Five Ways to Earn
Meal Plans
Weekly pre-portioned, healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner — customizable for dietary needs.
Frozen, pre-packaged, ready-to-eat meals for quick, convenient nutrition on the busiest days.
Dine-in and carry-out favorites — burgers, flatbreads, bowls and smoothies straight off the menu.
Healthy snacks, supplements and related products merchandised throughout the store.
Healthy catering for special events — a fresh alternative to traditional event menus.
More ways to earn. More resilience.
Diversified revenue means you’re never leaning on a single daypart or product to carry the store.

When you open a Clean Eatz, you’re not just running a restaurant. You’re giving your community a place to make better choices — backed by clean food, real education, and genuine motivation.

Frequently asked Questions
Is Clean Eatz a franchise?
Yes. Clean Eatz is a franchised healthy fast-casual restaurant brand. It was co-founded by Don and Evonne Varady, began franchising in 2015, and has grown to 115+ locations across 23 states. Individual cafés are independently owned and operated by franchisees.
Who owns Clean Eatz?
Clean Eatz was co-founded by Don and Evonne Varady, who remain closely involved in the brand today. Each Clean Eatz café is independently owned and operated by a local franchisee.
What is Clean Eatz?
Clean Eatz is a healthy fast-casual restaurant brand built around fresh, balanced food and community support. A café serves dine-in and grab-n-go meals, weekly meal plans, better-for-you retail items, and catering: five ways one location earns, all under a mission to change livez through healthy living.
How many Clean Eatz locations are there?
Clean Eatz has 115+ locations across 23 states, with additional markets opening as the brand expands. Most of the country remains open territory for new franchise development.
Is Clean Eatz a chain or a franchise?
Both descriptions fit, but the distinction matters if you’re considering ownership: Clean Eatz is a franchise system, which means individual cafés are owned and operated by independent franchisees rather than by the corporate company. Of the 116 outlets open during fiscal year 2025, 114 were franchised and 2 were company-owned or affiliated.
What makes Clean Eatz different from other healthy food franchises?
Three things: five distinct revenue streams inside one small-footprint café, a mission-driven brand customers form a real relationship with, and a culture of People Over Profit that shows up in how the brand treats franchisees and customers alike. Clean Eatz also discloses detailed financial performance in Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document.
