept, and especially technology that Crave offers its customers. When we saw Crave had won the award for “Best BBQ Franchise in the US”, we knew we had to be a part of that. We look forward to opening a location and bringing the delicious food and self-serve Beer to Raleigh.”

Part of the Crave Family

“I’ve always wanted to run my own restaurant and have been looking for the perfect franchise opportunity for myself and my wife. When I learned about Crave and gave them a call I was blown away. The menu is exactly what I was looking for and the founder Sal and Samantha, were so welcoming and answered all my questions. It took me a few months to meet the requirements to become a franchisee. They stayed by my side and helped coach and guide me so I could get to where I needed to be. When we first spoke, they told me their franchisees are like family. That when you choose Crave you not only become part of the Crave family, but the Rincione family as well. They meant it and I could not be happier about that.”

“As a franchisee of Crave Hot Dogs & BBQ, I have been truly impressed with the support and resources provided by the company. The team at Crave is always available to provide guidance and assistance, making it a joy to be a part of the franchise. I highly recommend becoming a franchisee with Crave!”

Every Day I Know I Made the Right Decision

“When I first started looking into a franchise as the next step in my career there were a lot of questions and it was so overwhelming. When I found Crave I started to ask my questions and was pleasantly surprised with their answers. It felt like they had all the right answers, I wanted to be sure, so I reached out to some of the current franchisees. They all confirmed the answers and had the nicest things to say not only about the franchise itself but about the founders. Crave is a true family oriented franchise and every day I know I made the right decision.”

Sense of Security!

After retirement from public service the race for the second half of life was on. Our visionary/partner began research on different franchises and CRAVE stood out. The hands on approach that Samantha and Sal Rincione give is huge. Their years of experience in the food service industry renders a since of security. You know you will be taken care of just like family. We are glad we chose Crave and became a part of the Crave family!
