YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Protecting restaurant margins amid input-cost volatility
- Inflation closed at 1.97% in 2024, but fluctuating produce, protein and transport costs continue to compress margins across menu-led formats.
- YCP’s cost-to-serve diagnostics, menu engineering and supplier strategies align portions, pricing and procurement with target margins.
Building dependable teams in a highly informal market
- More than 70% of Peru’s workforce is informal, making recruitment, training and retention difficult for operators pursuing consistent service.
- Workforce design, role-based training and practical operating playbooks help YCP raise productivity and strengthen retention across outlets.
Converting uneven tourism recovery into steady demand
- International arrivals reached about 3.3 million in 2024, still below 2019 levels, leaving tourist-focused venues exposed to uneven demand.
- Market segmentation, local-demand programs and flexible capacity planning help YCP reduce reliance on seasonal visitor flows.
Standing out in Peru’s dense MSME foodservice market
- Micro and small enterprises represent more than 99% of Peruvian businesses, intensifying local competition and fragmenting foodservice demand.
- Customer insights, concept positioning and location economics allow YCP to sharpen differentiation and prioritize profitable growth.
