The Tai Tong Food & Beverage Group (TTFB, 瓦城泰統集團), which operates three restaurant chains with nearly 62 outlets in Taiwan, yesterday reported its consolidated sales for last year hit the highest level in the company’s history amid its continued expansion.
TTFB, which has three brands, including Thai Town Cuisine (瓦城泰式料理), Very Thai Restaurant (非常泰) and 1010 Hunan Cuisine (1010湘辣料理), posted NT$2.08 billion (US$68.78 million) in consolidated revenue last year.
The revenue for last year is up 20.11 percent from a year earlier, the group said in a statement.
Last year, TTFB opened a total of 17 new outlets in Taiwan and China, its largest expansion in a single year.
The company said sales for last month were NT$222.69 million, up 28.18 percent from a year earlier and 17.48 percent from a month earlier, thanks to higher demand from companies’ annual party needs, which helped to boost the company’s revenue during the October-to-December period to show a 31 percent year-on-year growth at NT$591.72 billion, marking the largest increase ever, the statement said.
The group yesterday said it retained its goal of expanding its total outlets across the Taiwan Strait to 100 by the end of this year, including 10 in China.
TTFB launched its first outlet in China under the Thai Town brand in Shanghai in November.

ROUGH RECORDS: Bonds in Japan, as well is in New Zealand, Australia and the US, are seeing the effects of a nervy market as stock exchanges across Asia edge down A deepening slump in Japanese government bonds added fuel to the selloff in global debt markets as rising oil prices stoked inflation fears and pushed yields to multi-decade highs. Japan’s 30-year yield yesterday surged as much as 20 basis points to the highest level since the tenor’s debut in 1999, before paring some of the move.

The US has cleared about 10 Chinese firms to buy Nvidia Corp’s second-most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) chip, the H200, but not a single delivery has been made so far, three people familiar with the matter said, leaving a major technology deal in limbo as chief executive officer Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) seeks a breakthrough in China this week.
