Losses at the company behind the Five Guys franchise here last year more than halved to €504,645 as the business dealt with the impact of Covid-19.
Sons of billionaire financier, Dermot Desmond, Brett, Ross and Dery brought the US fast casual food franchise here in 2016.
Today, Five Guys operates four outlets around Dublin at South Great George's Street, Blackrock, Swords and the Dundrum shopping centre.
Numbers employed at the business increased from 96 to 102 in the 12 months to the end of March last year as the company began to be impacted by Covid-19.
Currently, the impact of Covid-19 Government restrictions has resulted in Five Guys city centre outlets providing a collect and delivery service.
New accounts lodged by the Desmond brothers’ Anart Restaurants Ltd show that the company recorded losses of €505,645 in the 12 months to the end of March last.

At the end of March 2020, Anart Restaurants Ltd's accumulated losses totalled €2m.

The note adds that "management is continuing to monitor Government guidance including a review of the current situation in relation to Covid-19".
