Our process is designed to take prospective Dine or Dash partners through a clear journey — from choosing the right brand and assessing the opportunity through to property, setup, training and opening.
Every opportunity is different, but the principle remains the same: understand the fit, build the right foundations and support each location through to launch and beyond.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
Dine or Dash opportunities are open to individuals, couples, families, experienced operators and investors who share the ambition to build a strong food business.
Previous hospitality or franchise experience can be valuable, but it isn’t essential for every opportunity. What matters is having the commitment, resources and capability to operate the chosen brand to the required standards.
Commercial Readiness — The financial resources required for the chosen brand, location and development plan.
Operational Commitment — A commitment to maintaining brand standards, customer experience and day-to-day operational discipline.
People & Leadership — The ability to recruit, develop and lead a capable team.
Local Understanding — An understanding of your market, customers and trading area.
Growth Mindset — The ambition to develop the business, whether that means one successful location or a wider multi-site portfolio.
YOU DON’T NEED TO START BIG. YOU NEED TO START WITH THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS.
The investment required to open a Dine or Dash location varies according to the brand, store format, property, location and individual development plan.
Rather than applying one figure across every concept, we assess the requirements of each opportunity individually.
Property — lease, deposit and associated property costs.
Fit-Out — construction, signage and brand-specific store design
Equipment — kitchen, service and operational equipment required for the concept.
Technology — EPOS, ordering and other required systems.
Opening Costs — initial stock, recruitment, training and launch preparation.
Working Capital — appropriate funding to support the business through its opening period.
Opportunities are considered across the UK, with availability determined by brand, location, market potential and the proposed development plan.
Territory structures can range from individual locations to wider multi-site development opportunities.

“What caught my attention about Dine or Dash is the thinking behind the multi-brand model. You can start with one concept, but the opportunity doesn’t necessarily end there. The wider platform gives ambitious operators a clear route to grow.”
“The shared-platform approach makes a lot of sense. Each brand can keep its own identity while technology, procurement and operational support sit behind them. It’s an interesting model for operators thinking beyond a single site.”
