Taffer’s Tavern is a restaurant concept that features what is called a hoodless kitchen. The format is based on using technology to cook food of the highest quality without the need for a commercial kitchen.

The first of five Taffer’s Taverns in the state will be built in Atlanta, with construction to start soon.

Taffer’s franchise partner is Five Guys Taverns LLC, and hopes to capitalize on the fast-casual trend in the restaurant industry.

“We were immediately drawn to the idea of ‘tavern dining’ and creating a gathering place for people that provides unique, superior menu items at an affordable price,” said Hemant Suri, Taffer’s Tavern franchisee, according to franchising.com. “Jon has managed to engineer a restaurant concept that streamlines operations without compromising the food quality, and we are thrilled to be the first franchisees for this break-out brand.”

The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.
