Who are we
Born in the heart of Japan in 1994, Pepper Lunch introduced the world to the joy of sizzling DIY Teppanyaki, allowing our guests to craft their meals exactly as they like. The idea was simple yet powerful: to blend the premium quality of teppanyaki cuisine with the fun and accessibility of a fast-casual service model. What began in Japan quickly caught fire, spreading across Asia, Australia, and the United States. Today, Pepper Lunch has over 500 locations in 15 countries, each one a hub of culinary creativity. Franchisees love Pepper Lunch because our simple, gasless kitchen operations and no skilled, low labor model allow for easy management and high efficiency. Our patented hot plate system and strong, loyal customer base further ensure a unique, profitable business model that stands out in the fast-casual dining industry.
Why we do it
Pepper Lunch is a fast-casual dining experience that brings the excitement of teppanyaki cooking straight to the table. Central to our concept is a sizzling hot plate, heated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, letting guests cook their meals to perfection right before their eyes.
