— At QSRP, we focus on growth. We generate ca. EUR 1B in systemwide sales within the quick service restaurant sector and are ideally positioned for further organic and inorganic growth. We invest in complementary brands and markets, with an interesting potential. After each acquisition’s structural and functional optimization, we look further, exploring markets in which we are already present, in search for the expansion potential of our portfolio brands. And of course, we will never pass on new opportunities which come into our view.
The QSRP approach focuses on 5 key values. They guide our company, partners and investors on our way forward. And on our path, we seize the moment and create every possible chance, by being:
— Curiosity kills cats. Luckily, they have nine lives. We’re a bit like cats: always restless to discover each and every opportunity to improve what we do.
— Being mindful is at the core of our business. QSRP is all about being open to diversity and different solutions, actively listening and adapting to cultures, situations, styles, needs. Spreading this vision across countries in which we work builds trust and loyalty.
— We have more than one passion. Because once you adore the restaurant industry, delighting consumers with great food experiences becomes second nature. And of course, we just love the people we work with. And doesn’t everyone love a good story?
— You love working together? So do we. Being collaborative is standard at QSRP. As is being entrepreneurial. But we’re not afraid to make mistakes and to learn from them. That’s our way forward, from inspiration to implementation.
— Being creative is good but it definitely requires an open mind. That’s why we’re always ready to be surprised. As surprises lead us to exciting ideas, good ideas have a very powerful impact on what we do.
German Nordsee is Europe’s largest seafood restaurant chain.
In a press release, the Kharis fund writes that it has created a platform to accelerate the development Nordsee’s Go! Fish concept stories in Italy and Belgium. At the same time, the firm is also accelerating Burger King, Quick, O’Tacos.
The QSR Platform Holding SCA (QSRP) group of companies and Nordsee is now part of QSRP, a quick-service restaurant platform under the umbrella of Kharis Capital.
The seafood chain, which sources farmed salmon from Scottish, Irish and Norwegian waters, generates over EUR 350 million a year through its 374 locations, making it Europe’s leading provider. It is the third most popular eatery in Germany after Burger King and McDonald’s.
Kharis Capital is a family-backed investor focused on the quick-service restaurant market. Through various entities, it currently controls 1,000 restaurants over four brands (Burger King, Quick, O’Tacos, Nordsee) and seven key countries including Italy, Belgium, Luxemburg, France and Poland.
“The innovative power of the entire group makes it possible to offer our customers a “best in class quick service restaurant experience” across all brands. The focus here is on customer orientation, service as well as new digitalization strategies such as app, mobile ordering or flexible POS systems. As part of the international group of companies, we have access to valuable experience in employee development, trends and product developments as well as insights in important areas such as home delivery and sustainability,” said Carsten Horn, CEO Nordsee.
Luxembourg-based Kharis Capital acquired the leading fish & seafood brand from HK Food GmbH, a subsidiary of dairy giants Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller, in 2016.
