Restaurant chain needs staff to cope with rapid expansion
The terms hotpot and Little Sheep have become synonymous when it comes to the popular Chinese fare used to warm the winter blues.
Little Sheep Group introduced the popular dish with a new light pairing of lamb pastured in the green lands of Inner Mongolia with a secret soup base that ousted the need for dipping sauce, traditionally an integral part of the feast.
'People like it and whenever we talk about Inner Mongolia, they think of Little Sheep and whenever they think about hotpot, they think of us,' said chief operating officer Yuka Yeung.
Little Sheep's triumph as one of China's fastest-growing restaurant chains has translated to international fame and an oversubscription when it listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year and raised HK$779.7 million from its initial public offering.
But, as is usual with all kinds of achievements, there are always a few bumps along the way that need smoothing out - and one of those is the need for manpower as the group expands.
