Franchise Concept & Key Figures

Franchising details

Ireland’s hamburger specialist, Rocket Restaurants provide a fast-casual service that expertly balances convenience with quality. They use premium ingredients with all-natural Irish meat that is always fresh, never frozen.

Delicious meals are made-to-order with a 6-minute order-service time and can be enjoyed in the upscale urban restaurants or picked up by food-runners.

Rocket Restaurants present two brands for franchise business opportunities: Rocket’s and Eddie Rockets, dependent on location and investment available.

The award-winning franchisor provides a wide menu for customers with plenty of great choices for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Its use of Fast Casual as the sole purchasing, warehousing, and distribution group ensured reliable consistency across 2.5 million burgers sold in 2016.

Eddie Rockets restaurants utilise an American retro diner format to provide for customers in high streets, shopping centres, entertainment centres and retail parks.

Rocket’s restaurants offer a smaller better-burger format that is also suitable for airports and drive-thrus. Both brands deliver exceptional value to their customers with a €9 average ticket that includes complimentary soda refills, Wi-Fi, and self-service condiments.
