"German Doner Kebab is fast becoming one of the most talked about franchise opportunities around. We are in discussions with very experienced franchisees all over North America, many of whom have portfolios that include multiple household name brands. We have invested massively in putting the standards and processes in place to support our partners here in the US and Canada, so I can’t think of a more exciting or attractive franchise model to be involved with right now."

PARTNERS

"The concept of German Doner Kebab instantly appealed to me. The store concept was very attractive, and the food quality was extremely high. The fast-food market is very competitive and usually seen as unhealthy, but GDK has brought a new dimension to the kebab market by offering a quality fresh gourmet range that is also healthy.

In recent years, the doner kebab often had a somewhat tarnished reputation as something you have after one too many drinks. GDK turned this on its head.

The reaction was everything we'd hoped for. Customers kept coming back and were telling us ours were the best kebabs they had ever eaten and that they loved our set-up. People got blown away after their first bite. Like any new business, we had our challenges, but it seemed that we were on to a winner."

"The German Doner Kebab franchise is a fresh disruptive brand that is evolving into the fast casual brand of the future. It's great to be part of an exciting brand that is one of the fastest growing in the country.
 
The GDK head office has built a great team which supports us with every new restaurant opening. They spend time in the restaurants with our teams to ensure everything runs smoothly and is a great success. They also provide valuable ongoing support to me as a franchisee and my operations team.

It has completely changed my life. I have always been part of the franchising community but to be an actual franchisee is very rewarding. It's hard work, especially as we are always expanding, but it is so rewarding, and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else!"
