Testimonials

"Mad Mex is a family. We always feel supported. It starts with an induction and thorough training. It's very simple and the whole system is very friendly. Support team is always by your side."

Manish

Zetland and Castle Towers, NSW

"We were a bit nervous about going back into the world of hospitality but with Mad Mex it's like joining a closely knit family or as we call it, familia! I loved that we were able to visit a store and even jump behind the counter to experience the true Mad Mex experience before we even signed the contracts. We know everyone from all the different departments in the Support Office and have lots of support available to us."

Kim

Miranda, NSW

"Mad Mex made transitioning from an employee to business owner really smooth and easy. The complete and thorough training package accompanied with ready to go local area marketing campaigns ensured that I could focus on building my business and the customer experience which is the key to a successful restaurant. I liked that the initial sign-up process was in depth, and they really wanted to make sure I aligned with the brand, this told me that the franchisee network would be full of great advocates for the brand which turned out to be totally true!"
