Taking El Tiempo to new markets with proven partners.
Rather than franchising one restaurant at a time, El Tiempo grants experienced, well-capitalized operators the exclusive right to develop the brand across an entire territory, in both full-service and fast-casual formats.
One exclusive partner per territory.
El Tiempo forms a joint venture, or grants a master franchise agreement, with a highly experienced multi-unit franchise company. In exchange for territorial rights and a development commitment, the partner builds and operates, or sub-franchises, a portfolio of El Tiempo restaurants on an agreed timeline.
The structure lets El Tiempo scale efficiently and protect the brand, while putting local execution in the hands of operators who already know their markets.
The partner serves as the brand's on-the-ground steward
- Site selection
- Local real estate
- Hiring
- Training
- Local marketing
- Supply chain coordination
- Day-to-day operations
- Sub-franchisee oversight
All within El Tiempo's standards, systems and recipes.
The right concept for every location.
Each territory can be developed with both formats, so partners can match the concept to the site and market while guests see one consistent El Tiempo brand.
Exclusivity earned by hitting milestones.
Tying exclusivity to a development schedule aligns El Tiempo's growth with each partner's ability to execute, and gives investors a predictable, milestone-based view of expansion.
- 01
Define the territory
A region, metro area, state or country, sized to the market and the partner's capacity.
- 02
Commit to a schedule
The partner commits to opening a minimum number of restaurants within set timeframes.
- 03
Keep exclusivity
Meeting the schedule preserves the partner's exclusive rights to develop the territory.
Operators who have scaled restaurant brands before.
El Tiempo is seeking master franchisees with proven multi-unit development experience, ideally those who hold or have held master franchise or area-development rights for other restaurant brands, in the U.S. or internationally.
