Maui Tacos

To our franchisees, this unique brand positioning represents a marketable competitive advantage with an opportunity to distinguish your restaurant from fast food and mom-and-pop Mexican eateries. Internationally acclaimed Hawaiian chef and restaurateur Mark Ellman opened the first MAUI TACOS® in Napili, Maui in 1993. The store opened with rave reviews worldwide and was quickly followed by seven more locations opening in Maui, Oahu and the Big Island.

The legend continues today with MAUI TACOS® serving up delicious food with “Mauitude” across the mainland.

Construction

MAUI TACOS® offers prototypical layouts, designs and plans that can be tailored to your site. We have built relationships with architects and contractors across the country and we have negotiated the costs in order to reduce your investment. If you have your own infrastructure, you may use your own architect and contractor (after our approval) for the construction of your restaurant. We will assist you in this process.

Training

We offer a comprehensive training program consisting of both classroom and hands-on training in an operating MAUI TACOS® restaurant. Our training covers many facets of operating a business such as marketing, accounting, hiring policies and procedures, cash management, customer relations, and other critical business matters. Our Operations, In Store Training, Opening, and Marketing manuals are yours to continue to use and are continually updated with the latest information that can assist you.

Opening Support

Shortly before you open your first MAUI TACOS®, we will be at your store and provide one week of support to ensure that you are prepared to open, provide training for your employees, and help make certain that the opening goes smoothly. We will also assist you with a full compliment of marketing programs to generate excitement about your opening.

Marketing and Advertising

MAUI TACOS® suggests overall marketing, advertising, merchandising, and public relations programs for franchisees, advertising cooperatives and individual locations. Each program is designed to support franchisees in successfully promoting their restaurants.

Communications

You are kept informed of the latest developments in the company through regular communiqués, and you have access to our 1-888-MAUI-TACOS toll-free phone line.

Ongoing Operational Support

Even with intensive training, questions will arise. We are always available to give you practical advice. We will provide advisory and consulting services as well as make routine visits to your store to assist you in all aspects of your restaurant development, operations and marketing.
