The Plant Cafe Organic is more than a restaurant; it’s a movement. As one of the only fast casual brands built entirely around 100% organic ingredients and ethical sourcing, The Plant Cafe Organic offers a rare opportunity to franchise with a concept that’s rooted in wellness, integrity, and long-term relevance.
Real Food. Real Impact. Real Opportunity.
The Plant Cafe Organic is one of the only fast casual brands offering a 100% organic menu: no seed oils, no shortcuts, and no compromises.
We’re not just feeding people; we’re transforming the way they feel by embracing Food as Medicine.
Why The Plant Franchise Opportunity Stands Out:
- 100% Organic Menu - Every ingredient is certified organic, locally sourced when possible, and made from scratch.
- Flexitarian Appeal - Vegan, vegetarian, and ethically sourced meat options attract a wide customer base.
- Award-Winning Brand - Named Most Sustainable Restaurant in the Bay Area and one of Real Leaders’ Top Impact Companies.
- Proven Model - Nearly 20 years in business, with streamlined operations and multiple revenue streams. Our San Francisco franchise location has been going strong for 14 years, proving the concept’s staying power in one of the most competitive restaurant markets.
- Mission-Driven Culture - Ideal for entrepreneurs who want to align profit with purpose.
Our Mission
To make 100% organic, healthy, and sustainable food accessible to all while supporting local farmers and fostering environmental responsibility.
From our Bay Area roots to our future national footprint, every decision we make is guided by this mission—and we’re looking for franchisees who share it.
Who We’re Looking For
Our ideal franchisees are driven by more than the bottom line. They’re passionate about health, sustainability, and community.
You don’t need restaurant experience, just leadership, commitment, and a desire to make a difference through business.
