OUR STORY

STORY OF TIMBOO CAFE, WRITTEN BY KEMAL SELÇUK TÜRKÖZ –
THE FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF CREW RESTAURANT GROUP

“A tasty and fun addiction”

Timboo Cafe was born in 2008, in Ankara, as the first brand of Crew Restaurant Group. We enhanced our experiences, particularly in the food & beverage industry, during the times we provided corporate brand consultancy to various brands for years. Then we decided to create a brand of our own where we could use our knowledge and experiences and that was when our story of “a tasty and fun addiction” started.

“A cheerful brand loved by all age groups, young and old alike, where they all feel comfortable”

In a short time, we succeeded in becoming an admired and preferred brand, owing to our dynamic and enjoyable atmosphere, menu variety, big and delicious portions, and our detail-oriented attitude.

Moreover, we have become the first restaurant preferred by families to dine out, as a child-friendly venue caring about children.

Becoming a “Love Mark” popular and loved by all age groups, young and old alike, Timboo Cafe has a total of 12 branches today, 9 in Ankara, 2 in Istanbul and 1 Konya. By 2023, we are targeting 30 branches in total, across Turkey.

“An original, appetizing and filling menu”

Timboo Café has a menu responding to food and beverage expectations of the restaurant’s guests at all hours of the day, from breakfast until dinner.

We offer a wide range of courses including filling salad varieties, pastas and giant burgers made with self-prepared burger buns and patties, as well as red and white meat varieties served with special sauces and side dishes.

“Daily production, using the best ingredients, high quality and fresh”

We love preparing original, appetizing and filling portions. The secret to our menu lies in here; we produce on a daily basis, using the highest quality, freshest and the best ingredients.

“One of the most important issues is monitoring! Monitoring and inspecting lies at the heart of it.”

We produce the dishes served at Timboo Cafe branches, on a daily basis, at our main production kitchens with HACCP certificate, under the control of Food Engineers. All products undergo quality control stages precisely, starting from the purchasing stage, until they find a place in the menu.

We are trying new menu items and products at the R&D kitchen of the headquarters, together with the chefs from our branches. We create standard recipes for the dishes, agreeing together on every detail, from the taste of the prepared dish to its plating and presentation.

“Timboo Cafe brand is the brand of smiling faces”

It is an undeniable fact that our human resources lie at the bottom of such power. We are working with a team that always thinks of the next step to achieve our goals and puts their minds, hearts and efforts into this as they believe in becoming the best of the best.

We are also aware that employee satisfaction leads to customer satisfaction. Timboo Cafe brand is the brand of smiling faces. Happy employees offer high energy, dynamism and good service, which means happy guests.

“We will be writing new success stories”

Growing and taking firm steps with our constantly improving service and production quality over the years, we maintain our sense of togetherness with our guests and our team. We have become one giant family of more than hundreds of thousands, including our teammates, guests and suppliers.

We have been building on our story, which began in Ankara, with the devoted efforts made by each of us and the importance we attach to details and we are carrying the same story into the future even more strongly by opening branches in Istanbul.

“We will continue taking firm steps towards the future.”

As we continue our efforts with the responsibility and awareness to provide the best and the most quality service all the time;

We have extended the Timboo Cafe brand from Ankara, Istanbul and Konya reaching 12 branches. Despite the economic and political fluctuations around the world and in Turkey, we have continued working without compromising our struggle and objectives and without losing heart.

We not only strengthen the leader position of Timboo Cafe, indisputably the most beloved brand in Ankara, but also prepare for opening up new branches across Turkey, particularly in Istanbul, in line with the decisions we make towards growing and our strategic objectives. By 2023, our target is to reach a total of 30 branches across Turkey.
