What was the percentage drop in wholesale and cafe sales for Three Little Birds?

Question

Accepted Answer

Three Little Birds saw a 90% drop in wholesale sales and a 75% drop in sales at both cafés.

Three Little Birds Coffee and Artisan Roastery said its wholesale arm fell by 90%, while both of its cafés recorded a 75% drop in sales. The business also said it was not on any delivery platform, which added to the pressure during the Movement Control Order period.
The wholesale arm took the biggest hit

The wholesale side of the business dropped by 90%, making it the steepest decline reported by the company. This affected the roastery that sells roasted coffee beans.
Both cafés recorded the same decline

The Three Little Birds cafés at D7 Sentul and Desa Parkcity each saw sales fall by 75%. The business said reduced movement during the MCO and customer caution kept walk-in traffic low.
Delivery was not part of its sales model

The company said it was not on any delivery platform when sales fell. It also said it felt it was too risky to jump into delivery quickly because it was not familiar with that channel and had not planned for it.
The drop came as rental and overheads remained

Even with lower traffic, the business still had to pay rental and other overhead costs because it is a brick-and-mortar operation. Mah also said the company later had to discuss pay cuts with staff, ranging from 10% to 25%, after the financial strain worsened in April.
