Posted by AFN Staff Writers on 13th January 2016

OportoAustralian fast food chicken chain Oporto will be undertaking a fresh approach in its business during 2016.

 

Operating since 1986, Oporto will be updating its restaurants to what the chain describes as a “warmer, more authentic natural modern aesthetic”.

 

The re-brand will include an update of employee uniforms and the relaunch of the company’s ‘Original Chilli Sauce’ which will be made using fresh ingredients.

 

“We retain our traditional recipes where our sauce was hand made by founder Antonio Cerqueria from a family recipe,” said Oporto CEO Craig Tozer said.

 

“Our customers have told us that our refurbishments so far have brought us up to date, making Oporto a fun, vibrant place for them to visit and enjoy the famous Bondi Burger and Portuguese flame grilled chicken that we all love,” Tozer said.
