Franchise
Bring the AZN bowl to your community.
Gluten-free Asian fast casual with the nutrition numbers printed on the menu. Wok-cooked proteins, a build-your-own line, bubble tea, and an owner-operator model built for people who want to run their own store.
A menu people can eat every week.
AZN started in Fayetteville, Georgia, with one idea: Asian food that is fast, flavorful, and gluten-free without asking guests to give anything up.
Gluten-free by default
The whole menu is built gluten-free. That is a clear reason to choose AZN over every other bowl shop on the block.
Nutrition on the menu
Protein and fiber counts sit next to each bowl, so health-minded guests can order without guessing.
Fast line, wok flavor
A build-your-own line with hot and cold stations, finished with wok-cooked proteins. Peak throughput is built for lunch rushes.
Ordering and rewards built in
Online ordering, eGift cards, and a rewards program come ready on day one, so your first guests can order and earn points right away.
A store designed for speed, and for staying a while.
Moss wall branding, warm wood, an open wok line, and self-order kiosks that keep the lunch line moving. These are our current design concepts.

Straight answers.
Do I need restaurant experience?
Restaurant experience helps, but the main requirements are strong service habits, leadership, and a willingness to run the store yourself and follow the AZN system. Training covers the rest.
Can I own more than one AZN?
Yes. Many owners start with one store and add more once the first is running well. Ask us about multi-unit development during your intro call.
Will you tell me how much I will earn?
No. We do not give earnings claims on this website. Any financial performance information we provide is in Item 19 of the Franchise Disclosure Document, and you should talk to your own accountant and attorney.
What kind of sites work for AZN?
We offer stand-alone, outdoor shopping center, and indoor shopping center formats, plus conversions of existing restaurant spaces. We review each site with you before you sign a lease.
Where can I open an AZN?
We are only offering franchises in states where we are registered or exempt. Ask us during your first call and we will tell you where we can talk about your market today.
