Franzos

About Franzos

Franzos is a British quick-service restaurant brand established in 2012, specialising in 100% halal flame-grilled piri piri chicken. Inspired by flavours from East Africa and Asia, its menu includes chicken meals, burgers, pittas and sharing platters, with marinades ranging from lemon and herb to extra hot. The concept serves customers seeking convenient meals for eating in, collection or delivery.

Franzos began franchising in 2019 and expanded beyond London when a Coventry restaurant opened in 2020. The supplied profile reports ten UK outlets, including regional locations in Milton Keynes, Telford and the Isle of Sheppey, although the current estate has not been independently verified. The franchise model offers protected territories, a five-year renewable agreement and four weeks of training. Franchise partners receive guidance on restaurant operations, budgets, food preparation and launch marketing.
