Yeremyan Projects, Llc

What Yeremyan Projects, Llc does

Yeremyan Projects, LLC is a vertically integrated Armenian hospitality and food-production group founded in 2006 by David Yeremyan and headquartered in Yerevan. The company operates a diversified portfolio of 15+ restaurant concepts spanning traditional Armenian cuisine (Tavern Yerevan, Lavash), international fine dining (Livingston, Renommee, Casa Nostra, Kagayaki), quick-service (Yerevani Shaurma), and specialty venues (Smoking Chef steakhouse, Seasons Sweetland patisserie, Santafe open-air cafe). Beyond consumer-facing restaurants, the group runs Yeremyan Catering (capacity 2,000+ guests), Yeremyan Delivery across Yerevan, the Yeremyan Academy of Culinary Arts and Hospitality (with curricula validated by City of Oxford College), and a retail channel for branded dairy and meat products spanning own-stores and supermarket distribution in Yerevan, Abovyan, Ejmiatsin, and Armavir.

The group's vertical integration rests on agricultural and processing assets that supply its restaurants and retail channels. These include the Jermuk cattle farm (Vayots Dzor, established 2019) and the Tashir Livestock Complex (Lori region, over 30 hectares, with cattle and pig farms, a slaughterhouse, a feed warehouse, and an automated GEA rotary milking parlor). The Yeremyan Dairy Production Plant in Yerevan operates at a capacity of 150,000 liters of milk per day and, in May 2025, passed the FSSC 22000 V6 audit by Intertek SAI Global, making it the only Armenian dairy brand holding both FSSC 22000 and Eurasian Economic Union kids' milk registration.

Revenue is generated through in-restaurant F&B sales, branded and third-party retail of dairy and meat products, catering contracts, delivery fees, Academy tuition, and gift cards (denominations of 10,000-200,000 AMD, 12-month validity). Ancillary revenue or goodwill is generated through the Milk in Schools Program operated with the UN World Food Program and the Eurasian Development Bank (serving 1,350 pupils across 9 schools) and through Guinness World Record events (largest gata in 2018 and 2019; most cups of milk served in one hour in 2023). The company is privately held and founder-controlled, with no external institutional investors or funding rounds disclosed in the public record.
