The Melt Cafe and Gelato Bar concept is a fresh, new experience that not only excites the customer but is also a great business opportunity. They serve traditional gelato, as well as a host of other delicious products. Gelato's intense flavors and creamy texture come from the density not the fat. In fact all our sorbetto flavors are fat free and their gelato flavors have significantly lower fat content than regular ice cream. They use milk as opposed to butter fat, and they increase the density by reducing the air content significantly as compared to regular ice cream.
German Doner Kebab (GDK) is a dynamic kebab fast food brand that
maintains a totally classic healthy approach to traditional kebabs. The
brand was established in Germany in 1989 with a vision to produce a
franchise with easy to manage systems, fresh tasty products and
excellent returns. Our mission is to provide fresh, tasty and healthy
kebabs combined with excellent customer service.
The GDK franchisee fee is £15,000, ($19,290) with the total
investment required between £200,000 - £300,000 ($257,201-385,801)
depending on the condition of the unit and size. Locations, which must
be at least 1,000 square feet and capable of generating revenues of at
least £15,000 ($19,290) a week. That means locations must have a
sufficient number of covers for dine-in and space for take-away
German Doner Kebab. Kebabs done right.
