Value Added Investors
There are two fundamental investment strategies:
Fresh Hospitality doesn\\u2019t invest in companies hoping to discover a gem that increases in value \\u2013 they go in every single day to add as much value to that investment as possible.

Restaurants are a fairly complex and low-margin business, so you have to have really good systems and processes in place. Fresh Hospitality specializes in implementing effective systems and process to add value to their investments, and that\\u2019s one of the keys to their success in the industry.
The result is complete visibility in operations and minute control over costs.
