Strong franchises are born from simple ideas. Basic elements come together to create a unique interior. Simple flavours result in life's best dishes. And a simple word from a waiter translates into the support a guest needs.
Service is above all else
We prioritise service above all else and aim to elevate the standard of Ukrainian hospitality worldwide. Because service is one of the primary factors that contribute to a positive customer experience.
Bravery

€45,000.

From €2,000 per 1 m². Investments depend on the country, city, and condition of the leased premises. We help choose premises that do not require significant investments. Opening a restaurant with the Nai franchise is twice as fast and 20% more financially advantageous than doing it independently.

1. Filling out the application form on the website, after which you will receive a message from our manager.
2. Meeting-interview with the CEO and receipt of the full financial project model.
3. Payment of the initial fee and signing of the contract.
4. Agreement on the location and start of work on launching your establishment.
