Baydöner Restoranları A.Ş. is a Turkey-based food service and restaurant management company that operates, develops, and franchises a chain of fast-casual and casual dining restaurants specializing in traditional Turkish cuisine. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in İzmir, Turkey, the company operates under Apaz Group and manages a multi-brand restaurant portfolio serving consumer markets across shopping centers, commercial avenues, and high-density urban areas throughout Turkey as well as select international markets, including Iraq.
The company delivers its culinary offerings through three primary proprietary brand concepts: Baydöner, the flagship casual dining chain specializing in authentic İskender kebabs, sliced beef and chicken döner, meat platters, traditional soups, hot and cold side dishes, and regional desserts including künefe and rice pudding; Bursa İshakbey, a quick-service restaurant concept offering budget-friendly, high-volume döner, kebab, and sandwich menus in a self-service format; and PidebyPide, a fast-casual dining brand offering made-to-order Turkish flatbreads, assorted filled pides, and oven-baked pastries. In addition to dine-in restaurant operations, the company provides takeaway and packaging services; direct home delivery and third-party digital ordering integration; comprehensive franchise management, site selection, and partner training services; and centralized meat procurement, processing, cold-chain distribution, and quality assurance operations across its network of company-operated and franchised outlets.
In recent developments, Baydöner Restoranları A.Ş. completed its initial public offering on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker BYDNR to fund strategic expansion and operational investments. To enhance vertical integration and supply security, the company entered into an agreement to establish a dedicated meat processing and production facility in İzmir. The company has continued its domestic network expansion, scaling its total restaurant count to over 160 operational locations across its multi-brand portfolio. Furthermore, the company received regulatory approval from the Capital Markets Board and the Ministry of Trade to increase its registered capital ceiling from TRY 112.5 million to TRY 5.0 billion through 2030, establishing a financial framework to support future infrastructure, brand diversification, and franchise network growth.
