We made a deal with CALA's founder, Ylan Richard: We would help him find the best debt facility to support his amazing business, and he would do an interview with us about CALA. We held our side of the bargain, and so did he...
There's something very special about CALA restaurants...
CALA is a restaurant where the chef is a... ROBOT?
You've read well: CALA has developed a robotic chef which cooks sizeable portions of delicious pasta dishes in no time...This allows them to cut costs, and repurpose their budget to source better ingredients, make bigger portions, and focus on client satisfaction.
Not only do CALA operate their restaurants themselves, but they also developed their own robotic chef. This double-edged cooking knife is rather unprecedented in the industry as of yet.
This is not just a slightly different approach to restaurants; it's a revolution.
The metrics speak for themselves, as of January 2023:
- Their Construction costs were far lower than Subway.
- Their EBITDA margin outperforms McDonald's.
- Their Payback time was considerably shorter than Starbucks's.
- Their Revenue per m² was 4.5 times higher than McDonald’s
We're very happy to have supported such an innovative and forward business, and can't wait to see what the future holds for Ylan and CALA.
