The chain has been seeing success in introducing new items for the daypart.

The company and its board have been in talks with substantial shareholders for financial support.

Total sales value of F&B services in December was estimated at S$855 million.

The chain has almost 1,700 locations worldwide and another 1,500 units in development.

Initially launched in Singapore, the feature will be rolled out across the rest of its APAC markets shortly.

F&B sales value during that month remained below pre-pandemic levels.

It also coveted the ninth spot on Deliveroo’s global version of their list.

Fast-food outlets, however, saw takings jump by 10.1%.

The partnership will first pilot with 15 centres from 13 December 2021.

The round, which was oversubscribed, was led by Temasek.

The chain also launched its own ready-to-eat items under its own brand 7-SELECT.

Caterers experienced a jump in sales, owed to a low base last year.

The fast casual chain will completely replace beef from animals from its menu for an initial 3-month period.

Losses were attributed to lower government grants and lower rental concessions from landlords.

The chain also developed and shared a digital greeting card, designed for migrant workers to send messages of encouragement as well as holiday greetings.

Some 23,000 food establishments will come under the Safety Assurance for Food Establishments (SAFE) framework.
