What a portmanteau of art & tea does

Arteastiq Group Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based, founder-led integrated F&B brand developer, operator, and franchisor established in 2010 by Ivan Teo. The group operates and franchises a portfolio of more than 30 F&B and lifestyle concepts, with seven core operating sub-brands currently active: Arteastiq Tea Lounge (premium tea house), Arteastiq DePatio (all-day café with 72-hour aged dough pizza), Paper Rice (Vietnamese kitchen with 16-hour pho), SampanMan (kelong-style seafood), Cajun on Wheels (Halal-certified Cajun seafood), Il Clay by Margherí (Art Deco supper club at Clarke Quay), and Art Jam Studio (social painting). At least 11 dine-in outlets are operated across prime Singapore locations including Jewel Changi Airport, Mandarin Gallery, Plaza Singapura, Clarke Quay, Jurong Point, and Changi City Point, serving dine-in, take-out, and delivery channels.

The business generates revenue through four streams: (1) dine-in, take-out, and delivery across its Singapore restaurant portfolio, with pricing spanning $10 vouchers up to ~$81.55 afternoon-tea vouchers for two and $138 tea-pot gift sets; (2) retail e-commerce via a Shopify storefront selling proprietary artisan teas (e.g., Lychee Alishan Oolong), Nanyang-inspired confectionery, tea ware, and home art-jamming kits; (3) licensing fees and royalties from franchised brands operating in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, GCC (Middle East), and China, including Cajun on Wheels regional franchises; and (4) recurring revenue and loyalty via the $10/year Sip Club annual membership and $10 e-vouchers redeemable across group brands. The group also operates the Tranquilla Bali property development venture as a separate affiliated real estate initiative.

Customer segments are primarily individual consumers in Singapore (including tourists via Jewel Changi and Orchard Road locations) seeking distinctive dining, tea, and creative experiences, with a secondary B2B segment of F&B entrepreneurs and operators acquiring franchise rights internationally. Distribution combines owned-and-operated outlets, franchise partners, a Shopify e-commerce channel, and brand-specific delivery platforms. The group is privately held, founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures, and consolidates its portfolio under a single corporate umbrella since 2018 to support ongoing regional expansion.
