Who we are

Resto Group is a multi-brand franchise operator.

We bring world-class restaurant brands to the DRC and run them end to end, from the central kitchen to the table. Part of a group with a footprint across five countries. We operate international franchises to their global standard and create our own concepts for this market, carried by teams who know Kinshasa and the infrastructure behind them: supply chain, warehousing and a central kitchen.
