- Casual Restaurants, Inc. is a Taiwan-based hospitality and food service management company primarily engaged in the operation, development, and franchising of Western casual dining restaurant chains and gourmet food retail concepts. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, the company operates an extensive restaurant network across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. Casual Restaurants, Inc. delivers its food, beverage, and retail services through a diversified portfolio of licensed international franchises and proprietary dining concepts: American casual dining and bar services through licensed TGI Fridays locations, offering signature appetizers, grilled steaks, ribs, burgers, and handcrafted cocktails; American steakhouse hospitality through licensed Texas Roadhouse restaurants, specializing in hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch side dishes, and fresh-baked rolls; Italian-American casual dining through proprietary brand Amaroni's New York Italian, featuring artisan pizzas, pasta dishes, and classic Italian entrees; American comfort fare through proprietary brand Dan Ryan's Chicago Grill, serving Chicago-style barbecued ribs, burgers, steaks, and sandwiches; California-inspired casual dining through proprietary concept LillA, providing bakery, brunch, and bistro-style West Coast dishes; modern Californian-Italian casual dining through SALT & STONE, offering house-made pastas, sourdough pizzas, and seasonal entrees; and premium retail butchery and dining services through Taylor Butchery, offering high-grade retail meats, including Australian full-blood Wagyu and American natural beef, paired with bespoke butchering and culinary tasting services. Originally established as Bayshore Pacific Hospitality prior to its corporate rebranding in 2021, the company has executed several significant strategic initiatives and operational expansions, including its public listing on the Taipei Exchange Emerging Stock Board under ticker 7789 in November 2024. In late 2024 and early 2025, Casual Restaurants, Inc. completed the strategic acquisition of the popular dining brand SALT & STONE and subsequently expanded the brand into prime commercial developments such as Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Nangang and Taipei Dome Far Eastern Garden City. In March 2025, the company formally diversified into specialty retail food operations with the inaugural opening of its Taylor Butchery storefront, advancing its dual-engine growth strategy to scale both licensed global franchise operations and proprietary lifestyle food and beverage brands across Greater China.
