About Us

We make gastronomy simpler.

Fifty Five Foods is a Türkiye-based, internationally minded multi-brand food company. Today our focus is clear: enabling suitable restaurants to launch new food concepts with the infrastructure they already have.

Why do we exist?

Making gastronomy simpler, more economically attractive and more innovative.

Many restaurants in Türkiye still have high revenue potential and unused resources. Kitchen, team, equipment and couriers are already in place — but whenever no orders or customers come in, this capacity sits idle and costs the operator money.

What is usually missing is the time, expertise and energy needed to build a new brand from scratch that puts this capacity to use.

Fifty Five Foods takes on a large part of that complexity. The partner focuses on clean execution in the kitchen; the system behind the concept is set up and supported professionally.

“A restaurant should not have to build a whole business from scratch for every new opportunity.”

We bring exciting international flavours and food ideas to local markets — in a way that is accessible, meaningful and operationally realistic.

The gap we saw

An idle kitchen costs money.

Every moment without orders or customers, resources in your restaurant sit idle — but the costs don't.

The cook waits

The kitchen team is ready, but there are no orders to prepare.
The courier waits

The courier waits for the next order to deliver.
Costs keep running

Staff, rent and energy costs continue, with or without orders.

Fifty Five Foods aims to turn this idle capacity into additional orders through new brands prepared with the same kitchen and the same team.

Our Story

An idea born in Switzerland, a system built for Türkiye.

The idea for Fifty Five Foods was born during a very strong business partnership in Switzerland. With many years of gastronomy experience, we saw a clear gap in Türkiye: restaurants have large, unused potential — and significant costs for cooks and couriers who wait when no orders come in.

Our core idea is therefore simple: to make running a restaurant in Türkiye easier in every respect. From brand to platform, from training to standardised and transparent ingredient cost calculation.

Fifty Five Foods Türkiye was founded in June 2026, and the first four locations opened with the launch. Behind us is the experience of our licence partner Just Virtual, active at more than 500 locations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland since 2017.

“Restaurants in Türkiye have huge, unused potential. When no orders come in, both the cook and the courier wait — and that waiting costs the operator money. Our goal is to make running a restaurant easier in every respect.”

Who are we?

At the intersection of food, brands, restaurants and technology.

For us, a food brand is more than a logo and a recipe. It is a scalable concept that has to work as a complete operating system — with product, costs, supply, packaging, training, platform setup, marketing, support and quality control.

Food

The centre of everything: taste and quality.
Brands

Strong concepts — together with product, recipes and identity.
Restaurants

Not distribution points, but strategic partners in the network.
Technology

The layer that makes systems simpler and scalable: automations, transparent cost calculation and partner portals.

Our Mission: We develop food brands and scalable restaurant concepts and connect them with operations, marketing, technology and a strong partner network. We build systems that make things easier for capable operators and create new economic opportunities.
Our Vision: To become an internationally established food-tech and multi-brand company that brings together its own valuable brands, selected licensed brands, a high-quality restaurant network and its own technology.

Our mission deliberately contains no guarantee of revenue, orders or profit. We promise the system, the support and the execution we control.

Our Journey

Long-term goal

A food ecosystem.

Our Values

Not wall decoration — a standard of behaviour.

Our values shape how we decide and how we work, every day.

Honesty

We don't sell what we don't believe in, and we don't make promises we can't keep.
What if we were you?

We test every decision from the other side's point of view: if we were them, would we accept this?
Quality

Growth and revenue never justify lasting low quality.
Growing together

A healthy system creates lasting value for both Fifty Five Foods and its partners.
Simplicity

We remove unnecessary complexity and build systems that make the work easier.

With Our Partners

A long-term, honest partnership.

Human in the relationship, professional in the collaboration.

Our partners are more than licensees — they are strategic parts of the network. We aim to be reachable, practical, fair and supportive.

Support first, protection when needed.

We help our partners grow. When it comes to quality and hygiene standards, we protect the brand without compromise.

Our Team

The team behind the network.
