Embarking on a Flavorful Journey

More Than Just a Development Agreement

Pepper Lunch CEO, Troy Hooper’s enthusiasm resonates with the brand’s commitment to providing an authentic yet approachable dining experience. This domestic franchise expansion is not just a business venture, but a promise of a gastronomic adventure that’s as enjoyable as it is unique.

Fostering Franchisee Success

Pepper Lunch's franchise model is designed to streamline operations and eliminate the need for skilled labor, which significantly lowers the entry barrier for franchisees. This simplified operational blueprint not only accelerates the onboarding of new franchisees but also ensures that the essence of 'DIY Teppanyaki' dining is delivered consistently across all outlets.

Standing Apart in a Competitive Landscape

It's not just about offering a meal; it's about presenting an engaging, authentic, and affordable culinary adventure to every patron.
