ABOUT US

RULE YOUR OWN ROOST!

Red Rooster (Reds) is Australia’s first and favourite chicken shop with over 50 years of satisfying Australia’s chicken cravings. Reds is the only fast-food company in Australia that now truly specialises in both roast and fried chicken and is in an exciting time of change and innovation for the brand. As a national network of franchises, each Red Rooster restaurant is an individual small business owned and operated by a local franchisee. Not only do owners feed the local community, but they also employ locals. Through charity and sponsorships these family-owned businesses give back to the community and are a much-loved fixture nationwide.

In an industry saturated with international quick service food options, Red Rooster represents iconic Aussie status, and we’re only just getting started. Classic food franchises in Australia don’t get more iconic than Red Rooster. With over 345 stores Australia wide, Red Rooster is one of the most recognised food franchises. A staple Australian brand for decades, the modern Red Rooster draws from its well-loved history while moving into its innovative future.

With 360+ restaurants across the country, serving over 15 million chickens a year, we are one of Australia’s most popular fast-food outlets. You’ll find us across cities, suburbs, regional and rural Australia as shop fronts, drive thru’s and food courts.
