Restaurant Brands Asia Ltd (BOM:543248) reported a 9% growth in dining traffic, driven by successful value campaigns. The company has expanded its cafe presence to 90% of its restaurants, up from 77% the previous year. Digital initiatives have been successful, with 90% of restaurants now equipped with self-ordering kiosks and a 3x increase in app transactions. The company achieved a 32% year-over-year growth in company-level EBITDA, reaching INR99.4 crores. In Indonesia, the company reported a positive 2% same-store sales growth for Burger King, indicating a potential turnaround in the market. Despite adding 250 to 270 stores since FY22, the average daily sales (ADS) have remained stagnant, indicating challenges in increasing per-store sales. The Indonesia business continues to face challenges, with restaurant-level pre-investment margins declining year-over-year. Inflation in beef prices and currency devaluation have negatively impacted the profitability of the Indonesia operations. The company has had to close 36 restaurants in Indonesia as part of its rationalization efforts, indicating ongoing operational challenges. There is uncertainty regarding the long-term strategic direction for the Indonesia business, with potential divestment being considered. Q: Despite adding numerous stores and cafes, why has the Average Daily Sales (ADS) remained stagnant? A: Rajeev Varman, Group CEO, explained that maintaining previous year's sales in a challenging environment is significant. The focus has been on driving profitable sales and optimizing delivery profitability, which has improved by 1%. The cafe business is new and growing, with restaurants opened in FY23 and FY24 showing incremental ADS growth. The strategy includes spreading out restaurant openings to capture more sales earlier. Q: What is the strategy to increase Average Per Customer (APC) values to boost ADS? A: Rajeev Varman stated that while traffic remains a key focus, there is a strategic plan to address APC values, which will be evident in upcoming initiatives. Innovation and continued traffic growth are central to this strategy. Q: With geopolitical tensions affecting Indonesia, what is the breakeven point, and is cash breakeven achievable this year? A: Rajeev Varman noted that positive sales trends are emerging, with dine-in ADS increasing by 10%. Cost reductions have lowered the breakeven point, and the company is working towards stopping losses, with a focus on returning to pre-geopolitical sales levels. Q: Is the recent growth in the QSR sector due to market demand or company-specific strategies? A: Rajeev Varman attributed growth to long-term strategic execution, including value propositions, cafe expansion, and innovation. The company has seen significant traffic growth over the past two years, driven by these strategies. Q: How has cost control been managed in India despite adding new stores? A: Rajeev Varman explained that various initiatives, such as utility cost reductions and self-ordering kiosks, have contributed to cost control. New restaurants take time to reach average ADS, and efficiencies are being implemented across the board.

The Home Front: The many wonders of Milan Design Week
Article content From bold debuts to nostalgic glamour, Milan Design Week 2025, which took place last month, delivered light, colour and magic. Vancouver studio A-N-D made waves, Christian Woo surprised all, Bocci showed its signature magic, and Italian brands like Minotti and Paola Lenti dazzled with retro flair and Mediterranean calm. Article content Article content Article content Article content One of the best surprises at the show was a collaboration between well-known Italian brand Zanotta and Vancouver designer Christian Woo. Article content Woo is known for his sculptural pieces and masterful woodwork, but amazed showgoers in Milan by stepping outside his usual palette, introducing bold colours and rich fabrics, says Burgers. 'It was unexpected but seamless. His clean lines and architectural forms remained, but softened with upholstery and saturated tones.' Article content It was a perfect debut for Milan Design Week, which is like a week of wonders, says Burgers. Article content 'That kind of surprise doesn't just catch your eye — it signals growth, relevance and a willingness to evolve. And in a place like Milan, that matters.' Article content Article content Tucked behind a garden gate in central Milan's Zona Vincenzo Monti, the Bocci showroom felt more like stepping into someone's home — like a friend with impeccable taste, says Burgers. Article content The Bocci apartment is set in a 20th-century residential building, with lighting installations that seamlessly integrate into the architecture. To mark Bocci's 20th anniversary, the apartment was transformed into The Numbers Between the Numbers, an immersive exhibition conceived by designer Omer Arbel and curated by David Alhadeff of architecture and design studio The Future Perfect. Article content Article content This apartment highlights one of the best things about Milan Design week, which is how the city itself transforms to become part of the who.

'Gourmet' dog treats now on the menu at DLL venues
Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL), which is in the process of being sold to private investors, has partnered with dog treat brand, Sir Woofchester's. A selection of dog-friendly treats will be on the menus at DLL's food and beverage sites across the county. The menu includes: Paw Scratchies, Bark Burgers, Sunday Roast, Bark Bangers and House Treats for Dogs. Jamie Groves, Managing Director of DLL, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Sir Woofchester's to bring these fantastic treats to our canine visitors. "Our goal has always been to provide high quality experiences for all our guests, including our canine pals, and the exciting launch of this new offering is the perfect way to ensure that our four-legged friends are just as pampered as their human companions." MORE NEWS: The new dog-friendly menu is available at 1891 Terrace - Rhyl, Beach Hut - Nova Prestatyn, Cafe 21 - North Wales Bowls Centre and Cafe R - Ruthin Craft Centre. In March, Denbighshire County Council agreed a proposal to sell DLL to private investors for £1.5million. The identity of the company behind plans to buy out DLL has been identified as River Capital, a subsidiary of the Merseyside Special investment fund (MSFI).
