Building Design And Layout
One of the biggest advantages in the development of a Drifter’s hamburgers franchise is the low cost build out options. Drifter’s Hamburgers can take an existing restaurant and adapt our concept to as little as 700 sq. ft. or as much as 3000 sq. ft. or more. Our goal is to combine high capacity output with as low a start up investment as possible in order to yield a high per square foot volume.

We will be available throughout the design process to help you create the most attractive and cost efficient design possible.

The basic look of Drifter’s Hamburgers building design is consistent with the product offering. Just real food, not faddish or trendy, and reflects an honest and straight forward approach that we feel transcends the building design to the product and the people of our organization.
