INSHI

A bistro that aims to integrate Ukrainian cuisine into local gastronomy around the world.

INSHI – a bistro of Ukrainian cuisine for every day. (INSHI - Ukrainian cuisine for every day.)

INSHI Bistro came to be in the heart of Lviv, on Soborna Square. It is an embodiment of a bold idea of restaurateur Yevhen Klopotenko and entrepreneur Inna Popershniuk.

Yevhen Klopotenko is a well-known Ukrainian chef and the only Ukrainian who has achieved “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants” status – a list of professionals who expand the boundaries of gastronomy. Among Yevhen’s important victories was securing a spot for Ukrainian borshch on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Inna Popershniuk is a well-known entrepreneur and public figure in Ukraine and abroad, the co-founder of the "Nova Poshta" postal service. According to Focus magazine, she was rated among the “100 most influential women of Ukraine”.

Together they decided to not just open another restaurant, but to create something unique – a place where Ukrainian traditions harmoniously intertwine with global culinary trends.

Results

The ambitions of the INSHI team are not limited to local success. The first stage of the plan was to launch a franchise in Ukraine in order to work out the business model between the franchisor and franchisee, and later enter international markets.


However, the strategy was changed at the request of the owners, and now the brand is focused exclusively on the markets of the UK, the USA and Japan.


Now, the team is actively negotiating with embassies and other representative offices of these countries in search of reliable partners.

To achieve this ambitious goal, it was necessary not only to develop a franchise, but also to create a system that would allow the INSHI brand to grow and develop abroad.

What did we do?

  • Marketing audit and concept. Based on the collected analytics, an international franchise concept was created. It embodied the idea of the globalization of Ukrainian cuisine with a modern accent.
  • Financial model. A clear and transparent financial model was developed, and now it is the basis for attracting international partners and is actively used in sales.
  • Light rebranding. During our collaboration, the name was changed to “Beetroot” to adapt to the international market.
  • Marketing materials. A structure and copyright for the presentation and landing page were created; support was provided for the presentation design and a website was launched to attract potential franchise partners.
  • Franchise sales materials were developed. Sales were launched and support was provided for the sales process to set up the system.
  • Legal support. Given the specifics of different countries, the necessary legal documents were adapted. In particular, we drew up a preliminary international franchise agreement.
  • Automation of opening and operation standards. The FMS system was implemented for effective franchise management. The use of the FMS platform allowed standardizing the opening and management processes, ensuring the same high quality in each new establishment. In addition, the platform is adapted to different languages, which greatly facilitates the company’s international development.
  • Additionally, the franchise’s visibility was increased through a catalogue, articles on the MOST Franchising blog, and articles in publications.

What next?

Our goal for the coming years is not just to increase the number of franchises, but to become a recognized leader in popularizing Ukrainian cuisine on a global level.
