Oowee: Fast Food, Fast Growth

Founded & Grounded

Verity owned a sandwich business. Charlie ran nightclub nights. Both were passionate about fast food. Neither had run a takeaway before. 6 weeks later they signed the lease for their first premises, and Oowee was born.
In this episode we cover the world of fast food, charting the rise of this Bristol-based business that responded to changing consumer behaviour and food trends, including the growth of Veganism and the launch of Oowee Vegan.
From a tiny suburban kitchen to Oowee's present-day status as a national chain, Verity shares the rollercoaster ride of entering the hospitality industry, learning the hard way about how investing in kitchens and business systems can save money and reputation, and one vital piece of advice for any aspiring restauranteurs.
Presented by Andrew Parsonage, with expert analysis from Ollie Collard and Samantha Miles including the results of our listener poll - so what did you think of workplace benefit schemes?
