Dan Hawley is the multi-site owner and operator behind six Zambrero restaurants, and one of the driving force’s behind bringing the brand to Scotland. Originally from Australia, he relocated to Glasgow with his family to launch Zambrero’s first Scottish location. With more than 40 years of family experience in franchising behind him, Dan was naturally drawn to the model. "We love that we are a part of a start-up in Scotland! We are fortunate to be able to take what we have learnt over the years in the Australian market and focus on what has worked when we open up here, and so far it’s been a flying success."
