I am Döner

About Us

I am Döner serves delicious kebabs as a classic döner, or on a lettuce or rice base. Street cart fries and drinks complete the range. 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.

It is a modern kebab shop that caters to a diverse customer range, with a menu that features the following:

• 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

With an estimated 1.3 million kebabs consumed every within the UK, this is a fantastic investment opportunity for anybody who wants a share in this fast-serve, food industry.

The Franchise Opportunity

Building on the back of its huge success and win at the UK National Kebab Awards, I am Döner is now looking for qualified F&B operators interested in franchising the brand across the UK.

I am Döner can be operated from limited seating take away stores of circa 500 sq ft or no seating food hall or food market sites of as little as 150 sq ft. It can also be stretched to a fast-casual format of about 1,000 sq ft to capture more sit-down trade in high footfall city centre areas.

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

Why You Should Invest

This franchise opportunity is suited to ambitious new operators who are passionate about expanding the I am Döner brand.

Internationally acclaimed restaurant operators and consultants have created a modern, revolutionary kebab concept that surpasses both independents and existing branded offers thanks to its unique model, which is proven to deliver industry-leading returns.


Fast-food takeaway habits built during the pandemic look set to stick in 2022 as most fast-food consumers plan to order about the same amount or more takeaways compared to the last 12 months, especially when it comes to ordering takeaways for home delivery (81%), from drive-throughs (80%), in-person (80%) and for collection (77%). Consumers are spending 22% more on takeaways and home delivery compared to before the pandemic.
