Sharkii Academy

At Uncle Sharkii, we take the training and support of our franchisees very seriously. That's why we've developed a comprehensive training program called Sharkii Academy, which all franchisees are required to complete. The program is designed to provide our franchisee owner with the knowledge and skills they need to successfully operate an Uncle Sharkii restaurant. But we don't stop there.

In addition to the training at Sharkii Academy, we also offer extra support to ensure a smooth launch of your restaurant. For our franchisee owners, we offer an additional 5 days of on-site training and support at their first store location. This on-site support is a great opportunity to receive hands-on training and guidance during the critical opening phase of your restaurant.

For Master Franchisees, we take our support to the next level by providing an additional 7 days of on-site support at the first franchised location opened within their given territory. Our team of experts will be on hand to provide guidance and support as needed to ensure the successful launch of your new poke restaurant. And, of course, if you need additional support, Uncle Sharkii will be there for you every step of the way.

By the end of the training program and on-site support, our franchisees will be well-prepared to handle all of Uncle Sharkii’s essential day-to-day operations, and to run a successful restaurant. We're committed to supporting your success, and we're always here to support you.
