MR MIKES is a proudly Canadian full-service casual dining franchise built around the SteakhouseCasual idea: quality steakhouse favourites, approachable pricing, genuine hospitality, and a relaxed, community-first atmosphere. For franchisees, that means a brand with broad guest appeal, strong local relevance, and a concept that feels more welcoming and down-to-earth than a traditional steakhouse. Read more about MR MIKES history.
MR MIKES is a full-service casual dining franchise. It is not a fine-dining steakhouse, and it is not a fast-casual concept. MR MIKES is built to deliver a relaxed, full-service guest experience with the broad appeal of a Canadian SteakhouseCasual brand.
Yes. MR MIKES is built for communities looking for an approachable full-service dining experience with strong local relevance, broad menu appeal, and a concept that balances value, familiarity, and personality. As a proven Canadian restaurant franchise, MR MIKES is designed to perform in markets where guests want quality, comfort, and a place that feels like their own.
MR MIKES is actively exploring franchise opportunities in Canada across multiple regions: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Atlantic Canada, and Ontario. Market availability can change, so the best next step is to connect with the Development Team to review current territories and fit.
Restaurant experience is an asset, but it is not a prerequisite. MR MIKES looks for franchise partners with leadership ability, business sense, a strong hospitality mindset, and a real commitment to their community. If you are driven to succeed and comfortable operating within proven MR MIKES systems, you may still be a strong fit.
Successful MR MIKES franchisees are like AAA steaks — they all come from different cuts, but they share a lot of the same qualities. They are entrepreneurial, committed to their communities, strong team builders and leaders, business savvy, hospitality-minded, passionate about the restaurant industry, and comfortable operating within MR MIKES systems. MR MIKES generally looks for a net worth of $1M–$1.2M, with unencumbered cash equal to at least 35% of total project costs, typically in the $400K–$650K range depending on project scope.
MR MIKES is a strong fit for people who want to build a community-rooted full-service restaurant franchise with proven systems, broad guest appeal, and a brand that feels more approachable than a traditional steakhouse. It is especially well suited to operators who want to be hands-on, lead a team, and build something local with the backing of an established Canadian brand. Learn more about the MR MIKES advantage.
Cash requirements vary depending on your project scope, format, and market. MR MIKES generally looks for unencumbered cash equal to a minimum of 35% of total project costs, typically in the $400K–$650K range. The best way to understand fit for your specific opportunity is to connect with the Development Team.
The main franchise fees for MR MIKES include an initial franchise fee of $50,000 + GST or HST, a 6% royalty fee on net sales, and a 2% Brand Development Fund fee on net sales. These are the core fees associated with opening and operating a MR MIKES franchise.
The initial franchise fee is $50,000 + GST or HST. Royalty fees are 6% of net sales, and Brand Development Fund (marketing) fees are 2% of net sales.
MR MIKES provides support across site selection, real estate assistance, restaurant design, development and construction support, management training, operations, supply chain support, menu innovation, advertising and marketing support, and cost-quality control for improved profitability. In other words, it is a restaurant franchise with training and support in Canada that is built to help franchisees launch with confidence and keep growing. See the MR MIKES Rewards program.
The MR MIKES franchise process starts with an introductory conversation, followed by a review of available markets and your background and goals. From there, the process moves through application review, Discovery Day, disclosure review, franchisee conversations, leadership interviews, and final approval. It is designed to help both sides find the right fit before moving forward.
The first step is to connect with the MR MIKES Development Team. When you connect, MR MIKES will review available markets and territories and get to know more about you so the team can best match you to the right opportunity. From there, qualified candidates move through the franchise process, including application review, Discovery Day, disclosure, interviews, and approval.
Yes. MR MIKES offers restaurant conversion opportunities in Canada for independent operators and existing restaurant owners who want to level up without starting from scratch. A conversion can preserve your place in the community while giving you access to stronger systems, national and local marketing support, and a refreshed guest experience under the MR MIKES brand.
In many cases, yes. A conversion can offer substantially lower start-up costs than building and opening a new MR MIKES location, although the right path depends on the condition of the site and the overall project scope. For the right operator, it can be a smoother path to market with stronger systems and support already built in.

All information will be held in strict confidence. The completion of this form will not obligate you, your co-applicant, or MR MIKES Corporation in any manner.
