At Dame Tartine, prior restaurant experience is not a prerequisite for becoming a franchisee. Sylvie Gagnon, the banner’s owner, stresses the importance of compatibility between franchisor and franchisee for a successful collaboration. During initial discussions, Sylvie asks numerous questions to assess candidates and check that they meet the franchise’s requirements. Ideal candidates must demonstrate a real passion for the restaurant business and have the financial resources to get their business off the ground. In addition, they must be willing to commit fully to the learning process offered by our comprehensive training program.

Dame Tartine is looking for motivated entrepreneurs with strong team spirit and the ability to adapt quickly. A strong sense of customer service and a willingness to respect the franchise’s quality standards are also crucial. Our franchisees must be ready to get involved in all facets of their business, from day-to-day management to innovation and local marketing.
