The JRK Story
Where great careers are cooked up daily
JRK was founded by three close friends who shared a bold vision: to bring world-class food experiences to local communities while building a business rooted in passion, performance, and people. What started as a simple idea among friends quickly transformed into a dynamic and growing hospitality group.
With their combined backgrounds in operations, finance, and entrepreneurship, they’ve built JRK into one of the UK’s leading franchise partners for global restaurant brands like Slim Chickens and Wendy’s. Their journey is a testament to friendship, hard work, and an unwavering belief that with the right team, anything is possible.
