Schnitz is a Melbourne born, Australian food franchise operating in the fast-casual dining space, specialising in traditional Schnitzel dishes such as chicken, pork and beef schnitzel, and also offering a vegetarian patty, crumbed and cooked as a schnitzel. Schnitz offers schnitzels in a variety of formats, most notably their "wrap" and "roll" options which can be combined with a drink and their chips in a combo meal, or as a parmigiana served with or without chips and side salads. At its height Schnitz had over 73 stores in operation throughout Australia. [1] Schnitz has most of its stores in Victoria, most notably Melbourne and the inner suburbs area including the CBD. Schnitz operate a multitude of stores across regional Victoria, having opened a store in Bendigo, Central Victoria before opening a store in Shepparton in late 2018. [2] [3]

Contents

The first Schnitz store was opened in 2007 by Roman Dyduk who is joined by his two sons, Tom and Andrew in ownership and operation of the company to this day. 2016 was the most successful year for Schnitz opening stores all around Australia including Bendigo, Victoria. In 2016 Schnitz was ranked the 32nd Fastest Growing Franchise by BRW Fast Franchises after achieving 75% growth. [4] In 2017 they opened stores in Cairns, Toowoomba, Queensland and Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. [5] [6] [7] Schnitz is also planned to open a new store in the Newcastle suburb of Maitland in the 2017/2018 timeline. [8]

Schnitz currently has 69 stores located across most states of Australia which include; two in Australian Capital Territory, 11 in New South Wales, 10 in Queensland, 43 in Victoria, 2 in Western Australia and 1 in South Australia. They have yet to expand into Northern Territory or Tasmania. [9]

The pace of change in consumer preferences within the fast-casual dining space is well understood by industry insiders, [10] and potentially due to a range of factors, such as a slow implementation of a health orientated marketing strategy, or consistently receiving reviews across their store network citing extremely slow service speeds, Schnitz has reluctantly shuttered a number of stores including;
