We invest in the next generation of food service operators and help them build exceptional businesses.
What We Do —
Capdesia is an investment firm exclusively focused on European branded restaurant chains. We provide tailored growth capital solutions, in support of domestic and international rollout, add-on acquisitions, management/partner buyouts, recapitalisations and other complex situations.
Why We Do It —
We have decades of experience growing restaurant brands. We understand consumer behaviour and the way they eat. Busier lifestyles and technology are driving demand for a new generation of vibrant, casual and limited service restaurant concepts offering high quality food at affordable prices and fast speed of service. We believe there is an untapped opportunity in Europe, exacerbated by the Covid pandemic, to invest in the next generation of food service operators and help them build exceptional businesses.
