Becoming a Lone Star franchisee means joining one of New Zealand’s most iconic and enduring restaurant families.

With over three decades of proven success behind us, Lone Star has become a household name — known for hearty portions, warm hospitality, and a unique Kiwi spirit. Since opening our first restaurant more than 35 years ago, we’ve built a trusted brand that continues to grow by doing things the right way: looking after our people, delivering memorable experiences for our guests, and staying true to our roots.

As a franchise partner, you’ll benefit from this legacy — and from the extensive knowledge we’ve gathered along the way. We’ve refined our systems, our menu, and our customer approach, and we’re committed to sharing everything we’ve learned to help you succeed. You’ll receive full training, ongoing operational support, and access to our national marketing programs and supplier networks.

You don’t need to be a hospitality expert to get started — just a people person with a drive to lead, grow, and contribute to something special. With our support and your local passion, your Lone Star franchise will have the recipe for long-term success in a competitive industry.
