In a bold move, Cookshop, a proudly Turkish brand, has declared its objective to expand to 100 branches and achieve an impressive $100 million in revenue over the next five years. This announcement was made by Ayse Kazanci, founder and Chairperson of the Board at Cookshop.
Since its inception in 2008, Cookshop has been a pioneer in the dining industry, offering innovative and customer-centric services. The company recently shared its ambitious strategy for growth and globalization, which includes a significant increase in its international presence.
Kazanci explained the company's plans, stating, "In line with our globalization strategy, we will expand our international branch network, creating a diverse portfolio and increasing our revenue streams."
The restructured organization at Cookshop aims to maintain a philosophy of 'happy employees, happy customers'. By investing in both its workforce and customer satisfaction, Cookshop seeks to propel its brand even further.
An integral part of their renewed organizational structure is a focus on corporate governance and service to an expanding customer base, projected to reach 15 million annually.
Kazanci highlighted the potential within the Turkish dining sector, noting, "Based on our research, the dining industry in Turkey is expected to grow annually by 40% until 2026."
In her statement, Kazanci further emphasized, "With our new organizational structure and strong collaborations, we will create synergy for the Cookshop brand, optimally leveraging the sector's growth potential and moving steadily towards leadership."
Additionally, Cookshop has initiated a significant strategic partnership with one of Turkey's largest agricultural organizations to secure a wide variety of excellent farm products. "The cornerstone of our customer satisfaction goal is to bring the best agricultural practices from the field to the table, offering our 15 million guests this valuable experience," Kazanci remarked.
This partnership aims to combine Cookshop's superior service quality with the agricultural and tourism prowess of its new ally, paving the way for innovative gastronomic experiences for their guests.
Underpinning their strategy is a commitment to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, particularly prioritizing female employment. Kazanci noted, "As the population increasingly concentrates in urban areas globally and in Turkey, we align our strategies with these demographic shifts to enhance our growth."
Cookshop's strategic transformation, initiated in this conducive demographic and industry context, is expected to bear fruit within three years, potentially leading to public offering where individual and institutional investors can participate.
About Cookshop
Cookshop was born out of a realization of how fun and personalized cooking can be. The founder was inspired by the diverse flavors that emerge from different hands preparing the same dish, which led her on a long journey through the mysterious world of tastes.
Exploring new flavors has turned guests into familiar faces, and now Cookshop cherishes being part of a large family community. The feedback from customers continually inspires improvements and innovations in their offerings. "We constantly strive to find the better, the newest, and the tastiest. The smiles on our guests’ faces when they finish their meals are our greatest reward," Kazanci shared.
Cookshop values customer suggestions highly, often sharing and refining new flavors with guests first, as it sees itself as much their home as it is a dining venue.
