“My intention is to open another six small units for deliveries, we may also open a large restaurant. These will be units without tables, just delivery points, but I’m coping with a lack of specialized people,” says Catalin Mahu.

At present, there are five large restaurants and a delivery point under La Mama brand. The company that manages the restaurants in 2020 generated RON12 million revenues, in line with Finance Ministry data.

In 2022, the business is likely to reach a revenue level similar with that of 2019, but it all depends on the economic situation and the pandemic, says Catalin Mahu.
