3. Do I need restaurant experience?
Monster Sushi training and support programs are designed to help you develop and operate a successful Monster Sushi franchise. Restaurant management experience is important, however, a background in real estate, corporate management, or business ownership can also provide a valuable source of knowledge for many of the decisions you will be required to make as a Monster Sushi franchisee.

Monster Sushi will provide a list of approved suppliers. We require each franchise to work with pre-approved suppliers who, we know from experience, will meet your needs. Monster Sushi has built a priceless reputation on both the quality of our food, as well as our concept, and invested heavily to ensure the best sources for our products. We want our franchises to take advantage of this investment, which also provides franchises purchasing power that most other suppliers will not or can not meet.
