Franchising · Own a Hibachio
Hibachio is a family-run, fast-casual hibachi concept built around three ideas: real flames (every order on a 400° flat-top), made-to-order (nothing held under a heat lamp), and AI-powered ordering (a chat concierge that runs the front-of-house).
We started in Midlothian, TX, opened Waxahachie two years later, and have Red Oak coming next. We're now opening franchise inquiries to qualified operators in North Texas and surrounding markets. Below: what we look for in a partner, the model, and how to get a conversation started.
Prices below are starting points. Call (469) 336-7689 or use the virtual receptionist for an exact total based on your build.
Folks who've run a restaurant before — managed a kitchen, made payroll, lived through a Saturday rush. Capital matters, but so does grit and customer-first attitude. We're a small brand; we'll only sign partners we'd hire.
Build-out, equipment, brand fees, working capital — we walk through the full number on the discovery call. {TODO: confirm published franchise fee + total investment range for FDD}
North Texas first — DFW metro, Waxahachie/Ennis corridor, Burleson, Cleburne, Granbury area. Considering Austin and Houston for 2027+ if the right operator surfaces.
Eight weeks: two weeks at Midlothian, two weeks at Waxahachie, two weeks of operations + finance, two weeks of opening prep at your site. We send our team to your launch.
Yes — protected territory radius around your shop. Specific radius depends on market density and is in the FDD.
Open the chat on this site and ask about franchising — the AI will route you to the founders. Or call (469) 336-7689.
Skip the line — order with the virtual receptionist, pay through chat, walk in and grab your bag.
