What Giraudi Group does

Giraudi Group is a privately held, family-owned diversified business headquartered in Monaco, operating across three divisions: Meats, Hospitality, and Lifestyle. The Meats division (Giraudi Meats) acts as agent, trader, importer, exporter and distributor of premium meats — European beef, milk-fed veal and pork as well as exclusive US, Japanese and Australian beef — and sells over 90,000 tons annually, with the group recognised at WWA25 as the world's largest Kobe beef importer. The Hospitality division owns, franchises and licenses a portfolio of approximately 35 restaurant brands across all continents (including Beefbar, Zeffirino, Song Qi, African Queen, Pizz'Aria, Smashie, Frites Atelier, Fradiavolo, Anahi Monaco and Nightingale), spanning modern luxury through fast casual, and offers franchise, licence and restaurant consulting services to third parties. The Lifestyle division comprises Fashion Factory (a Monaco-based end-of-line inventory clearinghouse for luxury fashion brands operating from a 3,000m2 facility, established 2007), Brigitte Tanaka (embroidered organza accessories), Galerie 3m2 (Paris art space in the Palais Royal gardens) and CAP Gin (premium French Riviera gin).

Founded in 1968 by Erminio Giraudi as a European meat import-export business, the group is currently led by Riccardo Giraudi as Chairman and Managing Director, who joined in the early 2000s, expanded the meats portfolio with Kobe beef, and launched the hospitality division in 2005 with the first Beefbar. Legal entity is GIRAUDI GROUP SERVICES S.A.M, a Société Anonyme Monégasque with €150,000 of share capital, and the group reports no external institutional investors, no public listing, no patents and no disclosed revenue. Core technology is not externally disclosed; revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on meat trading, direct restaurant sales, franchise/licence royalties, professional consulting fees, and consumer product sales (CAP Gin, Brigitte Tanaka) via e-commerce and boutiques.

Customer segmentation is hybrid: enterprise B2B (large European beef/veal/pork producers and luxury fashion brands for end-of-line inventory), consumer B2C (premium diners and lifestyle buyers), and franchise/licence operators worldwide. Distribution channels include direct field sales via agents and traders, owned and franchised restaurants, e-commerce storefronts (capgin.com, brigittetanaka.com), and a channel-based B2B model for Fashion Factory. The group is private, profitable-looking from its ability to fund multi-concept restaurant launches, and operates without visible external capital, technology platform or AI/ML capability — its competitive position rests on five decades of supplier relationships, exclusive Kobe sourcing authority, and a growing portfolio of branded restaurant formats.
