About I am Döner
Franchise

I am Döner is a premium award winning quick service kebab brand.

Iam Donor Franchise Carousel

Under its bold brand is a menu comprising its own Döner kebab, made with a unique bread recipe and signatory sauces, as well as salads bowls, rice bowls and street cart fries.

It is estimated that 1.3 million kebabs are consumed every day in the UK, so this is a fantastic chance to grab a piece of this large pie with a modern kebab shop featuring:

  • Halal certified, vegan & gluten free options
  • A clean, compact operation
  • Kiosk and pre-order technology
  • An inclusive and sustainable brand
  • Low food and labour costs, delivering excellent returns

Unlike the other kebab shops, this non-stereotypical kebab brand does not feature the kebab spit, which is associated with the negatives of the dirty kebab offer and a major source of food wastage and additional upfront and ongoing costs.

I am Döner is a flexible concept that can occupy as little as 150 sq ft in its kiosk format, up to 1,500 sq ft in its fast-casual setup, generating strong take away and delivery sales in any format. Customers can click and collect and order in store from self-ordering kiosks.

Capex per site is roughly half the size of other branded kebab restaurants. This, combined with very low operating costs, has historically delivered an industry-leading ROI in the existing estate.

I am Döner's history

Paul Baron started his career in the catering industry as a pot washer in a small restaurant in Lancashire when he was 16.

Iam Donor Franchise Franchisee

He worked his way up and worked in Michelin Star restaurants and ended up as a head chef in a restaurant in Clitheroe.

Paul has always been passionate about food, and it was always his dream to run his own business, and he set about doing so in 2016.

Having spent a year travelling, looking for inspiration, he decided that he did not want to create a new cuisine; instead, he wanted to focus on one that had not been showcased to its true potential.

After finding his first takeaway location in Headingley, Paul worked tirelessly for months on meat marinades, the perfect bread recipes and the perfect blend of salads and sauces to make the ultimate kebab.

In the last couple of years we have become a cashless business focussing on technology to make our business ahead of the game, scalable and seamless. We are now a kiosk led business in all stores using Vita Mojo that is integrated with aggregators and allows customers to pre-order through our click and collect service – something that was invaluable to us during the pandemic.

Making I Am Döner a unique opportunity to invest smartly in a quick-service food franchise.
