Investments in this space revolved around EUR400,000, says Gabriel Faflei, Japanos founder.

“Paris is a highly dynamic market in terms of restaurants. The space we found was an opportunity as finding an appropriate location is a big hindrance in developing a business in this city”.

He specifies he waited for more than a year to be able to carry out the investment. The plan for Japanos has envisaged, right for the beginning, the opening of a restaurant in central Paris and then expand to the rest of France, but also in west European countries.

Other development plans aim for the opening of several restaurants in several cities of Romania, then in one-two cities of France, but also for expansion to other territories, such as Saudi Arabia.

For this year, the entrepreneur projects EUR3-4 million revenues at group level.
