If you are dealing with the company, be aware of the following details:
• The Examinership: The High Court appointed an interim examiner. While the physical store, restaurant, and other activities remain open, all customer orders and refund requests from before April 24, 2026, were frozen. ® Rathwood
• Customer Warning: The appointed examiner warned that roughly 7,000 customers owed money for unfulfilled orders or pending refunds will likely receive only a "small" amount of what they are owed.
