Each brand has a story, and each story told has its journey. We have just begun ours, and we want you to know us, and our vision, and to help us carve the story into the future.

As with all good stories, URBAN1886 started with a dream. The concept originated from the desire to establish a new lunch experience in Romania. But, as we have discovered later, our concept was more than that. It was about blending unique food experiences with the latest restaurant technology. This is why URBAN1886 provides a holistic customer experience. From its unique and modern design to its state-of-the-art equipment, including the RFID payment system, we are continuing to develop our story, one of a place where food meets technology.

So, what makes our place special? Let’s start with our one-of-a-kind payment system. URBAN 1886 restaurant is home to the first RFID payment system in Romania.

What is RFID you ask? Well, in technical terms RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, is a type of wireless communication that incorporates electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. And because we know that you won’t probably care about our technical explanations, let’s tell you exactly what you have to do when visiting URBAN1886.

First, you need to choose the dishes you want. There are a lot of possibilities for delightful dishes placed on five different serving lines. Then, our employees will scan your food plate over an RFID antenna that will AUTOMATICALLY charge your product and its price, sending them directly to the cash register program. Please be aware that salad plates and desserts are already scanned. You can take them directly and put them on the tray.

So, once you have all the products you want, go to the cash registers. Place the tray in the specially marked place, and on the cash register screen, you will see your products and total payment amount. Pay and enjoy your lunchtime!

What is the second thing that makes URBAN1886 special? Some dishes are cooked in front of you! Yes, you heard us right. There is a special line with all kinds of street food products that are cooked on the spot.

And have we told you about our live pizza? Fresh ingredients, fresh food made to your taste. Yes, you may have to stay in line, but it will be worth it. No more eating quickly on your lunch break. Whatever you want to eat don’t eat it at your desk, while working, or during short breaks.

You deserve a nice place and a little time to enjoy yourself!

So, just pay us a visit. Come in, say hello, and if you like us...we are always open for you Monday to Friday, from 7:00 a.m - to 4:00 p.m.
