What Bioburger does

Bioburger is a French fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in 100% organic burgers, fries, and sundaes, founded in 2011 by co-founder Anthony Darré and operated under the parent company Green Food Development SAS (RCS Paris B 789 342 565). The chain operates 26 restaurants across at least nine French regions — including Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Strasbourg, Nantes, Montpellier, and Aix-en-Provence — through a mixed model of 15 franchised and 11 company-owned locations, with additional openings planned through end of 2025. Its product portfolio spans organic beef burgers (Original, Bacon Cheese, Avocado Bacon, Morbier, Halloumi, Le Cheese), vegetarian options (Rustique, Green Morbier), seasonally rotating vegan recipes, and chicken burgers, plus a BB Kids family menu.

The company monetizes through restaurant sales (dine-in, Click & Collect, and Uber Eats delivery), franchise royalties from its 15 franchisees, and ancillary services such as the Régale loyalty program (82,000 members, target 100,000) with €5 referral incentives. Menu items are priced around €12.50–15 with a €10 minimum for online orders; student discounts are available. Operational and digital infrastructure includes the Traqfood HACCP compliance platform, Mérieux NutriSciences for quarterly food safety audits, an ingredient traceability system tied to the UNEBIO beef cooperative and Salaison Bio Valeur pork supplier, the ZeroSix-powered loyalty app, and Stripe/Zelty payment processing on bioburger.fr.

Bioburger serves eco-conscious consumers, families with children, flexitarians/vegetarians/vegans, and urban professionals in French city centers, positioning itself as the pioneer organic fast-food concept in France. The brand was independently ranked #1 by UFC Que Choisir in a comparison of six fast-food chains and holds a 4.5/5 average Google rating across the network; 4.5 million burgers have been served cumulatively. No external institutional or PE investment is disclosed; ownership appears founder-controlled under a registered BioBurger® trademark.

Direct peers

• Shake Shack: US-born premium burger fast-casual chain serving 'better' burgers with transparent ingredient sourcing. Closest comparable in positioning (premium burger, ingredient-quality narrative, urban locations) and business model (company + franchised units, growing loyalty program), though at materially larger scale and US-listed.
• Cojean: French fast-casual chain focused on healthy, fresh, seasonal ingredients with salads, hot dishes and smoothies in urban locations. Directly comparable on French footprint, health/wellness positioning, urban professional customer base, and quick-service operating model.
• Five Guys: Premium fast-casual burger chain operating in France with fresh, made-to-order burgers and fries at a price premium to McDonald's. Closely comparable on product format (burgers + fries, dine-in/takeaway/delivery), premium pricing, and urban store footprint.

Regional players

• Big Mamma Group: France-headquartered restaurant group operating multiple premium-casual Italian restaurant brands in Paris, London and other European cities. Comparable on French footprint, premium-casual positioning, strong urban brand affinity, and multi-format/multi-brand expansion, though in full-service Italian dining rather than burger QSR.
• Pokawa: French healthy fast-casual chain specializing in poke bowls with strong urban presence in Paris and major French cities. Comparable on French footprint, healthy fast-casual positioning, urban professional target customer, and franchise-led growth model, though different core product (bowls vs burgers).
• O'Tacos: France-origin fast-food chain specializing in French-style tacos with extensive French franchise network. Comparable on French geographic footprint, franchise-led expansion, urban delivery model, and young/family demographic targeting, though different core product and conventional (not organic) positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Prêt à Manger: International chain of organic/natural food shops and cafés with strong urban European presence. Comparable on organic/natural ingredient sourcing, health-forward positioning, urban professional customer base, and prepared-food menu, though operating in a café/sandwich format rather than burger fast food.
• McDonald's France: Dominant French QSR chain with ~1,500+ restaurants, the mainstream competitor Bioburger is priced against (€5–€10 vs Bioburger's €12–15). Comparable on French footprint, dine-in/takeaway/delivery model, and franchise-led expansion, though at vastly larger scale and with a mass-market (not organic) proposition.
• Burger King France (Groupe Bertrand): Major fast-food burger chain in France operating under Groupe Bertrand master franchise. Comparable on French footprint, burger-centric menu, franchise model, and delivery partnerships, but with conventional (not organic) positioning at lower price points.

Emerging players

• Hank Burger: Paris-based 100% vegan burger restaurant that pioneered plant-based fast food in France. Comparable on French urban organic/ethical burger positioning and flexitarian consumer base, though narrower menu (vegan only) and smaller footprint than Bioburger.
