Company Overview

Headquartered in Hong Kong, we are a restaurant operator that operates three all-you-can-eat hotpot restaurant through our wholly-owned Operating Subsidiaries in Hong Kong. We have been in the restaurant services industry serving the Hong Kong market for over 5 years, which is a relatively short operating history compared to some of our established competitors. Our restaurants serves all-you-can-eat Thai and Japanese hotpot to our customers under the brand names “Thai Pot” and “Gyu! Gyu! Shabu Shabu”. As of the date of this prospectus, we operate three restaurants located in Tsuen Wan District in the New Territories, Mong Kok District in Kowloon, and Kwun Tong District in Kowloon. For the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, our revenue is generated from providing food and beverage to customers in our restaurants located in North Point, Mong Kok and Tsuen Wan. Our revenue increased by US$1,540,734 or 22.8%, from US$6,754,350 for the year ended August 31, 2023 to US$8,295,084 for the year ended August 31, 2024. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in customer demand as a result of the lifting of pandemic measures, in particular, the dine-in restrictions in catering business premises and other social distancing measures imposed by the Hong Kong government, which brought our restaurants back to normal business operation for the year ended August 31, 2024 and the upward adjustment in our selling price of our food in August 2023. We have two principal executive offices, one in Hong Kong and one in Singapore.
