The F&B business - where KFC and Pizza Hut are parked under - is the jewel in the QSR Group. Hence why a bulk of the proceeds from the upcoming re-listing of QSR group would be used to further expand its F&B business.

We talk to Merrill about the business division’s growth strategies with the impending IPO exercise in the pipeline for their parent company that could bring about RM2 billion of fresh funds.

We also dive into the earnings trend of the businesses and look at whether the recent imposition of sugar tax would impact their margins.

Merrill shares with us the restaurant division's digital strategy.

We ask Merill.

Listen in.
