Which Dragons' Den investor founded the restaurant chain Yo! Sushi?

Dragons' Den investor Simon Woodroffe founded the restaurant chain Yo! Sushi.

Woodroffe opened the first Yo! Sushi restaurant in Soho, London, in 1997. The concept brought conveyor-belt sushi to a broad British audience, allowing diners to select colour-coded plates as they passed their table.

The format helped make sushi more accessible in the United Kingdom and gave the restaurant a distinctive visual identity. Yo! Sushi later expanded beyond its original London location into a larger chain.

Woodroffe became a member of the original Dragons' Den investor panel, although his restaurant venture began before the British television programme launched. The business is often associated with conveyor-belt service, but the key fact is its founding by Woodroffe in 1997.
