Savor Group

What Savor Group does

Savor Group Limited (NZX: SVR) is a publicly listed New Zealand hospitality company headquartered in Auckland that operates a portfolio of 18-20 wholly-owned restaurants, bars, bakeries, and entertainment venues concentrated across Auckland's Britomart, Parnell, Mission Bay, Viaduct, Wynyard Quarter, Ponsonby, Commercial Bay, and Freeman's Bay precincts. The venue portfolio spans Italian fine dining (Amano, Non Solo Pizza, Bivacco, Bar Ziti), Japanese and Japanese-Peruvian concepts (Azabu Ponsonby, Azabu Mission Bay, Ebisu, Oji Sushi), Asian Fusion (Bang Bang Kitchen), casual market dining (Market Galley), bistros and cafés (Ortolana, The Store, Amano Bakery), bars (The Wreck), and a non-food entertainment vertical (Flush Golf, a five-bay Trackman golf simulator venue). Each venue operates as a separate sub-brand with its own identity, menu, and Instagram account, while sharing centralized back-office, marketing, and procurement functions under the Savor umbrella.

The company makes money primarily through per-cover dine-in revenue at fixed-price and à la carte menus (set menus priced from $25 to $120 per person, bakery items $5.50-$70, sushi items $6.50-$22.90), supplemented by takeaway and click-and-collect orders, corporate and private event hire (minimum 20 persons across multiple venues), full-service catering via downloadable catering packs, group-wide gift card sales ($50-$500 denominations, 36-month expiry, eGift and physical), and direct-to-consumer online retail of Amano Bakery products through the Savor Goods storefront and a dedicated mobile app. Marketing is driven through the centralized savor.co.nz hub, venue-specific Instagram accounts, an email newsletter, and a dedicated "What's On" events page covering live football, ladies' lunches, Sunday feasts, and seasonal specials.

Customer segments are predominantly general Auckland dining consumers across dine-in and takeaway occasions, with secondary segments in corporate clients (functions, team events), special occasion diners (birthdays, anniversaries), and retail/CPG buyers of Amano Bakery products. The company was established and listed on the NZX in 2011, is led by Executive Chairman Paul Robinson, Managing Director & Group CEO Lucien Law, and Group CFO Tim Peat, and operates with no parent company and no disclosed funding rounds as a public listed entity.
