Just Kitchen Holdings (JK) will license a selection of its food brands as well as its JKOS platform to a new restaurant entity in Taiwan.

The licensing arrangement will enable world renowned Chef Richie Lin to operate a hybrid fast-fine restaurant and ghost kitchen on the same premises.

The as yet unnamed restaurant will be located at Hotel EPISODE Hsinchu and is planned to open in August or September of 2022. Chef Lin and JustKitchen have also committed to working together to develop new virtual food brands to launch on the company’s platform.

The Hsinchu and Zhubei ghost kitchens are currently among JustKitchen’s top-selling locations. They are expected to support further business development for the company in the area of the Hsinchu Science Park. Accordingly, JustKitchen management views the prospects for the hybrid project as promising, given its familiarity with the site and outlook for its growth potential.

Chef Richie Lin is known for the one-Michelin-starred restaurant, Mume. He frequently collaborates with notable chefs and serves modern European food with Taiwanese ingredients. Chef Lin’s new restaurant will take over the commercial kitchen that JustKitchen recently used to operate a ghost kitchen location. Formerly known as Hotel Indigo Hsinchu Science Park, Hotel EPISODE is located in the East District neighbourhood in Hsinchu near various theme parks and other attractions.

Jason Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of JustKitchen, commented on the partnership with chef Richie Lin.

“The opportunity to work with a talented, well-known and visionary chef like Richie Lin is an honour and a privilege for our team at JustKitchen. The ability to collaborate with Chef Lin in order to provide consumers with high quality food items in a short amount of time is something we are greatly looking forward to.”

“The Hsinchu neighborhood and its surrounding area have been a strong source of demand for JustKitchen thus far. To be able to convert one of our more typical ghost kitchens into a hybrid facility is another innovative step forward for our enterprise, and for that I am grateful to Chef Lin,” added Mr. Chen.

JustKitchen is an operator of ghost kitchens specializing in developing and marketing proprietary and franchised delivery-only food brands for customers. The company currently operates in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, with plans to expand operations to other Asian countries. 

Just Kitchen Holdings Corp. (JK) opened trading at C$0.28.
