Our teriyaki love affair started in Seattle. Yes, Seattle, the city by the sea where you can find everything from grunge rock to a coffee shop on just about every corner. This is where we discovered the delicious secret of authentic teriyaki.
Our founders spent years mastering marinating, grilling, chopping, and wok-ing, before setting out to bring hearty, delicious teriyaki to new neighborhoods. In 2003, CEO Michael Haith took over Teriyaki Madness and began the company’s slow and smart growth.
For 20 years, we hand-picked the right people with the fire to grow TMAD. We built shops, processes, technology, and programs to set up a solid infrastructure. Once we established a strong, successful business model, we began franchising, bringing together an elite list of entrepreneurial franchisees.
We established a unique support system for our franchisees, offering unprecedented support with every aspect of operating a restaurant. Combined with our simple menu and integrated technology systems, this made TMAD a game changer in the franchising world.
Today, Teriyaki Madness boldly spans 40 states with 160+ locations. We are an award-winning franchise with no plans to slow down. As our team and franchise system has evolved, our principles have stayed the same:
We are delicious food that happens to be healthy. Not healthy food that is delicious.
Made when you order, and not a single second sooner. We’re teriyaki masters, not mind readers.
Fresh, marinated and grilled meats.
A collection of addictive sauces, made with the best ingredients.
WE’RE NOT UPSET ABOUT TERIYAKI. WE’RE JUST CRAZY, MAD IN LOVE WITH IT. LIKE, WE WOULD MARRY IT IF WE COULD, BUT IT’S ILLEGAL IN 42 STATES.
