Become a location partner
Bring the
campfire
to your city.
We're looking for places — a courtyard, a garden, a terrace — and people who want to build something there with us. If you can picture Knüppelknifte at a place near you, read on.
What we're looking for
We're not looking for investors. We're looking for hands at the fire.
Knüppelknifte isn't a drop-in concept. Nobody opens a location, collects licence fees and never sees the fire again. We look for people who want to be there themselves when the first dough hits the stick.
You get a tested system. Patented fire, menu, booking tool, brand presence — all done. What we can't replace: your appetite for guests, your eye for detail and your hand on the stick.
What you get
A tested system. You don't have to invent it all yourself.
01 · Hardware
Patented fire system.
Glass wind shield, controlled gas flame, even heat. Nobody fiddles with damp wood. Set up, switch on, go.
02 · Know-how
Operations playbook.
Daily routine, sourcing, hygiene, shift planning, training your Kniftenknechte. The first 90 days are documented.
03 · Brand
Brand presence + booking tool.
Your own location page on knueppelknifte.de, live availability, multi-language, reservation tool. No web studio needed.
04 · Reach
From „Die Höhle der Löwen“.
A concept featured on national TV — with brand recognition as tailwind. You don't start from zero.
05 · Backup
Joint marketing power.
Social, press kits, opening playbook. We launch with you and stay on-site the first weeks.
Who we're looking for
The right place. The right people.
Sounds like you? Then the inquiry at the bottom of the page is a good start.
- A spot.
Courtyard, garden, terrace, inner court — ca. 80 m² for 8-12 tables, accessible, weather-protectable.
- A place that resonates.
Bochum sits at the Ruhrstadion. Your city, your hot spot — tell us.
- Operational experience.
A hospitality background helps, but isn't required. Appetite for guests & fire is required.
- Founder mindset.
You build it with us, you burn for it. We come by, we listen.
Honest, briefly
If this fits you, we're saving each other time.
- You're looking for a pure investment and never on-site.
- You want to „adjust“ menu, concept or brand colours before we even meet.
- You expect guarantees instead of partnership.
- You want to „quickly open a stick-bread shop because it's trending“.
