Les Amis Holdings Pte. Ltd.

What Les Amis Holdings Pte. Ltd. does

Les Amis Holdings Pte. Ltd. (operating as Les Amis Group) is a privately held, homegrown Singaporean food and beverage company founded in 1994 that operates a multi-brand portfolio of 19 restaurant concepts spanning French fine dining, casual European, Italian, Japanese, and Asian cuisines. The flagship Les Amis restaurant, which opened in 1994 as Singapore's first independent fine dining restaurant, has held three Michelin Stars since 2019 under Executive Chef Sebastien Lepinoy. The portfolio is anchored around the Shaw Centre on Orchard Road and is supplemented by neighborhood and mall-based outlets across Singapore (Greenwood, Frankel Avenue, Suntec City, Biopolis, Upper Thomson, United Square, PLQ 3, Mountbatten CC, Wheelock Place, Raffles City, Great World, Binjai Park, Forum, and others).

The group's commercial offering is built on direct-to-consumer dine-in across all concepts, supported by delivery and takeaway through brand-specific websites and aggregators, and a proprietary stored-value digital gift card system (Carte Amis) plus e-vouchers that are redeemable across participating outlets via QR code. Technology is light and operationally focused: third-party reservation platforms (Chope, Quandoo, SevenRooms), online ordering for delivery, and the in-house Carte Amis payment infrastructure. There is no public API, SDK, or AI/ML capability disclosed.

Revenue is generated through dine-in transactions, delivery/takeaway, digital gift card and e-voucher sales, and corporate event bookings. Pricing varies materially across concepts: Les Amis operates premium fine dining (pricing not publicly disclosed), Peperoni Pizzeria and NamNam operate accessible casual dining (set menus from S$22.90 and Vietnamese street food), and mid-tier concepts (Bistro Du Vin, Lino, La Taperia, Scotts Grill) offer set lunches typically in the S$38+ range. The Carte Amis program (S$100–S$10,000 top-ups, 12-month validity, 8% top-up discount above S$100) functions as both a customer acquisition/retention tool and a working capital float. All revenue is generated domestically in Singapore; the company has no disclosed international operations, external investors, or funding rounds.
