The Daily Cut

What The Daily Cut does

The Daily Cut is a privately held, Singapore-based healthy food restaurant chain operating three dine-in locations in the central business district at One Raffles Place, Guoco Tower (Tanjong Pagar), and Guoco Midtown II (Bugis). The core product is a build-your-own-bowl meal system in which customers assemble meals from bases (olive brown rice, romaine lettuce, sweet potatoes, quinoa), proteins (chicken, beef, seafood), supplements, toppings, and dressings, supported by an online Macro Calculator that returns calorie and macronutrient values for selected combinations. The menu rotates seasonally with Mediterranean and international influences.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with three revenue streams: in-store retail (dine-in and takeaway), online ordering for delivery through the company website, and corporate/private-event catering. Customers are primarily health-conscious individuals seeking convenient, tasty, non-restrictive healthy meals, with a secondary segment of corporate clients purchasing catering for meetings and events. Marketing is conducted through organic Facebook and Instagram channels, an email newsletter, and website content. A distribution partnership with Caterspot extends catering reach into the B2B marketplace. The company operates entirely within Singapore, with no disclosed funding history, suggesting a founder-owned or bootstrapped capital structure typical of independent restaurant concepts in the region.
