Dae Gee has been featured on Food Network numerous times and our Founder is a fan favorite on Guy Fieri’s “Drivers, Dive-Ins, and Dives.” A commissary kitchen eliminates the majority of food prep for our franchisees, which allows them to run a lean and mean machine that can be successful for years to come! The Commissary kitchen allows consistency in product. Zees don’t have to worry about mixing sauces, marinades, or side dishes. Everything the owner needs is created at our central kitchen and shipped to the owner. This eliminates error and food waste for owners.

A niche spot in a fast-growing sector of American cuisine and culture! Korean dinner is all about communal living. When sharing sides and expertly seasoned beef off the grill, you tend to rub elbows with your neighbor. Working for the health of your community plays a key role in attracting new collaborators, new customers, building brand loyalty, and ultimately changing the world. We want you to come Pig Out with us! Take an adventure, get a little dirty, dance like nobody’s watching, eat like nobody’s watching, eat while dancing like nobody’s watching.
