Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
Review of business |
The company currently operates five stores throughout London, employing more than 360 members of staff. |
As a result of the 2023 menu and marketing strategy, alongside the execution of incremental price rises, the company has seen increased sales growth as the company continues to operate against the backdrop of significant macro-economic challenges. |
Given the direct link between our approach to pricing, the external environment, and our success in relation to our customers, we will continue to remain close to understanding this relationship and look constantly to evaluate how our internal actions are impacting our customers. |
The financial position of the company is healthy with the balance sheet showing net assets of £81k compared to £136k in 2022. |
Key performance indicators |
Sales for the year amounted to £15.59 million, an increase of £5.58 million from 2022 giving an overall sales increase of approximately 55.78%. The growth in sales is predominantly due to the acquisition of two new stores within the year and the continued growth in delivery sales. On a like for like basis for the three stores trading in both financial years, sales increased by 32.45%. |
The gross profit margin is 65.06% compared to 65.41% in 2022 and is in line with expectations. |
Future developments |
2023 economic trends are broadly expected to continue into 2024. |
As in 2023, sales growth in 2024 will be predominantly driven by year on year pricing benefit. This will particularly benefit Q1 (Quarter 1) before we annualise price moves made in 2023. To counter any potential negative GC (Guest Count) impact from price rises, we have a strong marketing calendar, with particular focus on value at key parts of the year. The calendar also includes a higher number of innovative promotional pies and new McFlurry flavour variants, both of which drove strong incremental sales and visits in 2023. Given the uncertain market environment, we will as ever need to remain flexible and adaptive should we begin to see any risks to this plan. |
We also expect to see continued incremental sales benefit in 2024 from the MyMcDonald's application, with a greater customer base engaged with the MyMcDonald's Rewards scheme, and refined CRM communications to encourage customer frequency. |
Instores and Drive Thrus are likely to see similar levels and phasing of sales growth in 2024, as we move away from any lingering COVID-19 impact. The percentage of sales and phasing coming through McDelivery is likely to remain stable year on year. |
The 2023 pricing strategy has been bold, utilising a front-loaded approach, with five pricing rounds overall. From this, circa 5% MBI (Menu Board Index) benefit will be carried into 2024. |
The Price Strategy Group will continue to take a strategic, customer-led approach throughout 2024, for which four price moves are planned. Rather than utilising a front-loaded approach, the price rounds are expected to be more balanced in 2024, with the timing, scale and menu items included in the pricing recommendations leveraging the exciting marketing plan that is in place. As with recent years, the group will remain agile against the backdrop of a challenging external environment. |
The 2024 pricing strategy will ensure gross margin growth, whilst maintaining the business' value proposition. The group will focus on driving sustainable growth - for example, building upon the work which has been done so far on value and delivery, and refining the long-term view of pricing and menu architecture. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
The company is continually assessing all risks with an aim to mitigate any future threats these may have on the business. |
Economic risk |
Following some very challenging times, we are optimistic about the economic future. Customer confidence continues to rise and unemployment rates are falling. A cautious approach is still required as real disposable income continues to decline as the cost of living and interest rates continue to rise. Principal risks are increasing commodity prices, increased utility costs and labour rates adding pressure to margins with significant upward movements in interest rates that may also increase costs. The first mentioned risk is controlled by McDonald's collective purchasing initiatives. |
The level of borrowing is such that interest rate increases remain manageable. |
Supply Chain Inflation |
We have continued to work at mitigating the impact of food and paper inflation within our 2024 outlook - this has resulted in further improvement with a range of 3% - 6% food and paper inflation now anticipated for the UK. We are also continuing to see increased levels of cost certainty, with an expectation that circa 40% of our costs will be secured by the end of December. |
As with previous outlook, we expect a relatively flat profile through the year. The increases we are expecting continue to be driven by commodity price on particular categories, as well as market labour increases. The focus of McDonald's negotiations remains on assured supply and to put farmers and growers in a position to continue developing alongside the business. |
Our 2024 forecast is made up of two elements: |
- Baseline inflation of circa 1.5% carry over from 2023 increases. |
- In-year inflation of 1.5% - 4.5% on prices negotiated for 2024. |
Regulatory risks |
The company's operations demand a high level of compliance within a wide range of regulatory requirements. In particular: |
- Health and safety |
- Hygiene procedures |
- Employment laws |
- Licensing |
The above, along with a number of other areas, are monitored in detail by McDonald's, as being in the fast food industry brings a high level of regulatory concerns. |
Consumer taste |
Any material changes in the way the consumer views the fast food industry could have an adverse effect on the company. However, this can also work in the opposite direction and could assist the company to achieve growth. As a result, the company focuses, in detail, on recognising demographic trends, ensuring innovation and the use of the freshest and highest quality products through its stores. The company has strict policies to ensure that all stores are maintaining the McDonald's ethos. |
Competitors |
The fast food market is a very competitive market, with a high number of large competitors trading in the sector. In order to remain as one of the main players, McDonald's have dedicated teams who focus on ensuring they remain a leading company within the market. This allows them to compete with other large fast food chains. |
With these risks and uncertainties in mind, we are aware that any plans for the future development of the business may be subject to unforeseen future events outside our control, hence we are constantly assessing our plans in line with the current environment. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
Principal activity |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the operation of McDonald's franchised restaurants. |
Dividends |
Interim dividends of £440.00 per A share was paid on 31 March 2023. Further interim dividends of £493.33 per A share and £40.00 per B share was paid on 27 October 2023. |
The directors recommend that no final dividends be paid. |
The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 December 2023 was £71,000. |
Research and development |
The company does not carry out any independent research and development. However the franchisor, McDonald's Restaurants Limited, carries out its own research and development on behalf of all franchisees. The company makes a contribution towards this through its existing payments to the franchisor. |
Directors |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2023 to the date of this report. |
Going concern |
The company is in a net current liabilities position at the balance sheet date, however this is a reflection of the nature of the fast food industry and not a reflection of the strength of the business. |
The directors have considered the application of the going concern basis of accounting, and in doing so they have considered the period from the date of this report until 31 December 2025. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
Employment of disabled persons |
The company operates a policy of giving full & fair consideration to employment applications from disabled persons. |
Provision of information to employees |
The company has a system for providing employees with information of concern to them. It also consults employees on a regular basis so that their views can be taken into account in making decisions affecting them. It regularly explains to employees the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the company and makes them aware of the provision of training, career development and employment of disabled employees. |
Engagement with employees |
Our employees are fundamental to the delivery of our plan. We aim to be a responsible employer in our approach the to pay and benefits our employees receive. The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is one of our primary considerations in the way we do business. |
Directors' responsibilities statement |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |

On behalf of the board: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
RestaurantOne20 Limited |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on pages four and five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Based on our understanding of the industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance related to breaches of health and safety, including food hygiene. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material affect on the financial statements. |
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006. We examined management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of overriding of controls) and determined that the principal risks were relating to management bias in accounting estimates, in particular those of accrued liabilities and the useful life of tangible assets. |
We also discussed with management the possibility of non-compliance with health and safety and food hygiene regulations and reviewed the management controls in place to detect such irregularities. Audit procedures included challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates. There are inherent limitations in the Audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions described in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one due to error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. |
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatement we obtained an understanding of; the entities operations, including the nature of its revenue sources and services and of its objectives and strategies to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Other matter |
The prior year financial statements and consequently the comparative figures presented here, are unaudited. Our audit opinion is not qualified in this respect. |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The company is in a net current liabilities position at the balance sheet date, however this is a reflection of the nature of the fast food industry and not a reflection of the strength of the business. |
The directors have considered the application of the going concern basis of accounting, and in doing so they have considered the period from the date of this report until 31 December 2025. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, usually at the point of sale, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be reliably measured. |
Franchise rights and fees |
Franchise rights and fees are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at costs less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. They are amortised evenly over their useful lives, which is taken as the term specified in the franchise agreements. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Short leasehold | - |
Restaurant equipment | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Cash at bank and in hand |
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets comprising of cash in hand, demand deposits with bank, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within current liabilities. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |

for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
2. | Accounting policies - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Impairment of fixed assets |
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to each asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. |
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. |
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. |
Holiday pay accrual |
A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the Balance Sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the Balance Sheet date. |

Financial instruments |
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment cost is measured at the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the assets effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
For assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date. |
Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Finance costs |
Finance costs are charged to the Profit and Loss Account over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument. |
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they legally become payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. |
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the process of applying the company's accounting policies, management are required to make certain estimates and judgements. The key estimates and judgements are as follows: |
Depreciation, amortisation and residual values |
The director has reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes and has concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate. |
Impairment of fixed assets |
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. |
Holiday pay accrual |
A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the Balance Sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the Balance Sheet date. |
