Subsidiaries recognized for business excellence

‍

Starfleet's community was also recognized for its strong performance this past quarter with a number of prestigious accolades from national awards bodies.

‍

Global F&B franchise business Epiphany Cafe was awarded last week the Franchise System Excellence Award in Sustainability by the Franchise Association of New Zealand (FANZ). This is the latest in a series of accolades that Epiphany Cafe has garnered over the years for operational excellence, product innovation, and community impact. As the flagship F&B business of global investments holding company Starfleet Innotech, Epiphany Cafe represents the innovative, tech-enabled strategies Starfleet employs to scale its companies across emerging and developed markets.

‍

Through Starfleet Innotech, Epiphany Cafe has managed to scale a lean franchising model, built using their Smart Freeze Technology. This proprietary flour premix allows their products to be frozen for up to three months while still maintaining fresh-like quality upon thawing. This not only minimizes end-of-day wastage at franchise locations, but also streamlines the franchise system's logistical needs and corresponding emissions. Jeths Lacson, Starfleet Innotech CEO and founder of Epiphany Cafe, describes this as a triple-win for franchisees, their customers, and the environment.

‍

"The model we've built around Smart Freeze is a game changer in New Zealand, where logistics and food waste are the primary hurdles for growing F&B franchises," he said. "During the pandemic, we saw an opportunity to restructure our business model to suit the new behaviors and needs of our loyal customers. Through thorough market research, we've managed to build flexible franchising and licensing models that champion sustainability while also meeting the capital needs of our franchisees. Through these models, we've managed to bring on 83 new locations across New Zealand-all buoyed by our Smart Freeze technology, driving up profits while keeping environmental impact at a minimum."

‍

In addition to being named a national leader in Franchise System Excellence, Epiphany Cafe was also among the finalists in the Franchisee of the Year category, with FANZ honoring their Chartwell Mall location among New Zealand's most successful small businesses.

‍

Similarly, Starfleet Innotech's Chief Financial Officer Michael Venezuela received his own award over the past weekend, being named the Entrepreneur of the Year by the Australian Council of Multicultural Entrepreneurs. As the CEO of MLV Accounting, a Starfleet Innotech subsidiary supported by the global investments holding company, Venezuela managed to grow his client base 30% this year. MLV Accounting is now relocating to its new larger offices in Melbourne, Australia to better serve this growing client base.
