What experience do I need to own a beer garden with Dacha Beer Garden?
Our ideal beer garden owners are visionaries who see what we see when they look at a property, who understand the importance of a sustainable product, and share our philosophy of inclusivity. We seek financially qualified people with a vision in mind for a pre-selected open space in an urban community, that would be well-suited for a Dacha Beer Garden. Preferred candidates come from hospitality management fields and are willing to work hard to bring the vision to life. Our beer gardens are fun, simply elegant, and welcoming to all people. Our franchise owners must possess a mindset for welcoming all guests and for business growth.
What is provided as part of the Dacha Beer Garden program?
Once your site is approved and you’re awarded a franchise, you will have access to online training and you and three others will spend approximately ten days with us at Dacha Beer Garden in Washington, D.C. to train in the classroom and on the job. Remote and onsite support, plus as-needed follow-up training, are also provided. In addition, you will have access to our exclusive confidential operations manual to help run your beer garden properly on a day-to-day basis.
