Quick Service Restaurants (‘QSR’) Remains Challenged
$69.9m
•
QSR contributed 27.2% of group network sales with no
vertical integration of product sales into the network and
only 6 Company Store operated outlets (2.3% of QSR
outlets) resulting in a lower revenue conversion
•
Crust has seen a customer count decline in line with the
category as families continue to pull back (total food
service spend -10.7%, traffic -2.6%)2, but has minimsed the
impact on Franchise Partner profitability.
•
By introducing Piadinas, we have successfully tapped into
the lunchtime market, which has also boosted our pizza
sales. This dual strategy has led to a 10.4% increase in
Network Sales during lunchtime trade for Crust compared
to the previous corresponding period (PCP)
AVERAGE TRANSACTION VALUE
UP 1.5% ON PCP
•
A reduction in Pizza Capers outlets (non-core) in FY24 is
