Löwengrube

Löwengrube is an Italian chain of Bavarian beer halls and restaurants that brings the Munich beer-hall atmosphere to the Italian market — long tables, beers from Munich breweries such as Löwenbräu, Spaten, or Paulaner, and a kitchen built on pretzels, Bavarian sausages, and roast pork knuckle, rounded out with dishes closer to Italian taste. It differs from an ordinary restaurant or pizzeria in that it doesn't sell just a meal but a whole evening in the style of a Bavarian festival — with music, liter mugs, and a long table people celebrate around. The concept was born in Italy and has always assumed the Bavarian experience must work for the Italian guest: portions, service, and the rhythm of the evening are tuned to that.

As a franchisee you get a license to the brand, the complete know-how of the parent company Löwengrube, and a refined operating system — from help with selecting and assessing the location, through the design and themed fit-out of the interior, to operating manuals, recipes, team training, and centrally arranged supplies of beer and Bavarian specialties. The network offers several venue formats, from a smaller beer cellar to a large restaurant with a full kitchen, so the concept can adapt to the space and the strength of the location. What stays on you is the premises and the investment in its fit-out, hiring and leading the team, daily operations, and local marketing — this is full-scale hospitality, not a self-service counter.
