PAR Café (Lima): beat its S/1.4 million annual goal by September, according to its owner

At the meeting on November 6, 2026, Eduardo Rodríguez explained: “And that’s quite good for us, and it’s thanks to the whole PAR Café team and to our external team like Fiorella and you, who help us take what we do to more people, right? So that more people can visit us.” The credit is shared, not Gastrup’s alone.

Eduardo explained: “And you set us a goal, Julián, of one million four hundred thousand for this year, right? And the good news is that through September we’re at one million five hundred thirty, right?”

On monthly sales, he said: “Remember that last year we told you we were doing, monthly, something like 70, 80 thousand soles a month, and now we’re at 150, 140 a month, right?” The ranges don’t represent a single growth percentage and aren’t compared with a specific month.

On occupancy: “And the restaurant space is now packed during the day.” On reservations: “reservations have gone very well for us this year; before we didn’t have reservations, now we do, we also have reservations every week.”

The figures are the owner’s statements, not audited financial statements. The S/1.7 million is a year-end projection, not realized sales. Results depend on each restaurant’s context.

Quotes translated from Spanish. The owner reported the figures in Peruvian soles (S/); USD equivalents are approximate, converted by Gastrup at S/3.42 per USD (market reference, November 10, 2026). The projection is shown in soles only.

“Thank you all, because without you we wouldn’t have the reach we have now.”
