Does the setting fit?
We consider the type of area, access, visibility, reasons to visit and relevant dayparts.
CURRENT LOCATION PROFILE · REAL ESTATE
What an Ekmekci location needs to support.
We do not select premises by one number. The setting, visibility, guest flows, layout, services and commercial feasibility need to work together for a full restaurant, conversion or compact format.
Markets, floor areas and technical requirements are assessed by format and property; unapproved thresholds are not published here.
INITIAL PROPERTY REVIEW
Four questions guide the assessment.
Does the space fit?
Floor area, shape, entrance, frontage and potential flow need to support a logical restaurant or compact format.
Is hospitality use feasible?
Planning use, extraction, utilities, logistics and permits always require a property- and market-specific review.
Does the timing fit?
Availability, current condition, project stage and commercial terms determine whether further work makes sense.
A positive initial view is not location approval. Technical, legal, commercial and operational feasibility are established only through further assessment.
FORMAT AND PROPERTY
Different directions require different trade-offs.
Full restaurant
Requires space for a kitchen, guest area, flow and the recognisable Ekmekci world. The specific need follows from capacity and location.
Existing hospitality premises
Existing services and fit-out may be relevant, but their condition, suitability and concept fit need review.
Compact & takeaway
May suit a different footprint where the menu, production, storage and guest flow remain operationally feasible.
WHAT TO SHARE
Start with the facts you already have.
A brochure is not required for the first step. The intake asks for the essential information the expansion team needs for a focused review.
- City and address, retail area or project name.
- Property type and indicative floor-area band.
- Current use, availability and relevant timing.
- Brief context on visibility, access, services and surroundings.
THE PROFILE IN PRACTICE
Common property questions.
What floor area does Ekmekci require?
There is no published universal minimum or maximum across all formats. Share the indicative area; we assess it with the shape, flow, services and proposed format.
Can I offer an existing restaurant?
Yes. Existing hospitality premises are one of the intake categories. Reuse depends on condition, suitability and the required adaptations.
Are new developments relevant?
Yes, a development can be considered early. Include the project stage, intended delivery, proposed unit and what has already been fixed.
Can I upload documents immediately?
The current intake deliberately has no public upload field. Start with the essential details; the team can request supporting documents securely after initial review.
REQUEST A PROPERTY REVIEW
An address is enough to begin.
Every submission goes through a human property review first. A more detailed next step follows only where the location offers enough potential.
