Ohsho also sells food material wholesale to franchise stores. The company mainly sells noodles and gyoza dumplings, and has over 730 outlets in Japan. It is currently developing three stores in Taiwan. Our case for the company is its comprehensive business model, from acquiring ingredients to pricing and food delivery services, coupled with strong fundamentals. The company’s strategy of bulk-purchasing ingredients and intensive primary processing enables good quality control and lowers production costs. Open kitchens in its outlets enable customers to witness food preparation and cooking, while the food menu has local and regional specialities that meet the preferences of all patrons, and prices are on average 10-30% lower than its competitors. A takeout service is available for all menu items, along with a delivery service in response to the pandemic and customer needs.
