As the company navigates this significant Series B/C stage, the focus remains on maintaining the integrity of its menu while scaling operations to meet increasing demand. Future growth will be measured by the firm's ability to replicate its intimate, high-touch dining experience across new venues without compromising the rigorous sourcing standards that define its market position.
