The company delivered on its commitment to grow sales and earnings by over 20% despite some macro headwinds. Our founding belief “Wszystko Jest Możliwe” and operational excellence helped us strengthen our core business as well as build foundations for global expansion. Despite exposure to various markets, with a few notable exceptions like Russia, the overall sentiment in the global economy has been one of slowdown. Such a trend has not prevented us from expanding our business and improving our profitability. We delivered on our 20/20+ promise to grow sales at minimum 20% p.a. and our profitability at above that threshold by achieving growth of 22,5% and 46% (EBITDA), respectively. Our Sales have been traditionally driven by a combination of dynamic new store development by adding 84 restaurants, acquisitions and slight organic growth. EBITDA has been affected by many one-off events being both positive and negative for our profitability. The events such as US divestment, VAT adjustment, start-up costs related to increased pace of openings. Without these, our profit growth was still very dynamic with a 20% increase compared to last year Speaking about restaurant openings I am especially happy about Russia, where, after a couple years of stagnation, we finally succeeded in accelerating new store development in this booming market. In our broad endavors to enhance ROIC we have also launched a company-wide initiative to reduce our build cost. The first results look very promising. Our efforts to drive greater strategic alignment improve our ROIC led us to optimize our business portfolio by divesting of our Applebee’s business in the U.S. Thanks to negotiating attractive sales terms and favorable exchange rate we were able to realize a very attractive return on this investment. At the same time we released plenty of cash for the growth of the rest of our portfolio. The year 2012 was a major milestone in preparing our own brand La Tagliatella for international expansion. Opening of our first La Tagliatella restaurants in five test markets (China, USA, India, France, Germany) proved to be challenging and educational experience. With limited time of operations it is premature to draw final conclusions as to how fast and where we will want to grow this unique concept. Having said that we are extremely pleased with the quality of the guest experience and by customers initial positive reactions. We are determined to set up La Tagliatella for global success and we will spend the coming months tweaking the brand to make it even more relevant locally. Near the end of the year we acquired a majority stake in a successful Chinese restaurant company, Blue Horizon, with two established Casual Dining proprietary brands, Blue Frog and KABB. Throughout the due diligence process and post closing

    Restaurants DealReader 2H 2018 Market Insights 2018 was a busy year for M&A in the restaurant sector and appetite for investments remains robust headed into 2019. Despite recent macro variability and the sector facing a number of challenges, primarily related to traffic and minimum wage hikes, strategic acquirers, private equity groups and family offices continue to be active. Investors with multi-brand portfolios are typically seeking investments that can either provide incremental growth (particularly if their current portfolio has experienced flat-to-negative comps), expand their competencies (especially related to digital technology) or provide meaningful synergies from day one (although buyers are not as forthcoming in pricing in such synergies to the valuations). In regards to growth equity, we expect strong activity to continue in 2019, especially for differentiated fast casual concepts. Investors will continue to be interested in concepts that are on-trend (e.g., healthy, better-for- you menu), have demonstrated strong consumer engagement, have a model that is proven across multiple geographies (without any store closures) and that have a well-defined growth story in terms of scaling up.

  • Amrest Acquires Starbucks Business in Germany
    AmRest acquires Starbucks business in Germany Wroclaw, Poland, 20th April 2016, AmRest Holdings SE („AmRest”, “the Company”) (WSE: EAT), the largest publicly listed restaurant operator in Central Europe, announced today that on April 19th, 2016 the Company signed an agreement with Starbucks Coffee Company to acquire its equity stores in Germany. The transaction will come into effect as of May 23rd, 2016 and will result in AmRest having the license to operate and develop Starbucks brand in that country. Since entering Germany in 2002 with two stores in Berlin, Starbucks business has expanded to 158 stores across the country. The portfolio of 144 equity cafés together with 14 licensee stores makes Germany the largest market for Starbucks in the continental Europe. “We’ve built an impressive business in Germany over the past 14 years, employing nearly 2,000 partners across the market. But we know Germany could be a much bigger market for us and we have ambitious growth plans to be where our customers live, work and travel.” - said Kris Engskov, president of Starbucks, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). He continued: “We are proud to expand our partnership with AmRest, who are recognized across Europe as one of the most entrepreneurial, people-focused companies in food retail, and have been remarkably successful in bringing the Starbucks experience to these important markets.” AmRest has been a partner licensee for Starbucks since 2008, when it opened its first café in the Czech Republic. Since then, AmRest has developed Starbucks stores in Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and recently adding Slovakia, where the first Starbucks is planned to be opened by mid 2016.

  • How a Baby Fish Burger Captured a Nation's Palate Kim Knight
    Why the Slider Stuck: How a Baby Fish Burger Captured a Nation’s Palate Kim Knight A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Gastronomy 2019 School of Hospitality and Tourism Auckland University of Technology ABSTRACT If eating is an act of self-identification then what does the uptake of a new food trend by an entire country say about that nation? The slider – a baby hamburger that originated in the United States – was an unknown foodstuff in 2011 New Zealand when celebrity chef Al Brown put a fish version on the menu of his Auckland restaurant, Depot Oyster Bar and Eatery. Less than five years later the restaurant was selling an average of 285 sliders a day (Brown, 2014) and the slider had become an unlikely restaurant signature dish that, from 2013, had its position strengthened by mass media food publications which promoted slider recipes for home cooks. This study seeks to understand how and why the slider was introduced, popularised and embedded in New Zealand, via participant interviews with industry experts and content analysis of selected food media. Gastronomic theory around the rise of smart-casual restaurants (Pearlman, 2013), the marketing power of nostalgia (D. Bell & Valentine, 2013) and the role of media in taste-making (Blank, 2007; Shrum, 1996) is applied to create an understanding of the slider’s popularity and, potentially, New Zealand’s gastronomic identity. The research suggests that the synonymy of the New Zealand slider with its celebrity chef initiator is considered crucial – Depot’s aesthetic is the “Kiwi bach” (a colloquial term for the New Zealand holiday home) and the fish slider pays homage to the white bread fish sandwich enjoyed as part of a childhood summer meal around the kitchen table at the New Zealand bach.

  • AMREST an Effective Recipe for Robust Global License Management
    AMREST An Effective Recipe for Robust Global License Management COMPANY BACKGROUND AmRest operates restaurants such as Burger King, Pizza Hut and Starbucks in Central Europe, Eastern Europe and as far afield as China. It uses numerous retail and business software applications – from point-of-sale to engineering and business software – to support more than 25,000 staff. CHALLENGE Without strong controls in place, license management was extremely painstaking. Obtaining the right information regarding licenses and entitlement involved analyzing a mass of data. With multiple audits from major vendors to manage, accurate discovery for an IT estate across a global operation was a prerequisite for ensuring the company was correctly licensed. SNOW’S CONTRIBUTION The Snow Platform, comprising Snow License Manager, Snow Inventory and Software Recognition Service, is installed on-premiseSnow enables the company to identify license risks and provides a platform for effective Software Asset Management. BUSINESS BENEFITS • Accurate inventory and discovery giving full visibility and insight into actual license usage • Identification of more than €150,000 of unlicensed and unauthorized software • Optimization of licenses and significant cost reduction • Introduction of business unit charge backs for license costs • Creation of a white list of approved applications SAM HERO Pawel Szczepaniak, Software License Manager at AmRest, explains the benefits of devoting resource to strong license management. “In less than 12 months thanks to Snow, I have been able to transform how the company views license management. As a result, the need for a new role was created to focus specifically manage and optimize licenses across AmRest’s global operations.” SNOWSOFTWARE.COM MANAGING EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS “Using Snow, we have identified AmRest is the largest independent restaurant operator in more than €100,000 of unlicensed Central and Eastern Europe.
