The revenue structure of Ismaya Group is primarily derived from direct consumer transactions within its various dining establishments and through the ISMAYA+ app. Customers access a range of food and beverage offerings, with transactions typically occurring on a pay-per-visit basis at restaurants, as well as via app-driven promotions that encourage repeat patronage. Partnerships with local suppliers help ensure a variety of fresh ingredients are sourced for their diverse menus. The app also introduces a subscription model for exclusive rewards, further incentivizing customer loyalty.

Each establishment offers a unique pricing strategy aligned with its market position, catering to both budget-conscious diners and those seeking premium dining experiences, though specific pricing details for individual products and services are proprietary. In June 2022, Ismaya Group raised USD 18. 2 mn in a venture round led by East Ventures to expand its operations. The funding will be utilized to expand its offices and hire new staff for business production.

The company is developing new products and enhancing its ISMAYA+ app with more features aimed at enriching user experience. Ismaya Group is also exploring opportunities for expansion into new markets, particularly focusing on other major urban centers in Indonesia by the end of 2023.
