Building scalable hospitality platforms

SITELY
FoodTech Hospitality Consolidation Growth Fund

SITELY FoodTech Hospitality Consolidation Growth Fund is a SICAV sub-fund managed by Anderton SICAV p.l.c. The Fund pursues a flexible buy-and-build investment strategy focused on the creation and development of scalable, technology-enabled platforms within the hospitality sector, including restaurant concepts, franchise networks, hotel platforms and related business models (FMCG). The investment thesis is centered on the consolidation of fragmented operators, restaurant concepts and franchise systems, combined with the integration of technology and IT solutions tailored to the HORECA and broader hospitality ecosystem. Such solutions may include digital ordering systems, customer engagement platforms, data analytics, revenue management tools and operational optimisation technologies designed to enhance efficiency, scalability and customer experience.

‍
The Fund adopts a broad and flexible investment mandate and may invest across various stages of development, including start-ups, emerging restaurant concepts, franchise-driven businesses, scale-ups, growth-stage companies and mature platforms, whether listed or unlisted. Investments may be structured through equity, quasi-equity and debt instruments, including shares, convertible instruments and bonds, without any predetermined structural bias.
A distinguishing feature of the strategy is the integration of a selective real estate component. Where appropriate, the Fund may acquire, control or otherwise secure rights to strategically significant real estate assets underlying hospitality operations, including restaurant locations and hotel properties. This approach is intended to enhance operational stability, strengthen platform value and provide additional downside protection, in a manner consistent with practices adopted by leading global hospitality operators.

‍
The Fund intends to actively manage its portfolio by supporting growth through acquisitions, the roll-out of proprietary restaurant concepts, expansion of franchise networks, operational improvements and the deployment of technology solutions, with the objective of building institutional-quality platforms capable of scaling across multiple markets. Geographically, the Fund will primarily focus on opportunities in Europe, with particular concentration in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), while retaining the flexibility to pursue investments in other jurisdictions where consistent with its investment strategy and objectives. The strategy seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through a combination of consolidation-driven growth, expansion of concepts and franchise systems, operational value creation, technology integration and selective real estate exposure. Potential exit strategies may include strategic sales, secondary transactions and capital markets transactions.
