The subject is probably not notable and the article is too short and probably won't grow. Janhrach (talk) 06:28, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If kept, it needs to be renamed to Tossed (restaurant chain). -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:13, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Further sources: in the Telegraph again [1] although much is quotes from the founder. The Metro [2]. The Caterer [3]. Assessing this as borderline notability per NCORP. Neutral. Rupples (talk) 18:52, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: It would be helpful to get a second opinion on sources found.

The Telegraph source is inaccessible to me; the Metro source is lots of words to convey exactly 1 minor fact; and the Caterer source supports a sentence perhaps about the collapse and sale of the business 3 years ago (and another source in fact did so until Janhrach took that content out). A quick look around turns up nothing apart from not very disguised press releases and a half-sentence aside in a self-published book. As Rupples said, this is borderline, and I think is more below the bar than above. There just isn't enough outwith the press releases that would enable the creation of a proper article.

I did do a quick search, not sure if I want to turn this into a more substantive comment later, but I do want to note while the Metro isn't deprecated like its sister publication (Daily Mail) it is uh... not considered too reliable, so should probably be struck from consideration for that if not any other reason.

I did actually finish this a bit earlier, but got distracted by the shinies, sorry. Didn't manage to find anything worth speaking of, The Caterer is a bit "routine anouncement-y", Metro is their usual tabloid crap with zero substance, and Telegraph's only substance is what's from the founder. So yeah, delete for me as well. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:12, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete--I also think we are below notability here. Drmies (talk) 20:35, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
