Sidecar Slider Bar is a proven full-service restaurant and bar concept built around crave-worthy sliders, chef-driven comfort food, and a standout beverage program. With eight successful company-operated locations across Metro Detroit, Sidecar has refined a model that blends operational discipline with an energetic, hospitality-first culture.

This isn’t a trend-driven concept. It’s a repeatable, scalable restaurant brand designed for owners who want a recognizable identity and the support of an experienced team that knows how to run restaurants.

Why Sidecar Slider Bar Stands Out

A founding team with over 100 years of operational experience Sidecar was built for growth, with systems, sourcing, and support designed to help franchisees open confidently and operate efficiently.

Proven, Full-Service Model

Eight company-operated locations have validated the concept, menu, and operational playbook in real markets, not test kitchens.

High-Impact Menu with Broad Appeal

Signature sliders made with USDA-certified beef, hand-breaded chicken, and fresh ingredients anchor a menu that also includes shareables, gourmet hot dogs, salads, and late-night favorites.

Bar Program That Drives Revenue

Craft cocktails, craft beers, and an elevated bourbon selection elevate the guest experience and increase per-visit spend.

Flexible, Scalable Footprint

Designed for 3,200, 4,500 sq. ft. spaces, Sidecar adapts well to urban, suburban, and mixed-use locations.

Hospitality-First Brand DNA

Sidecar’s success is rooted in warm service, energetic staff culture, and a space guests choose for games, happy hour, and group gatherings.

Who We’re Looking For

Sidecar Slider Bar is seeking owners who understand hospitality, value consistency, and want to build a strong local following.

Our Ideal Franchisee Is:

• Passionate about food, drinks, and guest experience
• Confident leading teams in a full service restaurant environment
• Community-oriented and relationship-driven
• Operationally minded and detail focused
• Committed to upholding Sidecar’s brand standards and culture

Restaurant or bar experience is helpful, but what matters most is leadership, accountability, and a hands-on mindset.

Support That Doesn’t Stop

Sidecar provides franchisees with structured training and ongoing support built from years of real-world restaurant operations.

Comprehensive Training Program

Two-phase training includes both classroom instruction and hands-on experience at operating Sidecar locations, covering operations, food execution, bar systems, staffing, and guest service.

Operational Guidance

From site selection support to opening preparation and ongoing operational standards, controlled by our proprietary weekly tracking system, franchisees are guided every step of the way.

Marketing & Brand Support

Franchisees receive approved branding, marketing guidance, and launch strategies designed to drive awareness and traffic locally.

Ongoing System Development

Sidecar continues refining menu items, systems, and processes to support long-term brand growth and consistency.
