I think GRIL needs to be looked at and bought :)

"We are extremely pleased with MMI's performance this quarter - fueled by our new diversification strategy. Investors may notice a growing disparity in the operating results between the two business units and management is committed to focusing our resources on the path that will create the most value for shareholders going forward. We are confident in the future of both Sadot in the global supply-chain and our restaurant group as it's downstream retail vertical, and we look forward to continued growth in the months and years to come," commented Mr. Roper.

Revenue went from $3 million to $213 million QoverQ!!!

About Muscle Maker, Inc.
In late 2022, Muscle Maker began its evolution from a consumer-focused, U.S. restaurant business into a global, food-focused organization with two distinct business units:

Sadot LLC
Muscle Maker's largest operating unit is its newly-created subsidiary, Sadot LLC . Sadot is an international agri-foods company engaged in trading and shipping food (and feed) commodities such as soybean meal, wheat and corn. Sadot was formed in partnership with Aggia LLC FZ, a Dubai based, international consulting firm that provides services to companies operating in the global food supply chain.

MMI Restaurant Group
Muscle Maker's legacy business is our limited collection of 50+ restaurants, including Pokémoto Hawaiian Poké & Boba Tea and Muscle Maker Grill , and our subscription, fresh-prep meal service, Superfit Foods , with 30+ points of distribution plus in-home and national delivery. All three concepts compete in the growing healthier-for-you segment. National franchise development of the Pokémoto concept is the key growth driver with more than 45 franchise units already in the pipeline.
