Burger & Lobster Bank

What Burger & Lobster Bank does

Burger & Lobster Bank is a single-location fine dining restaurant and bar that has operated since 2014 in the heart of Munich's city center at Prannerstraße 11, under the legal entity Pranner 11 GmbH & Co. KG (Munich Commercial Register HRA 102202) and Managing Director Moritz Haake. The core offering is a unified hospitality experience centered on premium burgers, meat dishes, and lobster with seasonal and regional cuisine, complemented by the Buddy Love Bar sub-brand serving BLB signature cocktails, wine, and champagne. A structured menu portfolio includes the BLB Top Seller Menu, Beef Menu, Burger Menu, Lobster Menu, and Sharing Menus I–III, with vegetarian and vegan accommodations.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model with three primary revenue streams: (i) one-time food and beverage sales through the main restaurant and Buddy Love Bar, (ii) online reservations for parties of 1–10 guests via a self-serve website booking system with instant email confirmation, and (iii) custom-tailored event packages for groups of 11 or more booked through a dedicated events email ([email protected]). The venue is open daily from 6 PM including public holidays, with a capacity of up to 199 standing or 120 seated guests. Pricing is transactional and not publicly disclosed; a €150 per-person minimum spend applies to weekend reservations before 7:30 PM when the table is held to close.

The customer base spans individual dine-in guests (Munich locals, tourists, visitors), bar and lounge patrons, and event bookers including enterprise clients such as BMW, Audi, Moët & Chandon, Mumm Champagne, Conde, Colliers, Diageo, AB InBev, and Living Hotels. Marketing is executed through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook) and a WhatsApp community channel. The restaurant maintains a network of cross-promotional partnerships with sibling restaurant JACOB and other Munich venues (089 Bar, Baramsee Haus, Discobox, Hard Liquids, Aqua Monaco, Cruisefire). Technology is limited to the online reservation system, Google Maps API, and WhatsApp; no AI/ML capabilities, app, or external funding are present.

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Big Mamma Group: European upscale casual dining operator specializing in sharing-style Italian menus and signature cocktails. Comparable sharing-menu architecture, premium city-center positioning, and event-driven revenue model.
• Lobster & Burger: Independent European restaurants operating under the same lobster-and-burger hybrid concept. Closest niche-segment analogue to BLB on menu identity and premium casual positioning.

Broad incumbents

• The Ivy: Well-known upscale European full-service restaurant brand with strong event business and premium positioning. Comparable to BLB in menu tiering, signature sharing/spirits, and white-tablecloth city-center dining experience.
• Hard Rock Cafe: Global premium-casual burger and bar brand. Comparable to BLB on the burger + cocktail bar hybrid model and city-center tourist positioning, though at a much larger scale.
• Shake Shack: Premium-burger chain with cocktails and event-driven venue concepts. Comparable to BLB on premium-burger menu position and city-center real estate strategy, though at much larger scale.
• Five Guys: International premium-burger chain. Comparable to BLB on the premium-burger half of the menu and on bar/elevated-casual urban positioning, though lacking BLB's lobster and event focus.

Direct peers

• Burger & Lobster: Original UK-based premium burger-and-lobster casual dining concept. The most direct conceptual analogue to BLB's burger-meat-lobster menu, sharing-style offerings, and pricing-tiered urban dining model.
• JACOB Munich: Munich-based upscale restaurant explicitly listed as BLB's 'Partner-Restaurant' and described as the 'big brother' of Burger & Lobster Bank, suggesting shared ownership or operator and a directly comparable concept.
• 089 Bar: Listed partner bar of BLB in Munich. Comparable operator profile in the same Munich nightlife/饮 market with cross-promotion partnership, indicating similar Bavarian city-center hospitality positioning.

Regional players

• Peter Pane: German premium-burger casual dining chain. Directly comparable on regional German burger market positioning, premium casual price point, and bar-augmented dining experience.
