Potatopia - Franchise

About Us

Potatopia is the only fast casual restaurant chain in its segment that targets every culture, age, and ethnicity. We have developed a simple system to provide delicious fresh food cooked in an open kitchen delivered in a fast casual environment. You have Mexican, Asian, Italian, American, that start with a carb and build a meal, well why not the potato, its versatile, healthy, and the 4th largest crop in the world. With such massive appeal, Potatopia created 10 styles of potatoes to choose from as your base and then create your own with proteins, veggies, cheeses, and a sauce making it the perfect meal.
