About us

A classic reimagined.

Kaiser’s was born in Vienna in 2020 out of a passion for one of Austria’s best-known culinary classics: Kaiserschmarrn. Our idea was to reinterpret this traditional dessert and bring it to life through a modern, contemporary concept. In 2021, we opened our first store at Vienna’s Donau Zentrum. That marked the start of our journey to share Viennese culinary culture far beyond Austria’s borders.

Our roots

A piece of Austria in every portion.

Kaiserschmarrn is one of Austria’s most popular desserts and is well known far beyond its borders. According to legend, it was even among Mozart’s favourite dishes – a story that still reflects the special charm of Austrian culinary culture today. With Kaiser’s, we bring the unmistakable taste of Kaiserschmarrn to the world – freshly prepared, modern and accessible to everyone.

Our mission

Quick and affordable moments of indulgence.

We want to make Viennese culinary culture accessible to everyone – straightforward, affordable and freshly prepared. With our open show-cooking concept, guests can watch their Kaiserschmarrn being made live. Through refined processes, short waiting times and creative variations, we bring Austrian tradition together with modern gastronomy.

Our journey

From a Viennese idea to an international brand.

From the very beginning, Kaiser's® has clearly focused on Kaiser'schmarrn in its many variations, without ever losing sight of that focus.

  1. 2020

    Kaiser's is founded

    Kaiser's was founded in 2020 to bring the nation's once most-loved dessert back to life and reinvent it. Our dream was to create quick and affordable moments of indulgence for everyday life, with a product that combines tradition and innovation.

  2. 2021

    Kaiser's opens its first location

    We couldn't wait any longer. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, we opened our first Kaiser's location at Donau Zentrum in Vienna. The start was tough, but it was worth it.

  3. 2022

    Kaiser's opens its third location

    The first location is doing well given the circumstances. But it's clear to us: to be noticed in the market, we need to become better known. Together with two business partners, we open further locations in Linz, at Plus City, and in Lower Austria at the SCS.

  4. 2023

    Kaiser's grants franchise licenses

    Little by little, our product and our system win people over. Inquiries pile up. We take the leap into franchising. All our savings go into the franchise manual, franchise agreement, and consulting.

  5. 2024

    Kaiser's opens its 10th location

    We keep growing — steadily, but not too fast. Many existing employees take the step into self-employment and open their own Kaiser's location. We close the year with 10 locations.

  6. 2025

    Kaiser's expands into Germany

    We keep moving toward Germany, and in March 2025 we open our first German location in Munich. We're completely overwhelmed by the response. Now it's time to optimize the system and protect the brand.

  7. 2026

    Kaiser's opens its 30th location

    Our expansion in Germany continues. From Munich to Berlin, and from Cologne and Essen to Bremen. Slowly but surely, we're building density and close the year with 30 locations.

  8. 2026

    Kaiser's expands into Switzerland

    By chance, we meet a special person who helps us bring our brand and product to Switzerland for the first time. In March 2026, we open our first location in Spreitenbach.
