About
Desperado Mexican Restaurant & Bar offers a vibrant dining experience centered around authentic Mexican cuisine, featuring a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences. Founded in 2000, Desperado Mexican Restaurant & Bar operates in Basel, Switzerland, providing a unique dining experience focused on Mexican culinary traditions. The company has not pivoted in its core operations and does not have any known subsidiaries. In July 2017, Ufenau Capital Partners, along with company management, acquired a majority stake in the restaurant, although financial terms were not disclosed.
The CEO of Desperado is Christian Wilhelm, who is dedicated to maintaining the restaurant's commitment to quality. Desperado Moosseedorf specializes in offering a wide range of culinary offerings centered on Mexican cuisine. The restaurant presents an extensive menu that includes appetizers, main courses, desserts, and beverages, designed to meet various customer preferences and dietary needs. They also provide take-away options, allowing customers to enjoy their meals off-site, often at a discounted price of 10%.
Desperado aims to create an engaging dining experience for local residents and visitors seeking authentic Mexican flavors in a convivial atmosphere, attracting families, couples, and groups. Desperado Moosseedorf generates revenue primarily through direct-to-consumer transactions from in-restaurant dining and take-away services. Customers can place their orders by visiting the restaurant or by calling in for take-away, with revenue structured around individual meal purchases and potential bulk orders for special events. While specific pricing plans and transactional volumes are not disclosed, the restaurant's flagship offerings, including signature dishes and seasonal specials, contribute to its fiscal health.
Desperado Mexican Restaurant & Bar plans to leverage recent funding to enhance its offerings and expand its market presence. The restaurant is exploring new product launches to enrich its menu. Additionally, they aim to expand into neighboring regions, although specific targets and timelines have yet to be detailed. The funds from the most recent deal in July 2017 with Ufenau Capital Partners will be utilized to support these growth initiatives.
