THE ABSOLUTE WÜRST

Dog Haus is a bold breakout brand that's rapidly expanding across the U.S. We're willing to push the limits in order to create exciting new menu items that reflect and emphasize the creativity, spunk and badassery of our brand. Our uncompromisingly fresh ingredients, proprietary recipes, and made-to-order items are the industry's gold standard, garnering local and national press while building a cult-like following.

Dog Haus was recently honored with Nation's Restaurant News' "Menu Trendsetter" award, as part of its prestigious MenuMasters, was named #3 in FastCasual's Movers & Shakers, a Future 50 by Restaurant Business, and continues to earn critical acclaim for its signature all beef dogs and hand-crafted sausages with no added nitrates, 100% Black Angus beef burgers, and a fried chicken sandwich – all of which are made with hormone- and antibiotic-free meat and served on grilled King's Hawaiian rolls.

Dog Haus isn't fast food or fast casual; it's craft casual, a category we created that's catching on across the industry. At Dog Haus, our food and culture flow directly from our mission of providing fresh, quality food and excellent service in a clean, energetic and fun environment. Simply put, there's no place quite like Dog Haus. It's the haus that everyone wants to be in. Make our haus your home, and become a franchisee today.

HAUS STORY

Founded by longtime friends Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz and André Vener, the first Dog Haus opened in Pasadena, California in 2010. Dog Haus began franchising in 2013, and now has 30+ locations, with 10+ opening soon and 130+ sold nationwide. Thanks to our resilient infrastructure, one-of-a-kind menu offerings, the integration of cutting-edge operational technologies, and strong connection with consumers and communities, Dog Haus is at the forefront of the craft casual industry.

In addition to continuing to establish itself as a "haus"-hold name and leader in the craft casual world, Dog Haus has helped raise enough funds to provide over one million meals to kids in need through its national charity partner No Kid Hungry.
