Partnerships

Partner withGENESIS.

20+ years of operating experience, available as local operator, master franchisee or growth partner to the right brands, investors and property owners.

01 — Who this is for

One proposition.
Different relevance for each partner.

International & regional brands

GENESIS has built, launched and scaled a 24-venue portfolio of owned formats in Hong Kong from zero. The same operating discipline is available directly — as local operating partner, or as master franchisee with development rights across the market.

Private equity, investors & family offices

Hands-on operating experience, not advisory experience — proven across 24 venues and repeat multi-site rollouts. Available as operating partner through an acquisition, buyout or growth phase.

Property owners & developers

An operator that understands how hospitality concepts function commercially and operationally within a wider property or development context.

Strategic partners

Operating, development, brand and market experience brought to a shared venture, JV or acquisition.

02 — Ways to partner
Market entry
Local operating partner
Bringing an international or regional brand into Hong Kong with a partner who already operates here.
Master franchise
Development rights, one market
Taking on master franchise or area development rights for a brand entering Hong Kong or the wider region, built on GENESIS's own record of scaling formats to multiple sites.
Operating partner
GENESIS runs it, you own it
Hands-on operating leadership contributed to a venue, portfolio or platform owned by others.
Growth & PE partnerships
Multi-site scaling, applied
The same playbook behind Gourmet Burger Union's six sites and Craft Brew & Co.'s three, applied to a portfolio company under a growth or buyout mandate.
Joint ventures
Shared capital, shared operation
Structured JVs with capital, brand or property partners.
Property & development
Site-led development
Working with property owners and developers on hospitality activation and repositioning.
03 — Brands & franchise

Two directions,
one operating standard.

Selected GENESIS brands are available for licensing or franchise development with qualified partners in new markets. Enquiries are considered individually, brand by brand.

GENESIS is equally open to taking on master franchise or development rights for the right international brand entering Hong Kong or the wider region — the same operating discipline built across its own portfolio, applied to someone else's concept.

Opening a single venue yourself, rather than partnering with GENESIS at scale? See Concept to Launch.
