The Flying Pig

What The Flying Pig does

The Flying Pig is a privately held restaurant group headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, founded in 2011. The company operates a portfolio of restaurants offering dine-in service, takeout, delivery, and private dining, complemented by seasonal menus and full bar service. The business serves local Vancouver consumers and private event customers across its physical locations, with a multi-channel service model that captures both everyday dining and special-occasion use cases.

The operating model is a traditional hospitality business with no disclosed proprietary technology platform, digital product, or AI/ML capability. Distribution runs through direct consumer foot traffic at restaurant locations, direct ordering for takeout and delivery, and private event bookings. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; the source data contains no pricing, average check size, headcount, location count, ownership, or financial details. No technology stack, third-party delivery partner relationships, or back-of-house systems are documented.

The company has been operating for over a decade, suggesting durable demand in the Vancouver market, but the source material does not provide evidence of recent growth cadence, expansion into new geographies, leadership changes, funding activity, or strategic transactions. The investment-relevant data set is limited to the founding year, the Vancouver location, and the multi-channel service offering described above.
