A Different Take on Tacos
Own an elevated fast-casual with bold fresh flavors and great profit potential.
The TaKorean system is accessible to just about anyone. It requires no specialized equipment or training to consistently create a variety of delicious foods. Based on a limited inventory of readily available items, the TaKorean model lets guests create a large variety of customized meal options. Simply by switching slaws, or choosing a bowl instead of tacos, guests can enjoy diverse meals or consistently recreate their own favorite combination. Takorean’s innovative approach to QSR operations has resulted in an optimized operating model that streamlines both food production and daily managerial tasks such as bookkeeping and inventory management. This allows team leaders and staff to give their full attention to maximizing food quality and engaging the guest to create a “memorable customer experience.

Site Selection & Construction
The TaKorean business model allows for a flexible footprint with simplified, established design packages. That means you can choose the size of your restaurant that meets the needs of your community. Food court, inline strip center location, drive-thru? Whatever the local dynamic, there’s probably a TaKorean option that fits.
Training & Ongoing Support
Visit our flagship restaurant for initial training, and then we will spend time in your restaurant for onsite training to help you get started and instill confidence in your team. Once your business is up and running, count on us to be there to support you as you continue to build and grow your business, both in-person throughout the year, and via phone, text, and email.
Cutting Edge Technology
Use your time leading and delveoping your team, instead of in the office handling the technology you need to run a smooth and efficient operation. From our integrated, AI based bookkeeping, POS, and inventory system to our automated invoicing software, your business will run smoothly as you build it.
Documentation & Resources
You will have access to our confidential operations manual, a valuable tool to reference for day-to-day procedures, exclusive recipes, scheduling, reporting, and beyond.
Marketing
We can help you with branded materials and web presence, as well as appropriate local campaigns to let your community know you and your staff are ready to offer them an excellent experience and great food.
