As recently as June 2026, the company had 12 restaurants in Kyiv and was planning to expand its business, but closed all its outlets in the autumn. One of the main reasons was financial losses caused by prolonged air raid alerts, which forced restaurants in shopping centres to suspend operations. Compared with the pre-war period, the chain\u2019s turnover fell by 45 per cent, and the business\u2019s profitability deteriorated significantly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salateira has ceased operations in Ukraine after nearly 15 years of business.<\/li>\n<li>Back in June 2026, the chain had 12 restaurants in Kyiv.<\/li>\n<li>Due to air raid alerts, the takings of these establishments have fallen by 45 per cent compared with pre-war levels.<\/li>\n<li>An hour of enforced closure cost the restaurant up to 30,000 hryvnias.<\/li>\n<li>Despite plans to expand in Ukraine and Romania, the company has closed all its outlets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why did the Salateira chain close down?<\/h2>\n<p>The company\u2019s financial difficulties became apparent as early as the beginning of 2026. A significant proportion of the restaurants were located in shopping centres in the capital, which regularly suspended operations during air raid alerts. As a result, the restaurants lost customers and revenue, whilst continuing to incur costs for rent, staff and premises maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the co-founder of Salateira <strong>Oleksandr Savilov<\/strong> He told Forbes Ukraine that the number of receipts had fallen by 30 per cent, turnover by 45 per cent, and the business\u2019s profit margin had halved. According to his estimates, each hour of enforced closure cost a single restaurant between 10,000 and 30,000 hryvnias.<\/p>\n<p>This deterioration was also reflected in the financial figures. According to YouControl, Salateira LLC\u2019s revenue fell from 287.8 million hryvnias in 2023 to 193.6 million hryvnias in 2025. In the first half of 2026, the company generated 78.7 million hryvnias in revenue \u2014 almost 26 per cent less than in the same period the previous year.<\/p>\n<h2>The company had planned to expand, but closed all its outlets<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the difficulties, Salateira\u2019s management was already exploring ways to revive the business back in the summer. The company planned to revamp its restaurant format, expand its franchising operations in western Ukraine and enter the Romanian market.<\/p>\n<p>To attract new partners, the franchise entry fee has been halved to 10,000 dollars. The chain has also taken out a loan of 5 million hryvnias.<\/p>\n<p>However, these plans did not come to fruition. In the autumn, the Salateira restaurants ceased trading, and the company\u2019s official website became inaccessible.<\/p>\n<h2>Another restaurant has opened in the River Mall, in the space previously occupied by Salateira<\/h2>\n<p>Following the closure of the chain, a restaurant called Salaterra opened at the River Mall shopping centre in Kyiv. Due to the similarity of the names, visitors assumed that this was a rebranding of Salateira.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iryna Dobrutskaya<\/strong> She refuted this version of events. According to her, the new restaurant was opened by Salaterra\u2019s former head chef in collaboration with the shopping centre\u2019s owners. She also mentioned a dispute over the equipment from the closed establishment. Representatives of Salaterra and River Mall have not publicly commented on these claims.<\/p>\n<p>The first Salateira restaurant opened in December 2011 at the Sky Mall shopping centre in Kyiv. The chain became one of the first Ukrainian operators of the fast-casual format, offering diners the chance to create their own salads from a variety of ingredients. At the height of its expansion, the brand comprised around 16 restaurants in Ukraine and abroad.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430 \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0430 \u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0432 \u0437\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0448\u0432\u0438\u0434\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0445\u0430\u0440\u0447\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f Salateira \u043f\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043f\u0438\u043d\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u043c\u0430\u0439\u0436\u0435 15 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u043d\u0430 \u0440\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0443. \u0429\u0435 \u0432 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0432\u043d\u0456 2026 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u044f \u043c\u0430\u043b\u0430 12 \u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0432 \u0443 \u041a\u0438\u0454\u0432\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0448\u0438\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0431\u0456\u0437\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0443, \u043e\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043a \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043d\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0440\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u0456 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0438. \u041e\u0434\u043d\u0456\u0454\u044e \u0437 \u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0447\u0438\u043d \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0444\u0456\u043d\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0442\u0440\u044f\u043d\u0456 \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0432\u043e\u0433\u0438, \u044f\u043a\u0456 \u0437\u043c\u0443\u0448\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0438 \u0432 \u0442\u043e\u0440\u0433\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0446\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0445 \u0437\u0443\u043f\u0438\u043d\u044f\u0442\u0438 \u0440\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0443.
