One of Flower Burger’s secrets is the self-production of the ingredients for the sandwiches. Initially, all the ingredients were made inside the store in viale Vittorio Veneto – Milan and were also delivered to the other restaurants in town. Later, there was the opening of a real laboratory in Milan for the production of bread, vegetable burgers, and desserts. The bread is strictly homemade as are the sauces and patty.
The company that manages this fast-food chain is called Tobeme Srl and in recent years it has already invoiced hundreds of thousands of euros.
Flower Burger and Buono Ventures, Francesco de Mojana’s advisory and investment company dedicated to the foodservice sector, then entered into a partnership. The purpose of this new collaboration is to develop the brand abroad also through digital services.
