Doner Haus Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

Doner Haus is bringing a global phenomenon to the U.S. and redefining fast-casual dining. In Germany, Doner Kebab is a $6 billion industry and the undisputed king of street food, yet America has barely scratched its potential. Founded in 2023 by a team with deep German roots, Doner Haus delivers the real thing at scale. We do one thing and do it right: Doner Kebab! Designed for delivery and takeaway, Doner Haus maximizes efficiency and sales while delivering a bold, authentic product that customers crave.

For franchise partners, Doner Haus represents an opportunity to lead a movement in an untapped market. Doner Kebab is already one of the most popular foods in Europe, and the U.S. is primed for its rapid expansion. Our ultra-efficient model operates in as little as 700 square feet with minimal overhead, making high-traffic locations more accessible and profitable. With no formal indoor seating requirements and a streamlined, tech-forward system, Doner Haus is built for speed and high-volume output. Our flagship location pulled in nearly $2 million in its first year with a net margin of over 19%, proving that high demand and optimized operations create a winning formula.

Franchisees benefit from a lean labor model, simplified prep, and a cost structure that keeps more profit in their pockets. With a 3% royalty and 2% marketing fee, our franchise partners enjoy one of the lowest-cost structures in the industry while growing with a brand engineered for scale. Doner Haus is not just another restaurant - it is the next big thing in fast-casual. The demand is here, the model is proven, and now is the time to bring the real German Doner experience to your market.

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.
