Maybe you’ve always been steak-obsessed or you simply want to run your own restaurant business in a dynamic and evolving industry. Either way, we have four steakhouse restaurant franchise opportunities for you to browse. You never know - one of these could suit your career goals and financial capability perfectly and you could be running your very own unit in no time.

Steak has always been a favourite among Brits. In the UK, we spend around £49 billion a year on eating and drinking out, and steak accounts for 25 percent of our beef expenditure. Due to certain steak cuts being rather expensive, many members of the British public visit premium steakhouses on special occasions. At the same time, there are also many more affordable steakhouse restaurants that are frequented regularly. So, why not make the most of our love of steaks and start your own profitable steakhouse restaurant?

The process of preparing the perfect steak is one that requires years of experience, and involves sourcing quality cuts of meat, ageing them correctly and cooking them to perfection to create a succulent and tender steak. With great steak so hard to come by, it is no wonder that many consumers turn to established and reputable steakhouses to satisfy their craving. In this article, we’re going to consider the four top steakhouse franchises in the UK and across the globe.
