The Dristor Kebap restaurant chain is preparing the first external investment round in its history, targeting funding of up to EUR 5 million to accelerate business development and technology integration. The project will include a crowdfunding campaign on the SeedBlink platform. The company, which recorded a turnover of EUR 16.09 million (RON 84.3 million) in 2025, aims to consolidate its leading position in the Romanian kebab market, a category valued at EUR 300 million, currently undergoing a process of consolidation and professionalization.<\/p>\n
To date, the expansion of the brand founded in 1999 by the Pakcan family has been achieved exclusively through profit reinvestment, equity, and bank loans. Out of the targeted funds, EUR 1.25 million will be directed toward technology, aiming to implement artificial intelligence in order management, expand the ghost kitchen concept, and automate historical units. Physical expansion plans include opening three new locations in the second half of 2026, including the network’s first drive-thru format, followed by national expansion in 2027. Currently, the group operates 12 proprietary locations and has over 300 employees, operationally supported by its own factory, Dristor Kebap Factory.<\/p>\n
In the home delivery segment, Dristor Kebap ranks third in Romania, controlling five of the top ten restaurants on delivery platforms by order volume. In the second quarter of 2026, the company surpassed the threshold of 100,000 monthly orders, a growth supported by new units in B\u0103neasa Shopping City and Orhideea. For the full year 2026, management estimates exceeding a turnover of EUR 22 million and reaching a volume of 150,000 monthly orders, relying on the consolidation of a market that remains highly fragmented compared to the burger or chicken segments.<\/p>\n
