T.T. BURGER INC.

What T.T. BURGER INC. does

T.T. Burger Inc. is a privately-held Brazilian premium fast-food chain headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, founded in 2013 as a joint venture between the Meisler and Troisgros families. The company operates a multi-brand QSR portfolio — led by the flagship T.T. Burger concept, with sub-brands Três Gordos (smash burgers, 2020), Tom Ticken (chicken, 2021), and Marola (seafood sandwiches, 2021) — alongside proprietary condiment and beverage lines including the trademarked Goiabada Ketchup and the Sacode milkshake brand. Its menu is signed by chef Thomas Troisgros, fourth generation of the Troisgros culinary dynasty, anchoring a "100% Brazilian burger" positioning with distinctive ingredients such as sweet-potato buns and goiabada-based ketchup.

The company runs entirely company-owned physical stores with no disclosed franchise or licensing program, supplemented by delivery via the iFood marketplace across each location. As of 2025, it operates 17+ storefronts concentrated in Brazil's premium urban districts across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Curitiba, Goiânia, Niterói, Macaé, Campinas, and Nova Lima. There is no proprietary technology platform beyond the iFood integration and a basic website; operations, point-of-sale, and customer engagement rely on standard QSR infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through in-store dine-in and takeout transactions plus per-order delivery commissions paid by iFood. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; menu varies by store and region. The customer base is exclusively B2C individual consumers, with segment mix concentrated in mid-to-upper-income urban diners. The company has no disclosed external institutional investors, no venture or private equity backers, no public listing, and no headquarters function beyond operational management of stores under the "Grupo T.T." corporate umbrella.
