Expansion potential Taster operates 130+ locations across Europe and is evolving from delivery to next-generation stores, presenting opportunities to upsell new formats, drive co-branded promotions, and expand within existing markets where franchise and licensed partnerships are already in place.

Strong funding history With past VC rounds including 37M in funding and investors such as Octopus Ventures, Battery Ventures, LocalGlobe, Heartcore, and Rakuten, Taster has demonstrated growth momentum and financial backing that can support scaled partnerships, franchise programs, and joint marketing ventures.

Brand portfolio A diversified brand lineup Pepe Chicken, Starsmash, Out Fry, La Vie Dirty Burgers, SpudBros Express, Crousty Crew, and Sheesh positions Taster to target multiple culinary segments, enabling cross-brand collaborations, exclusive co-branding deals, and franchise expansion in synergy with creator partnerships.

Tech-enabled scale Taster provides a full-stack platform including culinary, sourcing, technology, and operations, backed by a tech stack and partner ecosystem, creating opportunities to sell managed services, white-label solutions, and data-driven marketing partnerships to other operators seeking turnkey capabilities.

Collaborative growth Recent partnerships with EG On The Move and SpudBros Express expansions indicate a model that accelerates market entry via local operators; sales opportunities exist in structured franchise/licensed partnerships, co-development of new formats, and regional expansion programs.
