About Beef O Brady's Sports Pub

Beef O Brady’s restaurants are popular family-friendly grills and sports pubs. They have a purposely designed small-town feel where sports fans can gather to enjoy a beer and cheer on their favorite teams together.

In fact, little league baseball parties and team spirit nights for local schools and universities are a regular sight at Beef O Brady’s.

The menu focuses on tasty grilled foods such as buffalo wings, fajitas, grilled shrimp, ribeye and angus beef burgers. Beef O Brady’s is well-known for its 15 different styles of boneless and bone-in wings, ranging from sweet Thai Chili and Kentucky bourbon sauces to atomic heat and lemon-pepper dry rub.

Why Choose Beef O Brady's Sports Pub?

The average royalty fee for franchises is approximately 5% to 9% of gross sales, which doesn’t take into account any discounts offered to customers. For this reason, prospective franchisees may find the relatively low royalty fees of the Beef O Brady’s brand attractive. Monthly franchise royalty fees for Beef O Brady’s franchisees are 4% of adjusted gross sales, or net sales, which takes into account returns and discounts before calculating what is owed. This can provide significant comparative savings month to month. Franchisees also contribute 2.3% for a marketing fund.

Another way the brand makes the franchising process easier for new franchisees is allowing them to pay half of the $37,890 initial fee on signing the franchise agreement and the other half only when the restaurant is ready to open and the lease agreement is signed. Beef O Brady’s locations qualify for SBA financing, which likewise helps to cover opening costs. Unlike many franchises, Beef O Brady’s allows interested parties to establish an equity partnership where each owner is only required to have a 10% stake. This can help new franchisees meet the brand’s minimum net worth and liquid capital requirements. It also lets investors with other businesses manage a diverse portfolio.

Beef O Brady’s handles many aspects of opening a new location, including real estate, site evaluation, planning, construction, equipment purchases, decorating and training. This gives franchisees a turn-key experience that simplifies the opening process. In addition to pre-opening assistance provided by a dedicated real estate manager, franchisees can also expect post-launch ongoing help from a Regional Franchise Consultant, Marketing Field Manager and Franchise Advisory Committee.

Ideal Candidate

To open a Beef O Brady’s location, or multiple locations, franchisees need to have a net worth of $450,000 and $250,000 in liquid capital. While potential owners are not required to manage the business personally, ones who are willing to dedicate significant time and attention to growing the brand are more likely to be approved as franchisees. No previous franchising or restaurant ownership experience is expected.

Due to the brand’s identity as a family-friendly restaurant that serves as a community gathering place, Beef O Brady’s especially looks for potential franchisees who are outgoing and love people. Community involvement is expected after opening, such as sponsoring youth events and local sports rallies. Owners also need to love sports, making fans and families feel right at home.
