Restalia’s franchises increased their sales by 24% in 2022, to 284 million euros.
Restalia strengthens its position as a benchmark for franchises in the restaurant sector. The largest Spanish multinational organised food service company closed the 2022 financial year with strong growth in all its business figures, driven by the increase in sales in all its brands: 100 Montaditos, The Good Burger, Cervecería La Sureña, Panther and Pepe Taco.
Turnover achieved by its franchisees increased by 24% in 2022 compared to the previous year, reaching 284 million euros. These figures demonstrate the strength of the business and are in line with the recovery, normalisation and sustained growth of the organised catering sector following the end of the pandemic. For its part, Restalia’s parent company closed last year with a consolidated result of 8.3 million euros, nearly 8% more than in 2021.
Similarly, the multinational closed 2022 with more than 2,000 points of sale, an increase of 11% compared to 2021. Likewise, over the past year, Restalia’s brands served more than 80 million customers in their establishments, representing an increase of 12%.
These figures consolidate Restalia’s position as a haven for restaurant investors, as evidenced by the fact that during 2022, around 22,000 applications were registered from potential candidates to open franchises.
All this in a year of strong inflationary pressures in which the company, in line with its well-known strategy of popular prices, made a great effort to control the maintenance of its competitive prices and the management of its resources and supplies to protect its customers from generalised price rises.
Virginia Donado, CEO of Restalia, predicts that turnover will continue to grow at double digits in 2023: “The good results achieved during the first half of the year allow us to remain optimistic, not only in terms of turnover, but also in terms of the number of openings and commercial operations, which will see the opening of 100 new business units this year, thus confirming the good performance of our company”.
Consolidation of the domestic market and international growth
In the domestic market, the company remains committed to its flexible model focused on consolidating its presence throughout the country with openings of all its brands. And they will do so not only with its two most established brands, 100 Montaditos (the only Spanish themed food concept in the world) and TGB – The Good Burger – (the largest Spanish hamburger chain which is celebrating its 10th anniversary), but also with the relaunch of La Sureña in the last quarter of the year, maintaining its renewed essence, and various openings of Pepe Taco and Panther in different locations and formats. The
company is also working on the development of new concepts.
International expansion continues to be one of the main growth levers and an ambition that grows every year due to its continued success. If the multinational closed 2022 by announcing the opening of its 50th outlet in Portugal (with the objective of doubling its presence by 2025), and the inauguration of two new establishments in Miami, by 2030 it aims to reach 400 units outside our borders, so that the international market represents 30% of its total portfolio. Europe, Latin America and the United States are the priority regions.
