Michael Haith has a 30-year career successfully building multiple, Inc. 500, global franchise brands. Consulting, serving on Boards, investing, and building companies, he has vast experience identifying, and franchising strong food and beverage concepts.
In 2013, he discovered Teriyaki Madness. A small, seven-unit regional chain with delicious and healthy food, a simple business model, a raving fan base and most importantly, the best margins he'd ever seen in his years in the restaurant industry.
He sold all of his current business interests in 2015 to acquire and focus on Teriyaki Madness. TMAD is quickly becoming a recognized success story in the fast casual restaurant industry ranking and was ranked the #1 Fastest-Growing Big Restaurant Chain by Restaurant Business last year. Quality, fresh, customizable ingredients made-to-order with large portions of delicious, healthy bowls of fresh vegetables, all-natural grilled chicken and beef, with homemade sauces and served over rice, noodles or veggies.
He has assembled a team of seasoned fast casual professionals to build the processes and systems to help franchisees expand TMAD aggressively and intelligently on a global scale. Currently more than 110 Teriyaki Shops with another 35 to open in 2022 throughout North America. TMAD has great momentum into the next decade as satisfied franchisees expand rapidly into additional shops.
The TMAD franchise community is aggressively expanding, adding additional units while inviting and supporting new franchisees to expand the brand awareness across the globe.
