Franchise History

In early 2010, co-founders Prakash Karamchandani (PK) and HoChan Jang (CJ) - two buddies-turned-business-partners - shared the same simple dream: serve happiness through food.  After opening their first location, the duo’s inventive spin on the fast-casual concept hit the spot for foodies and families alike. The endlessly fresh possibilities of their pan-Asian cuisine soon put Northwest Ohio on the map - and them at the culinary cutting edge.

With a team of under 10, CJ fine-tuned his Asian-inspired fare, achieving unique flavor profiles and food pairings, while PK refined kitchen efficiencies, as well as the overall customer experience - together, continuously perfecting the details by prioritizing customer and employee feedback.

Their forward-thinking experiments with menus and operations struck the perfect balance between wholesome food that makes you feel good and indulgent flavors you crave - made quick, without sacrificing an ounce of quality. Balance Grille has a focus on clean eating, quality cuisine choices, transparency, and tech.
