Buy a Teriyaki Madness Franchise

Teriyaki Madness is a fast-casual restaurant franchise built around made-to-order, Asian-inspired teriyaki bowls. Founded in 2003 in Las Vegas and franchising since 2005, the brand lets customers build their own bowl by choosing a protein, base and sauce, with high-protein, low-carb and gluten-free options that suit a range of diets.

Trading as TMAD, the concept pairs two of the faster-growing foodservice categories, Asian cuisine and fast casual, in a streamlined operating model with a simple, repeatable menu. The network has grown to more than 150 shops across the U.S. and internationally, and the brand markets itself with quirky, irreverent branding aimed at younger diners.

Each location runs on a digital-forward setup that includes a loyalty program, mobile app and third-party delivery integration. The model is designed to scale, and many operators hold multi-unit development agreements rather than running a single shop.

Why buy a Teriyaki Madness Franchise?

Buying a Teriyaki Madness franchise gives an operator a recognized fast-casual brand in a resilient category: customizable, health-leaning meals that work equally well for dine-in, takeout and delivery. The build-your-own teriyaki format keeps the menu simple, which supports consistent execution and easier staff training.

The digital infrastructure (loyalty program, mobile app and delivery integrations) gives a new owner established systems rather than ones they would have to build alone, and the multi-unit development structure leaves room to expand a single shop into several. An incoming owner inherits a known consumer brand, supplier relationships and ongoing field-coaching support.

Teriyaki Madness – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Franchisees and managers complete a three-week program at TMAD University, followed by in-store support from trained field operations coaches and online training modules for ongoing staff development. Day-to-day operations run on a TMAD-branded POS and reporting system, a data dashboard with analytics, third-party delivery integrations and a loyalty program and mobile app, all backed by ongoing field coaching from business coaches. Resale buyers should confirm with TMAD what transfer training and TMAD University access is provided to incoming owners, and what POS and dashboard access carries over.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Teriyaki Madness suits a hands-on, operations-led owner who can follow a defined system, manage a fast-paced kitchen and front-of-house team and stay focused on consistency and customer experience. Restaurant experience is not required, though business or management experience helps. The brand favors engaged owner-operators and multi-unit operators who appoint a qualified managing partner, making it a good fit for community-minded leaders comfortable recruiting staff and scaling beyond a single shop.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Teriyaki Madness has appeared on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 for ten consecutive years, most recently #409 in 2026, and was also named #112 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Fastest-Growing Franchises and #95 among its 2025 Top Food Franchises. The brand won the 2024 Franchise Times Zor Award for "Best Brand to Buy," ranked #19 on Franchise Direct's Top 100 Global Franchises and has featured among Inc.'s fastest-growing private companies. For resale buyers, national recognition should be weighed alongside the specific shop's local reviews and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. fast-casual segment is one of the strongest-performing parts of the restaurant industry, a category worth well over $100 billion in annual sales that has grown faster than full-service dining as diners favor speed, customization and better-for-you options. Asian-inspired flavors and high-protein, customizable bowls sit squarely in that demand, and the category leans heavily on takeout and delivery, which proved resilient across recent economic cycles. For resale buyers, local demand depends on daypart traffic, nearby competition and a shop's digital and delivery order mix.
