DMK Burger Bar - Franchise

Overview:

DMK Burger Bar is an award-winning concept that is leading the evolution of America’s favorite meal: the burger. Founded in 2009, David Morton (legacy to Morton’s Steakhouse) and 5-times, James Beard Award Nominee, Chef Michael Kornick, believe that the burger has never, truly received the respect that it deserves.

With 100% grass-fed beef burgers, house-made turkey burgers, bison burgers, veggie & grain burgers, as well as only the finest, hand-cut russet potato fries, house-made sodas, gourmet milkshakes, locally curated beer, an extensive wine list, and a full bar, DMK provides Franchise Owners an opportunity to effectively reach customers from almost any demographic, regardless of age.

Business Models:

DMK Burger Bar Partners, David Morton, Chef Michael Kornick, and Franchise Guru, David Grossman, who joined DMK in 2017, have set out to bridge the gap between quick-service burgers and fine-dining burgers. We are able to accomplish this, effectively, through the use of three successful business models: our Full-Service Restaurant Model, our Food Court Model, and our Non-Traditional Site Model (we have two of these models currently in Soldier Field). These three business models allow our Franchise Partners the flexibility to grow their own businesses and take advantage of multiple revenue streams and cross-marketing opportunities.

With our three proven business models and the right Franchise Partners, we are taking Chicago’s best, award-winning burgers, fries, and shakes global.
