About us

ZIP Restaurant Group develops, launches, refines and perfects restaurant concepts. As a natural outgrowth of ZIP Technologies, a leading manufacturer of microbrewery and brewpub beer brewing equipment, our team has witnessed first-hand the successful strategies as well as the minor hang-ups that can mean win or lose for the investor.

These anecdotal observations that our partners and clients came to trust turned into an analytical approach grounded in research and propelled by experience. We started creating solutions to common problems, and as we developed solutions we expanded our service offering in conjunction with brewery equipment – slowly beginning to provide our partners with a complete portfolio of services including interior and exterior design, menu development and business planning of the brewery.

All this has led to the organic collection of knowledge and experience in the industry, the result of which is ZIP Restaurant Group – a company created to service your restaurant planning and launch needs, ready to offer our wealth of ideas and accumulated experience to partners in the restaurant and gastronomy industry worldwide.
