Introducing our Co-Founder and Executive Chef - HoChan CJ Jang Recognized by Michael Simon from Iron Chef, named by Fast Casual as a Top 24 Executive multiple years in a row, identified as one of the Most Influential Restaurant CEO’s in the Country According to Nation's Restaurant News readers for 2022, and featured as a top chef by Stella Artois, CJ has become an innovative leader in his own right, pioneering with his business partner Prakash Karamchandani, a peer management operational model and creating an employee-centric, Balance Family culture rooted in technology and good-will. A large part of Balance’s menu influence comes from CJ's previous career in personal training and education in nutrition and his personal commitment to showing both returning and new guests the impact of a macro-conscious Asian diet, which means each meal is created to be veggie heavy with protein secondary. If you stop in and see CJ working hard behind the wok or assembling meals on our line, make sure to say hi and give him a thumbs up from all of us for the hard work he's put in to our delicious meals. #Restaurant #FastCasual #QSR https://lnkd.in/gGzRBv-B

About us
About Balance Grille Balance Grille is an Asian-Fusion fast-casual restaurant chain, featuring a diverse menu of build-a-bowl bowls, tacos, snacks and bubble teas. Since its founding in 2010, Balance Grille has successfully reinvented both the fast-casual concept and Asian Fusion cuisine with a refined focus on clean eating, a literal approach to menu transparency, authenticity and ahead-of-the-curve tech integration. With 4 locations open and operating throughout Ohio, and its first outside of its home state in Colorado, Balance remains committed to serving happiness through food with a focus on community-minded, customer-centric craftsmanship, from farm to kitchen to taste buds — and a real appreciation for both those enjoying and those serving its feel-good food. About Balance Farms Founded in 2019, Balance Farms is an 8,000-square-foot aquaponics farm vertically integrated into the multi-unit fast casual restaurant Balance Grille, and located in the heart of Downtown Toledo. The brainchild of Balance Grille restaurant chain Co-Founders Prakash Karamachandani and HoChan Jang, Balance Farms provides transparency to Balance Grille customers on how their food is produced, how it's grown, how it's handled, and where it comes from 365 days a year. Through the farm, fresh vegetables and herbs are supplied to Balance Grille restaurants, as well as other Toledo-area businesses and the local healthcare system, providing customers quality products right from the heart of the city.

Balance Grille Gives Back Update! Thanks to generous Balance Grille fans that donated over 36,500 Points on the app, we were able to give away over 180 bowls and snacks to charities in need! Last week, our team and Abby Kohler visited The Victory Center-Non-Profit Cancer Wellness Center, Leading Families Home; Beach House, Inc., and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio to deliver these meals. Thank you to everyone who made this possible and donated their points. A special thank you to Abby for bringing this idea to us and making it happen!

"Balance was the ideal concept to add to my brand portfolio. Not only are the bubble teas delicious, but the diversity of the menu and how customers can customize it – as bowls, snacks, or tacos – is simple to execute. I have felt supported through every step of the opening process and beyond." - Roshan Ayub, Balance Grille Dallas, TX area franchisee. Congratulations to Roshan and his team on the successful opening of his first location, Balance Grille Wylie. We had a blast working with Roshan and staff on getting things up and running and getting to know the community. We look forward to continuing to work with Roshan and grow the rising leader in asian fast casual, Balance Grille.
