You better believe we grew our bowls in 2022! What else grew in 2022? Teriyaki Madness continued global domination, adding key department heads, corporate partnerships, improved tech and training, and don’t you forget putting dollars in our franchisee’s pockets.

Experienced staff, check. Teriyaki Madness promoted from within and sought out key members to continue serving their franchisees with top-of-the-line support.

Mad University through the PlayerLync platform is an ongoing training software that each franchisee has access to train their employees between our frequent coach visits! TMAD also saw 80% of orders come from outside the four walls of the shop thanks to our customer friendly engineered TMAD App and loyalty program as well as our partnerships with OLO and Punchh to enhance our 3rd party ordering and delivery experience.
Heavier pockets, in the words of our multi-unit franchisee Robert Gonzalez, is what the TMAD support team is all about for our franchisees. A Food Truck in Lapeer, MI? Sure why not! TMAD inside of a Casino in Las Vegas, done and done! And now the finale, an innovative catering program we set up our franchisees with that grew catering year over year catering sales by a MAD 208%!
