Camile Thai Kitchen preps new outlets and tech investment

Camile Thai Kitchen is set to open 15 new locations across the UK and Ireland with the creation of over 300 full and part time jobs.

Founded in 2010, it currently has more than 35 outlets, including six in London.

It is also planning to raise €10 million as part of its plans to move ahead with “a technology-centric strategy”.

The chain claims to be the first in Europe to deliver its menu by drone and has plans to automate its kitchen operations with robotics in 2021.

“Despite an extremely difficult year for the hospitality sector, for Camile 2020 has seen rapid growth. Our suburban, delivery focussed model has proven to be pandemic proof in the last 11 months, not least in terms of revenue and sales,” says Brody Sweeney, Founder, Camile Thai Kitchen. 

“This has enabled us to not only push forward with our aggressive expansion plans, but also to prematurely move ahead with our main goal - our tech pivot.”

“Our raison d’etre is delivering guilt free, delicious takeaways - but for us, we see tech playing such an incremental role in terms of food preparation, but also UX and of course, delivery.”
