The Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin posted an operating profit of €628,000 in 2006, making the outlet a hit for its owners, the Butler family and the Fitzers catering group.
The performance by the outlet, although down 10pc on the previous year’s figure, also enabled the Fitzers business, which includes three high-profile restaurants in Dublin, to reverse what would have been an otherwise disappointing financial year.
Opened in 2004, the franchised Hard Rock Cafe is located in the capital’s busy Temple Bar quarter.
The company behind the operation is equally owned by Colum and Ciaran Butler, who also own the Leisureplex entertainment centres in Dublin and Cork, and Fitzers, controlled by the Fitzpatrick family.
It operates a catering business that includes a cafe at the National Gallery of Ireland, the Chatham Brasserie in Dublin, and the flagship Fitzers restaurant on Dawson Street.
