WHY THE COUNTER OVER OTHER BURGER FRANCHISES

The Counter® supports its franchisees at every stage of business ownership. The Counter starts by providing comprehensive training at its corporate headquarters followed by two weeks of on-site, hands-on training. Once the location is opened, The Counter provides ongoing training and monthly check-ins along with access to its best-in-class in-house marketing and PR teams to support growth.

With available opportunities in high-potential markets, a loyal brand following, and strong brand appeal that caters to different tastes and appetites, it is the prime time to become a The Counter® franchisee.

When you join The Counter®, you join the Kahala Brands family of franchise brands, providing access to a team of veteran franchise and restaurant leaders with unmatched experience in the industry. Kahala Brands’ team makes every resource available to support the growth of your business, from a robust training program and support programs, discounted goods and services from Kahala’s vendor partners, to marketing assistance and more.

The Counter® stands out from other burger concepts by allowing guests to create the burger or salad of their dreams. Guests can choose from more than 70 ingredients to customize their meal. Whether it’s a 1 lb. bison burger with smoked gouda and grilled onions or a low-carb grilled-chicken salad with fresh greens, bleu cheese and tangy Asian dressing, each meal is customized to the exact specifications of the guest. The Counter caters to virtually any dietary restriction without sacrificing taste. Vegan burgers, low-carb options, vegetarian burgers and an entire gluten-free menu offer an array of options for all guests.

The Counter® is passionate about quality. From the hormone-free and antibiotic-free beef to the made-from-scratch sauces, every menu item is prepared to the highest standard, making The Counter the go-to choice for burger connoisseurs.

Established in Santa Monica in 2003, The Counter® was conceived as an innovative twist on an American classic. From day one, The Counter’s goal has been to offer customers fresh, high-quality, gourmet burgers that can be customized to meet every guests’ specific cravings. As soon as the restaurant opened its doors for business, it was clear the concept would catch on. That’s why The Counter began franchising just two short years later, in 2005.
