The Top Toast: Ya Kun and the Singapore Breakfast Tradition
William Koh

ISBN: 9789814281652
The Top Toast looks at how Adrin Loi took his father's business from a street corner coffee stall, and turned it into a household name in Singapore. From a single outlet at Far East Square in 1998, Ya Kun Kaya Toast now has 32 branches located throughout Singapore, and has also expanded to regional territories such as Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam. This book gives the reader an insight into Adrin Loi's leadership, motivation and drive, and his passion to grow Ya Kun International. It also looks at the importance of human resource management in growing a company, and having the right organisational structure and culture to support business growth.
Finally, the book examines the strategic choices that confront a small business. Unlike an MNC that can compete in any market by selling the same product, Ya Kun has to choose its products carefully, select its battlefield with wisdom and grow strategically.
