A compact German-döner peer
Döner Haus is a German-döner quick-service system founded in 2023. The 2026 FDD row records six outlets and a 700-to-1,200-square-foot format. Its official location and franchise page shows kiosk ordering, walk-in traffic and standing-height service in compact urban stores. Those are operator descriptions; the issued filing remains the source for the ranked investment and fee figures.
The dataset’s six-shop count covers five New York locations and one in Los Angeles. That short operating history is the critical context beside every other number. It supplies fewer annual cycles, renewals, transfers and closure observations than older systems in the table. A low fee stack does not cancel that limitation.
Development is not an outlet count
The company separately publishes a development pipeline by market. Contracted units are obligations or plans, not shops trading, and they do not belong in the Item 20 unit count until the applicable disclosure records them as outlets.
The same distinction applies across the directory: GDK’s consumer locator, Doner Shack’s hold notice and any operator pipeline are dated company evidence, not substitutes for a filing’s year-end table.
Item 19 needs its population
The 2026 row records an Item 19 for a system with a short history, corporate stores and early franchised units. The yes/no badge is therefore only a prompt to read the current disclosure: which stores are included, which period is measured, whether figures are averages or individual examples, and what costs are excluded. Company sales claims outside the FDD should not be blended with the disclosed population.
The profile applies that test exactly as it does to The Great Greek, Mad for Chicken or 375° Chicken ‘n Fries. A financial representation from one or a few stores is not a system-wide franchisee forecast regardless of the brand making it.
Product and format
The public menu presents pide sandwiches, dürüm wraps and boxes over fries, salad or rice, with chicken, beef or mixed meat. These choices describe Döner Haus, not a universal definition of German döner. Halal, organic and ingredient claims should be checked against the current operator documentation and any applicable certificate rather than inferred from the category.
The investment, fee stack and Item 19 status above come from the same 2026 source used for every ranked field. The photographs and maps are permitted company materials; they do not confer authorship, approval or favorable treatment.
