What KATRINA GROUP LTD does

Katrina Group Ltd is a Singapore-based, publicly-listed (SGX Catalist, ticker 1A0 / KGL) food & beverage and hospitality group founded in 2004 and listed since July 2016. The company owns and operates nine F&B brands — So Pho (Vietnamese), Bali Thai (Indonesian/Thai), Streats (Hong Kong cafe), Daily Chicken, Daily Beer, Lotteria (Korean, under master franchise with Lotte GRS), Rico Rico, Sanchos Taqueria (Mexican) and Tomo Tokyo (Japanese) — distributed across owned outlets in high-foot-traffic Singapore locations and supported by brand-specific direct online ordering websites. Four brands (Bali Thai, Streats, So Pho, Sanchos Taqueria) are Halal-certified. The hospitality arm comprises ST Residences (serviced apartments targeting corporate clients including Rio Tinto, Airbus and Ernst & Young) and ST Signature, a co-living hotel concept with five Singapore locations (Tanjong Pagar, Chinatown, Jalan Besar, Bugis Beach, Bugis Middle) that uses the proprietary Chat-In™ smart self check-in system, signature 'S' shape bed modules, and communal Miele kitchens. The group also operates the Katrina Rewards loyalty programme (5-10% tiered rebate) accessible via mobile app.

The business model combines transaction-based restaurant revenue (own-store casual and mid-range dining across multiple cuisines) with recurring revenue from serviced apartments and co-living hotel stays, plus franchise/royalty economics from the Lotteria master franchise agreement. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through physical outlets, brand-owned websites, and the Katrina Rewards app; distribution is exclusively domestic Singapore with no disclosed overseas restaurant operations outside the franchise framework. The company is founder-led (Alan Goh Keng Chian as Founder, Executive Chairman and CEO) with the co-founder transitioning to Senior Advisor in August 2025 and Krystal Goh Shu Yan appointed Executive Director.

FY2025 financials disclosed revenue of S$45.97M (down 16% YoY from S$54.73M), a net loss of S$2.79M, net liabilities of S$6.7M, and current liabilities exceeding current assets by S$18.4M — prompting auditor EY to flag substantial doubt about going concern. The company also faces ongoing Urban Redevelopment Authority litigation against subsidiary ST Hospitality over alleged illegal short-term stays.
