What sets J. Gumbo’s apart from other restaurant franchises? It’s simple.

We’ve created a concept that is easy to implement in all kinds of spaces. And with a minimal equipment requirements, we’ve reduced both the complexity of the kitchen and the labor required to run it.

Getting the food to you
We cook and package our authentic Cajun & Creole menu items at our USDA-approved kitchens, remaining faithful to Billy Fox Jr.’s proven recipes. This guarantees consistency across stores and protects the J. Gumbo’s brand.

Your food order is shipped precooked to your store. You simply heat and serve. What could be easier? And with our nationwide supply chain, you can have confidence you’ll get your order when and where you need it.

Minimal kitchen, lower buy-in
Most equipment packages can be obtained for around $40,000. A typical J. Gumbo’s kitchen requires the following equipment:

• Rethermalizer for heating food
• Steam table for serving food
• Toaster for preparing French bread
• Refrigerator
• Ice machine for drinks
• Microwave oven for reheating small batches
• Automatic dishwasher (optional)
• Small freezer for storing food

That’s it. Sounds simple. And it is.
