Riku Dining Group is a restaurant operator that holds master franchise rights for Japanese dining brands in Canada and Hong Kong, which it operates through a mix of self-operated locations and sub-franchised units. In Canada, Riku holds the master franchise for Ajisen Ramen, one of Japan's largest ramen chains, operating 4 locations directly and overseeing 9 sub-franchised locations, all in Ontario. Unlike a typical ramen bar, Ajisen Ramen in Canada operates as a full-service Japanese restaurant offering ramen, gyoza, karaage, and other dishes. In Hong Kong, Riku holds exclusive franchise rights for three Japanese concepts: Yakiniku Kakura (a premium Japanese barbecue restaurant featuring A5 Wagyu beef), Yakiniku 801 (a more affordable yakiniku concept), and Ufufu Café (a Japanese-inspired café). Riku generates roughly 86% of revenue from self-operated restaurants, with the remainder from ingredient sales to sub-franchisees via its central kitchen in Scarborough, management service fees, and royalties. Canada and Hong Kong each contribute roughly half of total revenue. Riku's cost structure is typical for restaurant operators: food and beverage costs, labor, rent, and upstream royalty payments to franchisors. Riku's growth strategy centers on expanding its restaurant count in Canada, entering the U.S. market, and bringing its Hong Kong brands to North America.
