Bavava Restaurants, the operator of the Döner Haus concept, is launching a new quick service format, Döner Shack, which will be expanded by franchising, MCA understands.
Döner Shack is opening at the Trinity Kitchen in Leeds in January 2019 after agreeing terms with landlord LandSec.
MCA understands Bavava, which operates three full service Döner Haus restaurants, will look to make Döner Shack its vehicle for expansion under a franchise model, due to its smaller footprint and lower set up costs.
The concept will specialise in an elevated, German-style doner kebabs, with the debut in Leeds a kiosk-type format as part of the street-food oriented food hall.
Sanjeev Sanghera, chairman and founder, said: “Our motivation wasn’t just to be the first to market, our motivation was to develop a business model that is unique, offering the tastiest products in our sector while delivering the best margin to our franchisees.
“It’s about achieving a long term objective with happy highly engaged customers and eventually profitable and highly engaged franchisees with a firm belief that our brand is the best in the market.”
