Kuala Lumpur, 3rd December 2020 – Santan, the world’s first restaurant brand to offer inflight food on the ground, celebrated its first anniversary with major milestones.
Since the Conditional Movement Control Order’s implementation, Santan’s delivery service saw 80% growth and over 385,000 total meals sold throughout the year. Santan’s milestones since being awarded their official franchise certificate in September include establishing five new outlets in the Klang Valley (excluding Mid Valley and Sunway Pyramid) with two more set to open before the end of 2020, plus three cloud kitchens established in Cheras, Shah Alam and Sri Kembangan.
Santan has also contributed to local communities and SMEs in the Buy Malaysian Products campaign. Santan provides local job opportunities, launches F&B industry careers, and launched ‘Santan Food’ in September while rebranding T&Co to Santan Cafe in October to feature local products. They have also collaborated with the Food Aid Foundation to feed the needy.
Catherine Goh, General Manager of Santan, reflected that the year was challenging but rewarding with growth for Santan, thanking all employees of the Santan team and their customers for their support.
To commemorate the anniversary, they partnered with local lifestyle artisan, Bingka, to produce handmade Santan-themed merchandise made by local communities.
