They build and co-create next-generation restaurant brands, scaling them through franchising and licensing across various formats including high street, delivery-only, travel, and retail. Services include a 'Concept Studio' for brand development, an 'Incubator' program for early-stage concepts, and 'Pop-Ups' for validation. While AUM is not disclosed, they have raised approximately $3.77 million. Their geographic focus is the UK market, with an emphasis on early-stage concepts. The company's journey began as a virtual food hall, and its brands are optimized for delivery platforms. There is a noted discrepancy regarding its operational status, with some sources indicating liquidation while others suggest ongoing operations.
