The Company:
MUMU Hot Pot is a full-service, fast, and casual restaurant that cares about one thing: bringing a unique, delicious, and excellent hot pot dining experience to their customers.

Planning to open in February 2018, MUMU will cater to both solo and group diners, with streamlined DIY menu and operations to enable faster service, as well as a bar-style setup to allow for more seating. The MUMU management team is no newbie to the hot pot restaurant scene, as they’ve already successfully developed hot pot recipes and formats with MUMU Hot Pot’s sister restaurants, Boiling Hot Pot. Boiling Hot Pot has one location in Fremont and one in San Francisco, and between those two locations, sales have reached over $1.2 million in revenue per restaurant in 2017, with nearly 15% net margins. Now, hot pot lovers and solo shoppers alike can enjoy an excellent hot pot experience in the Pleasanton and Livermore area.

Add in MUMU’s already successful sister restaurants with the the nine million annual visitors to the outlets, and you realize this restaurant might be on a savory slope to (tasty!) success.
