Our Story

Our story kicks off with an epic 48-hour trip to Berlin, where the culture and kebabs blew our minds in the best way possible. It was a game-changer, and we instantly knew we had to bring those flavour-packed kebabs & hints of Berlin to the international market, so everyone could enjoy them.

And now we have a simple and powerful mission...

To Become The Number One Kebab Brand In The World

Our Values

We Live & Breathe Innovation

Icon of a lightbulb

In the QSR industry, there is an unquestionable correlation between systemisation and success. Our award-winning operating system puts us at the forefront of Kebab brands worldwide.

The most advanced kebab operating system in the world: comparable to the introduction of the conveyor oven in the pizza industry, our robotic kebab machines are a game-changing innovation.

  • Sector leading prep times: we lead the sector for order times currently running at sub 5 mins
  • Lower skill level required: no requirement for staff to learn the difficult art of cutting meat all day long
  • Reduced labour: our innovations have led to efficiencies in our restaurants including lower labour requirement
  • Increase product consistency:  perfect cuts every time

Win Win Philosophy

Icon of two people high-fiving
We believe in creating a win-win situation for everyone involved. We are of the mindset that when our franchisees win, we win too. A strong franchisee-franchisor partnership based on transparency, trust and support is the cornerstone of mutual success.
