saintpeter, he`s grumpy because his beloved Bigdish, soon to be no more dish, is hitting a brick wall of avenues to take them out of their severe cash flow issues. At their peak they were getting £4 per week per restaurant, and that was before anyone had ever heard of coronavirus.
The one subject he will not mention is the amount of cash IMMO have in the bank, having just raised and oversubscribed £2.8m, and how much cash Dish haven`t got running in to this perfect storm scenario for restaurants....you can`t eat without using your hands, so people are just going to stop going out to eat altogether while the spread worsens to its peak, whenever that will be.
IMMO have plenty of cash to navigate through any drop in footfall, and remember, their revenues are big, so they could drop by 90% and still make more money that Dish. EBITDA breakeven forecast for IMMO at the end of this quarter, only weeks away, so even if the footfall drops for a month or two IMMO will easily survive, dish won`t unless they raise funds at a dramatically lower price, 1p is my guess.
VR is definitely the future, and IMMO have a unique product, displacing older 3D experiences, as they are in the Mandalay Bay MGM Las Vegas with the new 36 seater theatre experience, you can`t get much more promotion and endorsement than that.
IMMO`s locations are global, from Dubai to Las Vegas, Chicago to Saudi Arabia, and a huge scattering in the UK from Blackpool to Bristol to London with all the big name attractions covered.
I know which share I`d rather be in in the current circumstances, the one with the funds to survive, the one with high revenue numbers, and lets face it, the one in the exciting sector.....who wants to be just another wannabe competitor in an already swamped discount diner sector!
Best thing to do with grumpy is filter him, specially when he`s grumpy...which is most of the time!
