Our plan is “simple”! We aim to offer low-threshold, sustainable, healthy and above all delicious food through an international chain of 100% plant-based restaurants in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam.
Our concept is unique! We combine evidence based knowledge of foods with Western and Asian flavors to create nutritious dishes. Taste is, however, the highest priority. That is why we also offer popular, but less healthy dishes, as they can be particularly delicious! We let our guests make a conscious choice based on our Health Score.
Are you also enthusiastic to invest in this unique concept? Click ‘Invest!’ and fill out our survey. You will not make your investment right away, but you will let us know that you are genuinely interested. This way, we will collect ‘pledges’. Once we have sufficient pledges, we will set up the official Crowdfunding campaign in collaboration with CrowdAboutNow.nl.
When Shuk Yi was declared incurable by conventional treatment four years ago, we took matters into our own hands. She was barely able to walk due to chronic fatigue and pain caused by oxalic acid from her food—which is largely found in grains, nuts, and vegetables—as well as a chronic deficiency of B12 due to a gene mutation. Fortunately, we were able to improve her health by 70% through optimizing her diet and nutritional intake, based on DNA, nutrition, and microbiome tests. This demonstrates how powerful food can be.
We are eager to share our knowledge with anyone who is willing to learn about the potency of food.
And us? Although we proudly promote our homemade wholefoods patties with full flavo, we are happy to offer these substitutes as well, simply because it makes it easier to eat more plant-based. Our goal is not to try to turn everyone vegan, but to provide delicious alternatives.
We provide products that prioritize both health and taste! For instance, our patties, food bar dishes, and mayonnaises are all developed in-house. We source flavors from both Western and Asian cuisines. Moreover, we do not use oil for baking our patties, and use extra-virgin olive oil for food bar dishes, as it is simply a healthful option. Furthermore, we offer flexitarian dishes with plant-based cheese, milk, fish, and meat substitutes, they do not have to miss out on the structure and texture.
Our dishes were highly commended by our guests! In 2020, we conducted a survey which was filled out by 380 people, with 99% of them saying they would recommend our restaurant to others.
We hope you will also be part of this wonderful concept. Download the PDF presentation of our concept here and the survey results here!
As it can be difficult to secure a location without funds, we would like to provide an example of a property we would like to take over if it is still available after crowdfunding: a property located at Amstelstraat 7 (see photo) next to Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam (64 m2 of sales area with 40 m2 of storage space).
Our first establishment will be a modest fast casual restaurant with our vegan burgers as the main focus. Additionally, we will serve snacks, sandwiches, bubble teas, and vegan milkshakes. To complete the menu, we will offer coffee and tea, pastries, and ice cream. In addition to soft drinks, we will also offer beer and wine.
We are seeking to crowdfund in order to create a greater impact in the plant-based foods and global sustainability space. With the support of a larger community, we have the potential to accelerate our growth and achieve our goals on a much larger scale than we would be able to with just our own capital.
The forecasted turnover of the Rembrandtplein restaurant is estimated to be €635,000, with the potential to increase up to €765,000.
We intend to use our own capital and loan of € 475,000 to take over of the business operations, including the goodwill and inventory, purchase additional inventory, undertake renovations, and cover start-up costs. You can access our business plan with financial details via this link!
Kwok Hung Yip is a co-investor and the owner of the Wok To Go Group, which comprises 27 locations, the Wok! restaurant in Utrecht, and a central kitchen. Yip is responsible with his team for the construction, operation, and setting up of the new restaurants and franchise organisation. With Yip’s expertise, we have successfully demonstrated that we can build beautiful restaurants with high-quality finishes. With Yip’s team, we can optimise the workflow and serve up a burger in 5 minutes using advanced kitchen equipment. To maximize efficiency, we have adopted a hybrid system that allows customers to order via a self-service platform, and be served by our staff, which helps to keep personnel costs to a minimum.
Shares For € 5,000 you can become a shareholder, entitling you to dividends and the same benefits as an investor, including a 30% discount for the first five years. For 10,000 the discount of 35% applies.
