Why YAYA'S?

YAYA'S utilizes an open kitchen concept. Food is cooked and prepared in view of the customer on an open gas-fired broiler. The sizzling sound of freshly cooked chicken, along with the aroma of flame broiling, provide an appetizing and appealing environment for our customers. The strong visual effects of the open-flame grills emphasize a fresh, natural, and healthy meal which reinforces the quality normally associated with broiled food products. This style of presentation positions YAYA'S as a moderately priced upscale fast food restaurant.

Good Taste Naturally

We feel that YAYA'S Flame Broiled Chicken is the healthiest and tastiest chicken in the world! To achieve the exceptionally good taste of YAYA'S chicken, we serve only farm fresh grade "A" chickens gently marinated in a secret blend of natural herbs and spices. It took years of research and testing to formulate a chicken marinade that could produce the desired taste of YAYA'S chicken. We use all natural ingredients and cook only fresh chicken- OUR CHICKEN IS NEVER FROZEN, NEVER BATTERED, NEVER FRIED IN GREASE, NEVER MARINATED IN OIL. The method of preparing fresh chicken at YAYA'S results in less calories, less fat, and less cholesterol. The flame broiled cooking process enhances taste and the nutritional value of the chicken. At YAYA'S, our chicken is as healthy as it is tasty!

Fresh Food Served Fast

The emphasis at YAYA'S is not fast food, but freshly prepared good food, served fast. The visual display provides a degree of showmanship for the customer. More importantly, customers have the benefit of seeing their order prepared individually in a time frame of approximately 30 seconds or less. This method of service adds value for the customer without inconveniencing their time schedule for dining. The customer has the option of dining in or taking out.

Continued Growth

The first YAYA'S restaurant was opened in Seminole, Florida in November 1985. The first franchised location was opened in Flint, Michigan in April of 1988. By June 2009, 16 YAYA'S locations were open and operating in Michigan and Florida. With the fast food growth in the chicken industry continuing to show strong gains, we believe the opportunity for YAYA'S growth is unlimited. The customer's health consciousness and increasing awareness of the nutritional value of flame broiled chicken is contributing to this growth.

Let's Grow Together

YAYA'S is building a multi-state network. As a franchisee, you are in business for yourself, not by yourself.

Advertising plays an important role in the growth of any business, and YAYA'S is no exception. As an owner, you must spend a portion of your gross receipts for advertising.

In return for your advertising expenditures, we will provide professional advertising materials such as newspaper, direct mail, point of purchase and outdoor advertising layouts, as well as radio and television productions.

Initially, all franchisees attend a YAYA'S training school for three weeks. Additional training for you and your staff will be available upon request. General training includes: operations instruction, personnel management, marketing, advertising, and cost controls. With the help of on-site visits, phone/email communication, and written correspondence, we will maintain a constant line of communication with you.
