POD Food Ltd closed a total of £450,000, including £250,000 from Members of Envestors Private Investor Network.pod is a healthy fast food retailer offering a seasonal menu of hot and chilled dishes, healthy beverages and snacks. pod’s first outlet opened in October 2005 at 162 London Wall EC2, the second at 5 Lloyds Avenue, EC3N 3AE in February 2008 and the third opens on 3 December at Devonshire Square EC2M 4YP. The pod menu has been constructed to create a 21st. Century fast food chain with international potential. The healthy products are easy to buy, store, prepare and serve via an operating system the directors believe to be less labour intensive than those of competitors. As a result, pod generates the same or higher gross margin as established competitors, but with a higher average spend in a mature outlet. The directors believe this more efficient business model should generate a high level of return on capital for the sector, which in turn will create a highly valued business.
