We’ve spent a lot of time studying successful operators, and 7 Brew franchisees consistently stand out.
You already understand high-volume operations, late-night demand, speed of service, and the importance of operational consistency. These are the same fundamentals that drive our strongest-performing Melt locations.
At The Melt, roughly 38–40% of sales in well-placed stores come after 8 PM. Many of our top units remain open until 2 AM or later, serving guests when most fast-casual concepts are closed. This “Melt After Dark” daypart closely mirrors the evening strength you’ve built with 7 Brew.
Our compact 1,900–2,300 sq ft inline and end-cap model pairs well with existing real estate strategies. Because we do not require drive-thrus, operators gain more flexibility in dense markets.
Current company-owned Melt restaurants average $3.4 million AUV, with the top one-third of locations averaging $5.0 million. System-wide prime costs are 55.1%. These are actual results from operating restaurants, not projections.
For operators who have already scaled a high-energy, late-night concept, The Melt offers a complementary addition rather than direct competition. Our menu — indulgent burgers, melts, crispy chicken, and hand-spun shakes — attracts a similar craveable-comfort guest without overlapping your core 7 Brew business.
We are not looking to sign every operator. We are looking for the right ones. If you’ve built a successful 7 Brew business, we would like to have a serious conversation about protected territory opportunities.
Financial performance representations in Item 19 of the The Melt’s 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document are based on company-owned restaurants only. Other than representations made in Item 19, we do not make any representations about a franchisee’s future financial performance or the past financial performance of any company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employee or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor’s management by contacting Greg Vojnovic, VP and Head of Franchising, 925 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94103, telephone 877-250-6358, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
