If I were to take (the) President and his family to dinner and the choice were up to me, it would be Steak 'n Shake — and they would be delighted. - Roger Ebert

Steak ’n Shake® has two alternatives to build out a new restaurant, each spotlighting a range of investment options and floor plans:


The new Steak 'n Shake design entertains guests by providing the theater to showcase the production of our famed made-to-order Steakburgers™ and tasty hand-dipped milk shakes.

Square Footage:
  • Building – 3,400 square feet with drive-thru
  • Land – Approximately one acre

Dining Area & Menu:
  • Dining area of 94 seats plus a quick serving drive-thru
  • Open 24 hours, seven days a week, with full menu

 


Steak ’n Shake Signature is a new format that provides prospective franchisees with the opportunity to own a Steak ’n Shake at a less costly investment, smaller footprint, and a more simplified operation centered on signature menu items.

This new more rapid counter service model is ideal for shopping centers.

Square Footage:
  • In-Line: 2,000 - 2,500 square feet
  • Non-Traditional: 500 - 800 square feet

Dining Area & Menu:
  • In-line: Signature menu with more than 50 seats
  • Non-Traditional: Signature menu with common area seating
         (e.g. food court or airport)
