Zambrero thrives on Feel Good Mex policy

We all know the benefits of eating a healthy diet, but some people find it difficult to find food which is not only good for the body, but also tastes delicious. Zambrero has solved this problem and additionally has the added bonus of allowing customers to help others who are hungry, with its inspired initiative to donate food to those in need.

This ethos makes the fast food company an ideal business venture for entrepreneurs who, while keen to make a success of being self-employed, are also conscious about the needs of others.

“Zambrero is healthy, Mexican-inspired food which also helps to stop world hunger,” said Darragh Fanning, general manager of Zambrero Ireland.

“Every burrito or bowl purchased in one of our restaurants means a meal donated to someone in need with Plate4Plate — and to date we have donated over 77 million meals and counting — we call it Feel Good Mex.”

Originally an Australian franchise, Zambrero made its way to Ireland in October 2016 and over the years the franchise has grown and now operates in 22 locations across Ireland. Its 23rd branch is to open on April 10 in Castletroy, Limerick while its 24th branch will open in Rathmines, Dublin at the start of May.

“Since our inception in 2016, we’ve experienced remarkable growth, expanding from our initial restaurant to opening our 23rd location next week,” said Fanning. “It has been an incredible journey, characterised by the addition of numerous exceptional franchisees to our network, all united in their commitment to enhancing Zambrero every day.

“Looking ahead, our vision is ambitious. We aim to reach 30 locations in Ireland by the end of 2024, further spreading our message and impact. With over 10 franchisees, some managing multiple sites, and a dedicated team of over 300 employees, Zambrero Ireland is not just a restaurant chain but a force for positive change within the community.”

Along with the many benefits of undertaking a new venture with a proven success rate, would-be franchisees can also look forward to solid support from the restaurant chain, to help them get started and work towards their own thriving business.

“At Zambrero, our dedicated head office team takes great pride in providing comprehensive support throughout every stage of your restaurant journey,” said Fanning.

“From the initial opening process, encompassing training and marketing, to ongoing operations post-launch, our hands-on approach ensures your restaurant operates at its optimal level. Our team remains readily available to address any challenges that may arise, guaranteeing smooth operations and unparalleled support for your success.

“Another crucial pillar of support within our Zambrero community stems from our network of franchisees. Over time, we’ve observed that the growth and development of new franchisees significantly benefit from their relationships with fellow franchise owners. By exchanging experiences and remaining receptive to suggestions, they cultivate a collaborative environment which fosters continuous learning and improvement.”

“This helps us to guarantee that all of our restaurants maintain the same high standards,” he said. “All Zambrero food and management training will be provided, so no experience is needed. We are looking for fun, hardworking people who want to become their own boss, so we seek individuals who aspire to build a team and grow their restaurant.
