Canadian omnichannel franchise restaurant group Carbone Restaurant Group (CRG) has raised $1.9m (C$2.5m) in a financing round that was led by Gravitas Securities.

The restaurant group intends to use the capital infusion to leverage technology and data for introducing disruptive changes in the restaurant industry by up-scaling its ghost kitchen brands, bricks-and-mortar franchises and robotics concepts.

CRG founder and CEO Benjamin Nasberg said: “We are bringing game-changing concepts and technology into the restaurant industry. This strategic investment will allow us to take CRG to new heights and capitalise on our business development plans.”

The new financing comes after the company secured new development and franchising partners across Canada for its ‘Fast Fired by Carbone’ quick-service restaurant pizza franchise concept.

It plans to open more than 100 kitchens and restaurant franchises over the next several years.

Furthermore, CRG is launching several ghost kitchen brands through which it will be able to scale its business rapidly.
