Jumbo Group

[thor666]

On japan food, one has to see the pains that management does to innovate from the crowd. Anyone going to their agm will know. From making ramen and soup by themselves from central kitchen, to using ipads to reduce labour, and obviously having high margins (~$17 for a ramen set meal), their casual dining definitely is different from prestige restaurants such as jumbo, paradise and dtf.

Im not optimistic on jumbo.

(vested in japanfood, so may be biased.)

> I always seek opinions from my friends about Jumbo Group's food. Mostly positive. They found price reasonable too.

Bro kelvesy, thanks for the sharing.

Jumbo - Is their signature crab still as good, and gravy as rich and thick?
Some say the other famous brand expand too fast and crab standard dropped a lot.

How much is a kg of Sri Lanka crabs at Jumbo? Compare with the No SignBoard, Melben, how much is it and crab lovers can share?

I only eat my steam braised crab at Wo Peng in Macpherson. That as 1 yr ago.... Different type of taste... $>68 but v gd.

Went to 15 by Jamie Oliver in Melbourne. Not nice one. So i am skeptical about celebrity chefs.

Back to jumbo. Food business hard to do. High rental and labour.

I seldom if ever eat Jumbo. Crabs are not my thing; the last time I was there was to bring some overseas business associates to try our famous dish. Their customer base would correlate closely with tourism arrival numbers as this is not your regular visit Singaporean restaurant. Unlike Japan Food Holdings, they don't have multiple brands, catering to different market segments and tastes.

There doesn't seem to be much of a defensive moat here.

Seems like the only share that keeps breaking new high while many others falter. Perhaps due to perception of good growth potential with the expansion in China.
