Zoup! Eatery

We operate Zoup!® Eateries, a fast-casual restaurant concept serving soups, broth and grain bowls, salads, sandwiches, beverages, desserts, and baked-on-site bread. Our menu includes a wide variety of proprietary soups, including options that are low-fat, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan, giving customers many choices for lunch, dinner, and takeout. We serve guests in dine-in restaurants, through online ordering, by third-party delivery, and through catering orders for off-premise meals and group events. Our locations are typically in retail shopping centers and serve customers in the surrounding area. We focus on a customer-centered dining experience built around made-to-order food, convenient service, and a broad menu of fresh, specialty options.
