Baja Fresh kitchens don't cut any corners. While other franchise brands might not require their franchisees to prepare fresh ingredients daily, Baja Fresh goes the extra mile when it comes to high-quality food prep. If you have a background in food service, you'll likely find that your experience is helpful to you when it comes to learning the ropes of managing one of our kitchens. However, food service experience isn't a must. Rather, it's important that our franchisees be passionate about starting and growing their own business. They need to be dedicated to our "Eat Well. Live Fresh." philosophy, and enjoy enthusiasm for building a business that stands for more than just mass producing quick and easy meals. To this end, driven self-starters who are extremely motivated and work tirelessly to find solutions to problems and ensure smooth operations are the type of people who can thrive as a Baja Fresh franchisee.
