Dahmakan will primarily be focused on building up its presence in Kuala Lumpur for the rest of this year, though it is eyeing Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Singapore for potential next moves. Co-founder and COO Jessica Li says a soft launch in a second market is slated for sometime during the final quarter of this year. The funding it secured will mainly be used to hire technology and marketing talent.

 

Dahmakan turns this concept on its head by centralizing all orders and producing them in one kitchen, so the focus can be on the delivery aspect. “We save tremendously on labor costs, and work with bulk processes – instead of cooking several small pots, we can make one huge pot – and that also means we get much better purchasing prices from suppliers,” says Weins. “That obviously gives us much more bargaining power than a small restaurant that serves a few hundred.”
