- The chain maintains a simple menu of five core items including Crispy Chicken Fingers and Craveable Cane Sauce, with customers notably praising the signature sauce as "next level." Celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Post Malone are known fans.
- This London flagship marks the start of a wider European rollout, with the company exploring additional central London locations including Oxford Circus and The Strand. The company aims to establish this flagship within 18 months.
