Revenue model

1. Bakery and café retail sales: Direct in-store retail sales of freshly baked goods (bread, rolls, bagels, pastries, cakes, croissants) and made-to-order sandwiches, salads, and snacks. Beverages include coffee (various varieties), tea (black, green, fruit, herbal), cocoa, chocolate, fresh juices, and smoothies. All items are prepared on premises using natural ingredients and traditional recipes. Customers can dine in or purchase for takeaway.
2. Loyalty program engagement: Points-based loyalty program (Aplikacja Lojalnościowa Lajkonik) that incentivizes repeat beverage purchases. While the program itself is free, it drives incremental revenue by rewarding and retaining customers who return for beverages and food items. Points are earned per beverage purchase and redeemed for free drinks and pastries.

• Lorenz Snack-World Holding GmbHminorOthersLajkonik operates under the Lorenz Code of Conduct, referencing the Bahlsen family (Moritz Bahlsen and Lorenz Bahlsen) who founded Lorenz Snack-World Holding GmbH. The company's whistleblower portal (Tell-us!) is administered by Lorenz Snack-World Holding GmbH, indicating a corporate governance alignment or shared reporting standards. The relationship appears to be one of corporate governance oversight rather than a commercial partnership.
