Restaurants Franchise Real Estate About Vapiano Contact FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES Since our very first opening in Hamburg, 2002, we have grown to over 150 restaurants in Europe, the Americas, Australia and Africa. A massive part of our success over the past 19 years has been working with exceptional partners around the world. If you’re interested in becoming a partner, or just keen to know more, read on and we’ll tell you a bit about ourselves, our brand, and the search for the kind of people we like to work with. Why Vapiano Franchise Requirements Our Investment Territories Legal WHY VAPIANO? Above all else, we are a popular restaurant making incredible, quality dishes such as handmade fresh pasta, pizza (and pinsa) and insalata, where each dish is cooked to-order and can be personalised for preferences or dietary requirements. Our chefs cook all meals in open kitchens using only the finest quality ingredients and make your food exactly as you prefer it. Extra chilli? Sure. No Garlic? No problem. Our restaurants, which vary in size and shape around the world, all share one thing in common – that unique Vapiano feeling of light and open space when you walk in. There’s no place like it. From oak sharing tables decorated with fresh basil plants, relaxing lounge areas, outside terraces, and an impressive open kitchen with stations for fresh pasta, pizza and insalata, all perfect for interacting with chefs. Our guests are welcome to sit where they like and stay as long as they choose – this flexibility and freedom is one of the many reasons we are loved around the world. We live in the era of personalisation – and this is where we were way ahead of our time back when we started in 2002. Our guests are culturally diverse and while we’re popular with student and young workers, we’re also loved by families to celebrities, all sharing the common love of quality fresh food in a great restaurant, welcomed by friendly teams. FRANCHISE REQUIREMENTS We have learnt many things in our time of global growth – and one important factor is that each new city, region or country presents its own opportunities and challenges. The key to success absolutely lies with the people who lead Vapiano into the new areas. That is why we devote so much attention to attracting and choosing partners whose personal and professional qualities will make sure that the proven Vapiano brand does not get lost in translation. Rather than looking for pure investment partners, we place importance on building log term partnerships strengthened by the expertise and special knowledge of both franchisor and franchisee: Vapiano brings a successful, internationally proven growth concept, which promises great chances for success when implemented systematically; The franchisee brings their entrepreneurial skills, knowledge of the local business and cultural climate, personal network and contacts, and last but not least their personality, all of which are essential to ensuring success of the franchise in the chosen territory. This leads to the following personal characteristics which we look for in a franchisee: A clear passion for Vapiano- you really have to love what we do. Visionary and entrepreneurial thinking Self-belief Positive leadership and motivational skills Team-oriented attitude – People make Vapiano Hands-on approach and the ability to quickly acquire new knowledge Willingness and ability to work as an entrepreneur and at the same time to be part of a larger system Well-established network of local partners, authorities and opinion leaders for support and guidance Keen understanding of the local culture Desire and ability to build up a successful brand in your market Solid background in business development Operational experience in hospitality Interested?
