Brooklyn Dumpling Shop Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

With so many fast-casual concepts to choose from, it can be difficult to standout. But with the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop franchise, that isn't an issue. Since 2021, NYC restauranteur and founder Stratis Morfogen took his family’s legacy trade, the New York diner, and reinvented it. Customers can't get enough of the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop's unique menu of options, which will feature 22 flavors of dumplings 24 hours a day on Friday and Saturday. Additionally, the fast-casual concept's first featured product will highlight the diner and Chinese culture, which is near and dear to Morfogen's heart. The brand's menu features classic diner staples such as Philly Cheesesteak, The Reuben, and more. Ideal candidates have passion for customer service. In terms of awards and recognition, Brooklyn Dumpling Shop has been named to QSR’s The 40/40 List for 2021: America’s Hottest Startup Fast Casuals.
Franchise owners and customers can appreciate that the entire concept is touchless and contact-free, which keeps everyone safe. Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is the first dumpling franchise to go completely touch-free. This is possible because of an automat machine, which allows customers to order what they want, agree on a time, and then pick it up in numbered box in the restaurant.  The cooks will hit a button when the food is ready, and you can get it by presenting a QR code. The brand also has dumpling vending machines. As a franchisee, you enjoy multiple revenue streams including catering and merchandise sales. Since its founding, the brand has expanded to several locations across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with many coming soon.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
