Japanese fast-casual teppanyaki chain Pepper Lunch is set to open multiple new locations in Orlando, Tampa, and Gainesville.
In a world where speed is king, Pepper Lunch stands out by offering not just fast-casual dining, but an unforgettable, experiential culinary adventure. This brand is revolutionizing the fast-casual scene with its DIY teppanyaki-style dining, inviting customers to “Sizzle It Your Way.”
Recognizing the consumer’s desire for memorable dining moments, Pepper Lunch has been serving up sizzling memories with its innovative teppanyaki-style concept since 1994.
Pepper Lunch, with its 508 locations in 15 countries worldwide, has become a household name across Asia and Australia, and is now tageting North America, with the announcement of another round of locations.
The Majestic Restaurant Group has signed on to develop 10 units over the next five years in and around the Orlando, Tampa and Gainesville markets, with the first location planned to open in Fall 2024, although no loction has been revealed.
Established in 1994, Pepper Lunch is one of Japan’s largest homegrown franchise restaurant brands with over 500 locations in 15 countries. Renowned for quality food served in a unique and innovative way for dining in or delivery, and with guest being able to get in, dine, and be on their way in 20 minutes for under $20, the beloved Japanese-based brand seeks experienced franchise partners to expand its proven business model and cutting-edge customer offerings across the United States.
“Growing up in Indonesia, I have familiarity and admiration for Pepper Lunch,” said managing partner, Ferdian Jap. “The opportunity to bring Pepper Lunch to our home location in Tampa, Orlando, and Gainesville is exciting as it fulfills Majestic Restaurant Group’s mission to expand Asian focused concepts.”
Instead of breaking the bank on expensive yakiniku Japanese BBQ, American diners continue to fall in love with Pepper Lunch’s affordable teppanyaki-style concept that presents the novel menu of sizzling Steaks, Curry Rice, Teriyaki and Pasta based dishes, and don’t forget the signature Pepper Rice on the brand’s patented hot iron plate. At Pepper Lunch, each guest is the MasterChef, where they can ‘Sizzle It Your Way.’
