PT. Surya Tanjung Jaya, a business group that has grown to become a leader in the Food and Beverage industry in Batam - Riau Islands, was established from the initiative and great vision of Buyong Goh. In 1998, this culinary business began by opening its first outlet under the label BFC, the first fast food restaurant in Batam. Observing the initial good progress of BFC, Buyong Goh subsequently opened additional outlets in malls in line with the development of Batam into a metropolis.
Bringing Global Flavors Home
Like other leaders and entrepreneurs, Mr. Buyong Goh also wanted to contribute different types of food that were very hard to find in Batam at that time. To taste different types of food such as Western food, Chinese food, Italian food, and others, people had to travel to neighboring countries (Singapore) to enjoy these dishes.
Growing and Thriving
To date, PT. Surya Tanjung Jaya has officially become the most advanced and largest Food and Beverage Company in the Riau Islands with 12 café and restaurant brands, a culinary school, and a kitchen equipment distributor with a total of 57 outlets and more than 2000 employees.
