The way we work and what we offer
Globally, we operate outlets across five key categories
— Cafes and bakeries
— Bars
— Casual dining restaurants
— Convenience retail
— Quick service restaurants
Reaching for growth with long-term partners
We have vast experience of creating winning food and beverage experiences, from quick service to fine dining, in high volume travel locations. These are complex settings to work in, from a logistical and legal point of view. But over the years we’ve built up an unrivalled expertise in making sure all our outlets are managed and run in a way that meets the fast-changing needs of our customers and clients.
Our competitive advantages help us to form strong relationships with our clients and partners.

Expanding our footprint in Houston
Building on the success of our operations at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston (IAH), we were selected as part of an ambitious project to enhance the airport’s world-class experience. Through this ten-year contract, which will create 300 jobs, we will open 16 additional F&B units in the new Mickey Leland International Terminal, in addition to the four units we currently operate and test out innovative digital solutions. Travellers will have a range of options to choose from including local landmarks like The Annie Café & Bar and The Kitchen, and national favourites like Chili’s and MOD Pizza.

Consolidating our retail presence in the Nordics
Following a competitive tender process, we were selected by Avinor to roll out 19 retail units in the top four airports across Norway, including Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger and Oslo. We will be opening 17 Point outlets and two bespoke concepts in these locations. We created The Point concept in 2006 to provide travelling customers with easy access to travel essentials, magazines and newspapers as well as good value hot food and drinks. With a strong focus on sustainability and local products, using locally sourced meat and fish, our outlets will offer a true Norwegian experience on the go.

Digital ordering and pay solutions will be available at all our units. We’ve already opened a mix of international brands and bespoke concepts, including Whiskey Bread, a whiskey bar and restaurant showcasing local Dublin producers, and The Fallow, a casual dining concept.
