Conclusion
52% of the group outlets in Australia and New Zealand are
leased from landlords of major shopping centers. The group also has a central kitchen which will serve the operations in Australia and New Zealand.
What I like about their operating model is the sales are generated by F&B retails and they are not overly dependent on major customers. The group will also expend into Malaysia by setting up a central kitchen and corporate office to support the business in Malaysia.
