Bringing global scale, a successful brand, proven systems and
new market entry expertise, we couldn’t have asked for a better
partner than RBI and I’d like to thank it for entrusting us with
Firehouse Subs in the Australian market.
During the year we also acquired CIBO Espresso to accelerate
our growth in South Australia with a network of outlets in
prime CBD locations, and disposed of non-core assets relating
to Cafe 2U and the The Coffee Guy in Europe and New Zealand
respectively, releasing $1.0m of capital to support our core
growth activities.
Both domestically and internationally we have a clear strategy
to focus on growth brands where we can deliver greater returns
on our investment.
This has led to an FY25 strategic reset of our corporately
operated stores in our Gloria Jean’s, Donut King, Crust Gourmet
Pizza and Brumby’s Bakery brands to either sell outlets to
franchise partners or exit the site. This will enable us to recycle
capital into growth brands which require corporate support
including Beefy’s Pies and Firehouse Subs. We will retain one

Importantly, our energies have also been focused on our people,
with the implementation of various initiatives to enhance our
employee value proposition and better retain and attract a
motivated team invested in our values-driven culture and aligned
to our enhance and grow strategy.
To summarise, during FY25 we added new levers for growth while
also strengthening the foundations of our underlying business.
When coupled with a motivated and highly capable management
team and an experienced Board invested in RFG’s future success,
RFG enjoys a firm platform upon which to pursue long-term
consistent and sustainable growth for its stakeholders.
In closing, I’d like to recognise our appreciation for the efforts
of our Franchise Partners, Master Franchise Partners and team
who work tirelessly to ensure our customers across the world

During the year the Group committed to a strategic reset of our

SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSBILITY
Retail Food Group remains committed to supporting the
communities we serve and operating responsibly across our
network. In FY25, we took meaningful steps toward reducing
food waste by partnering with Too Good To Go to run trials in
our corporately owned stores, and several franchised stores.
Throughout the trial, we successfully saved 10,386 meals,
avoiding 27,610 kg in CO2 emissions. 40% of surveyed customers
were new to our brands, and we achieved strong customer
satisfaction ratings across our Donut King, Brumby’s and Beefy’s
stores in the trial, and achieved a customer satisfaction rating
of 4.81 (out of 5), well above the category average. Additionally,
we proudly continued our partnership with the Give Me 5 kids
charity campaign in partnership with 97.3FM on the Sunshine
Coast as part of Beefy’s ‘Steak vs Steak’ campaign, as well as MS

At the heart of our company is a clear purpose to strive for a positive customer experience in everything that we do. Our vision statement
to be the most accessible, easy to operate, and admired retail brand network provides us with a framework to guide our portfolio
investment choices across our platform of brands, including; a clear customer opportunity, ability to scale the network, simple franchise

We are guided by our values that shape our decisions and culture - act with integrity, stand taller together, make it easier, make it happen
and own it. These values are the foundation of how we do business and how we support our Franchise Partners, customers and team
members everyday.
Our business strategy is built around a focused ‘Enhance and Grow’ framework that clearly outlines our roadmap for growth. We are
enhancing the core by investing in our people and systems, understanding our customer to develop new concepts and ideas, establishing
closer partnerships with our Franchise Partners and are focused on driving the quality of performance for a healthy network. At the same
time, we have clear priorities to grow Beefy’s, introduce Firehouse Subs to the Australian market and expand our International brand

FY25 BRAND
HIGHLIGHTS
Gloria Jean’s Brand Reset:
A Glorious Comeback
Reinvigorating and repositioning in the café beverages category
In FY25, we commenced a strategic brand reset for our Gloria Jean’s brand, aimed at re-energising the customer experience and
strengthening brand relevance in a highly competitive café market. In partnership with a leading retail and brand design agency, we are
developing a contemporary new store format that blends modern design aesthetics with Gloria Jean’s coffee heritage. This collaboration
brings deep expertise in customer-led design, delivering a store experience that is more inviting, intuitive, and aligned with evolving
consumer expectations. The brand reset is a key pillar in our broader strategy to modernise and drive long-term, sustainable growth,
both in Australia and internationally. We will be converting our seven corporately owned CIBO Espresso stores to the new Gloria Jean’s
concept store in H1 FY26, and, with our franchise partners, are aiming to complete more than 50% of the network in FY26. We will
strengthen the brand’s market position, to deliver a renewed customer experience and establish Gloria Jean’s as a modern, forwardthinking leader in the world of beverages.

ANNUAL REPORT
Elevating the Donut King Offer
to Drive Customer Growth
Insight-led innovation will drive customer growth
The launch of the new Donut King Premium Range in FY25 marked a milestone in the brand’s evolution, underpinned by rich consumer
insights and a focus on elevating product quality and relevance. Designed to meet evolving customer expectations, the range has already
helped drive improved customer traffic in Q4 and delivering encouraging improvements in brand awareness and health metrics.
In Q4, we also reinvigorated our Hot Dogs portfolio with refreshed recipes and a sharper product offering, delivering a 116.7% uplift
in category sales in the first four weeks of activity. This new range has significantly strengthened our lunchtime offer, particularly in
ultra-convenience channels, supported by value-led deals tailored for third-party aggregator (‘3PA’) platforms. Importantly, the lunch
refresh has also enhanced our competitiveness in off-premise, food court, and broader lunch occasions, where customer traffic
continues to grow. These initiatives highlight the power of insight-led product innovation and position the brand for renewed relevance
and sustainable growth.
ANNUAL REPORT

Momentum Builds for Beefy’s Pies
New stores, strong customer demand, and a clear pipeline
support long-term growth ambitions
Beefy’s continued to build strong momentum in FY25, with the successful launch of three new outlets, with two new stores in Brisbane
and one in Toowoomba. With another three outlets scheduled to open in early FY26, we remain firmly on track to achieve our target of
50 stores within three years. This growth reflects the brand’s rising popularity, scalable model, and strong consumer demand for highquality, convenient food options.
In parallel with our physical expansion, Beefy’s is focused on deepening customer engagement through increased accessibility and value.
In FY25, we commenced trials of extended trading hours in select high-traffic locations to capture the growing dinner occasion. Early
results have been encouraging, with positive feedback and incremental sales. Additionally, a stronger push through 3PA platforms has
driven increased visibility and order volume, supported by compelling value deals tailored to digital customers. Digital sales now make up
over 2% of Beefy’s sales transactions and these continue to grow.

ANNUAL REPORT
Customer-Led Improvements
Driving Momentum for Crust
Independent research from Fonto identifies Crust as the QSR leader in
customer satisfaction, validating our focus on menu and operational enhancements.
In a competitive QSR landscape increasingly shaped by health-conscious consumers and elevated service expectations, Crust has
sharpened its focus on listening to customers and acting decisively on their feedback. Throughout FY25, we implemented targeted menu
enhancements, including the launch of Piadinas to open up the lunch occasion, high protein bases, new sides, and the successful Meat
Deluxe LTO range, along with operational improvements informed by insights gathered through our customer research. This customercentric approach has translated into measurable results that were validated by Fonto, an independent customer experience research firm
that benchmarks over 100 Australian brands across food and retail. In Q4, Fonto reported that Crust had the most satisfied customers in
the entire QSR sector, outperforming established category leaders. This validation has helped fuel stronger momentum for the brand in
the final quarter of the year, delivering network sales growth of 5.5%.
