-
Proven operating systems that shorten your learning curve.
Developing effective operating procedures takes years of trial and error. We’ve already done the work. From day one, you gain access to established systems designed to minimize costly mistakes and help you operate confidently from the moment you open your doors.
-
An established brand with a proven business model.
Franchising with Hotshots significantly reduces the risk compared to building a concept from scratch. You’re investing in a brand with decades of history, a loyal customer base, and a system refined through real-world experience.
-
A faster, more efficient path to opening.
Our experience removes the guesswork from site selection, architectural design, and construction. This allows you to move from agreement to opening faster — with fewer delays, fewer missteps, and a smoother launch.
-
Comprehensive training built to prepare you for opening day.
Independent operators often spend years developing training programs. Hotshots franchisees benefit from a structured, hands-on training system built over nearly three decades, ensuring you and your team are ready to perform at a high level on day one.
-
Proven marketing strategies from day one.
Marketing is an investment — and not all investments perform equally. With nearly 30 years in business, we’ve tested what works and what doesn’t. Franchisees receive marketing strategies that are proven, repeatable, and ready to execute, eliminating wasted spend and guesswork.
-
National buying power that lowers costs.
As a Hotshots franchisee, you benefit from collective purchasing power across our growing network of locations. Strong vendor relationships help reduce costs on food, beverages, equipment, and services — savings that independent operators simply can’t access.
-
Ongoing support from experienced operators.
Our professional support team doesn’t disappear after opening. Each support specialist has years of hands-on Hotshots experience and serves as a coach and resource for franchisees. Whether it’s staffing, vendor relations, cost control, marketing, or financial review, help is always one call, text, or email away.
-
A smarter way to grow — without reinventing the wheel.
Building systems from scratch is expensive and risky. We’ve already developed the playbook — and we’re here to guide you through every step of ownership.
Customer Service Is the Foundation of the Hotshots Experience
Exceptional customer service is one of the most powerful competitive advantages in the sports bar industry. At Hotshots Sports Bar & Grill, we believe great service is simple: it starts with people who care and systems that support them.
Customer service isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into our culture, training, and daily operations. That’s why we use a simple, repeatable standard:
The Hotshots 30-2-10 Service Standard
- Guests are greeted within 30 seconds of being seated
- Drinks arrive within 2 minutes of ordering
- Food is delivered within 10 minutes of ordering
This standard is reinforced during training, daily operations, and every pre-shift meeting. When consistently practiced, it becomes second nature — shaping the culture of the business and creating an experience guests remember.
When customers feel welcomed, valued, and well-taken-care-of, they return — and they bring others with them.
