Bring Jon's Joint to your market.
Fresh-ground halal smash burgers, a tight menu five items carry, a late-night daypart most concepts never see, and an operating system we built ourselves. We are preparing to grow with owner-operators who want to run the real thing.
What you would be running
Four locations across Arlington, Alexandria, DC and Sterling. Hand-cut halal beef ground in house and smashed to order. A menu built around a handful of burgers people drive for, straight-cut fries and shakes. Open late, because that is when this crowd eats.
Behind the counter is the part you cannot see from the street: station-by-station training with manager sign-off, digital build specs so a Jon's Classic is the same bite at every store, live sales and labor on your phone, and inventory that tracks itself off the register.
Who we are looking for
- An owner who will be in the store, or a full-time certified general manager who will be
- Restaurant or multi-unit operating experience, or a partner who has it
- Roughly $150,000 in liquid capital and the ability to finance a buildout
- A real understanding of the halal customer and the late-night guest
- Northern Virginia, Maryland and DC first; the I-95 corridor after that
