Ox And Finch

What Ox And Finch does

Ox and Finch is a single-location contemporary sharing plates restaurant operating at 920 Sauchiehall Street in the Kelvingrove area of Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 2014, the venue is owned and operated as part of Scoop Restaurants Group Limited, a family-run private limited company that also runs sister brands Margo, Sebb's, and Ka Pao across Glasgow and Edinburgh. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily with last arrivals at 10pm, offers year-round outdoor seating, and accepts both walk-ins and reservations.

The business runs on a conventional independent-restaurant technology stack rather than proprietary platforms: an EPOS system for point-of-sale, SevenRooms for reservation management, guest CRM, and email marketing subscriptions, Dojo for PCI DSS compliant card payment processing, and Stripe as a secure card vault for larger party bookings. Customer acquisition is primarily through organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter) and a SevenRooms-hosted newsletter, with no app, API, or AI-driven features. The "OX AND FINCH" name and logo are registered UK trademarks held by Ox and Finch Limited.

Revenue is generated from dine-in food and beverage sales, bespoke group and private dining events (with £20 per person deposits and £25 per person cancellation fees), and gift vouchers distributed through a group-level Scoop Restaurants gifting platform. There is no public pricing on the website, no disclosed revenue or headcount, and no external funding. The customer base is diffuse (general public, tourists, and event groups) and revenue is concentrated in a single physical venue, making site-level performance the dominant variable in the brand's financial outcome.
