It presently has 50 locations in Greater Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Malang, Semarang, and Solo, with cloud kitchens and brick-and-mortar restaurants. It plans to open 100 stores by the end of this year and another 100 the following year.

The business stated in a statement that revenues had increased by 6x since it obtained US$2 million in initial investment in 2020. During the same time period, the company’s shop count increased, and it currently serves more than 4 million meals every year.

By the third quarter of 2022, the company plans to offer a mobile app with ordering and loyalty features. It has also established Nusantara Culinary Group as a holding company to aid its growth into other culinary items like drinks and packaged sambal.
