THE BUSINESS

Mexican with a mission – to combat world hunger. Every burrito or bowl sold equates to a meal donated to someone in need in the developing world through the Plate 4 Plate initiative. And for every retail item purchased, a meal is donated to someone in an underprivileged Australian community.

The menu puts the spotlight on modern, superfood ingredients. The food is freshly made with gluten- and dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan-friendly options.

The restaurant chain has more than 180 outlets across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Ireland and the US.

A three-week induction program teaches franchisees about store operations with both subject matter training, and real life in-restaurant experience.

Marketing support includes brand strategy, national marketing strategy, content and campaigns; regional marketing strategy and local area marketing support; creative material and graphic design; digital, website, social media and loyalty.

IDEAL FRANCHISEE

Someone who is passionate about the product, customer service and Zambrero’s humanitarian mission. A background in food retail is welcome but not necessary.
