Ruffs Burger Restaurant GmbH

Ruffs Burger Restaurant GmbH operates as a burger restaurant chain providing quality burger offerings, including innovative smash burgers and fresh beef options, while also catering to vegetarian and vegan dietary preferences. Ruffs Burger specializes in gourmet burger offerings, having been founded in 2007 in Munich, Germany. The company has not undergone any significant strategic pivots and currently operates without any known subsidiaries. The CEO is Alexander Kleinhans, who has not been publicly associated with other companies.

In March 2019, Gustoso Gruppe, a portfolio company of AUCTUS Management, acquired a majority stake in Ruffs Burger. The firm has engaged in one deal to date, with the most recent transaction occurring on March 11, 2019. Ruffs Burger focuses on high-quality burger offerings, featuring fresh beef and unique creations, such as the NY Style Pastrami Smash. The product lineup includes various smash burgers prepared with 100% fresh beef, as well as vegetarian and vegan options.

The restaurant chain has over 60 points of sale across Germany, including locations in Munich, Hamburg, and Leipzig, strategically situated to provide quick gourmet dining experiences for customers. Ruffs Burger generates revenue through direct sales at its restaurants and food trucks. Customers can purchase individual burgers or combo meals on-site. The smash burgers are particularly popular, alongside sides and drinks that customers often bundle with their orders.

The company employs a pricing structure aimed at being accessible to a broad customer base, including families and young adults. Ruffs Burger is currently focused on expanding its product offerings and entering new markets. The company plans to launch new burger creations in the coming year to enhance its menu. Additionally, Ruffs Burger aims to expand its footprint in other German cities and possibly into neighboring countries by 2024.

The capital from the recent majority acquisition by Gustoso Gruppe in March 2019 will support these initiatives, enabling the company to invest in new locations and menu development.
