“At RobinFood we are proud of each of the achievements we’ve made. We share the vision of our new investors by considering technology as a fundamental tool to revolutionize the quick service restaurant industry and develop essential sustainable processes in today’s world,” said José Guillermo Calderón, CEO of RobinFood.

Robin Food announces this new investment within the significant growth of the company in Latam, given its disruptive technology and its innovative sustainability projects that are already generating a significant impact in the countries where it operates.

“This new round will allow us to strengthen our presence in Colombia and position ourselves as market leaders in Mexico and Brazil, launching 10 new brands, reaching more than 100M USD in ARR by end of 2022 and more than 1,000 brand-locations. We are currently in 29 cities, and we hope to be in 100 by the end of 2022,” says Calderón.

A new impulse for RobinFood Partners digital restaurant franchise model

The investment round will also be a catalyst for the company to continue conquering intermediate cities thanks to ‘RobinFood Partners’, the program which they have been able to double their presence in Colombia in just 8 months, reaching a total of 21 cities through ‘Partners’; in the case of Mexico, there are a total of 4 cities, and it continues to expand rapidly. In Brazil, they will launch their Partners program in May 2022. To date, more than 100 Partners have already joined in the region, where the small restaurateur is given the opportunity of additional income and they hope to have 500 Partners by the end of 2022.
