The brand is actively searching for new franchisees in Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.

Tin Drum’s menu is a mash up of bold flavors from Asia’s greatest hits. It features “Not In A Bowl” sidewalk sandwiches and urban garden items inspired by many Asian cultures. Some menu favorites include the Tikka Masala, Singapore Curry Noodles, Thai Curry with Coconut Milk, Korean Fried Chicken Sliders, Saigon Summer Salad, and the addictive Crab and Cheese Spring Rolls. Each meal is prepared on-order using fresh, simple and specialty Asian ingredients, served by Tin Drummer in an environment that evokes the hustle and bustle of a classic Hong Kong-style dai pai dong, or curbside café.

BIP Capital leverages its leadership team's deep franchise experience to help emerging brands accelerate growth.

The Tin Drummer Story

In ancient Asian culture, there was the “Tin Drummer,” a part newscaster and part wake-up caller. Each morning, he walked the streets banging a tin drum, gathering people at the lively café to fuel their bodies with food and their minds with current news. He became a legend, an unsung hero who connected people by the simple and unrelenting act of doing.

Today, Tin Drum celebrates the legend of the Tin Drummer, who showed how hard work alone can make a difference. We all are equal and possess the magic potential ready to unleash - “The Same Sun Shines Equally On Those Beneath.” Tin Drum provides a break to the everyday to everyone. It is a place to EXPLORE LESS ORDINARY through continental Asian products, urban curbside environment, and the life story of the Tin Drummer.

Steven Chan, CEO and founder of Tin Drum reckons that when it comes to deciding where to eat out most of the usual choices, well, are just ordinary. “Tin Drum lets you explore its choice of Asia’s greatest dishes in an urban curbside environment that allows you to BE LESS ORDINARY,” said Chan, who is one of the Atlanta’s top restaurateurs who recently opened Vogue Magazine’s 2019 most anticipated all day brunch eatery Pancake Social in Ponce City Market.
