About KOTO Training Restaurants

Currently, KOTO Enterprise comprises restaurants, catering services, online bakery and cooking class. The idea is to create a self sustainable system, where KOTO can largely rely on its own resources and become less dependent on external funding.

KOTO is a pioneer in the social enterprise world in Vietnam and is willing to share its model in the firm belief that it can be applied elsewhere. The flagship restaurant, KOTO on Van Mieu, is located a stones throw away from one of Hanoi’s popular tourist destinations, The Temple of Literature.
