Srisun Express, the prata shop who offered seven prata kosongs to every diner who came to dine wearing the Manchester United jersey on 6 March, said that they gave away a total of 6,789 free pratas at its four shops.
The offer was on after Manchester United got trashed by Liverpool 7-0 and could be claimed at any of their four restaurants from 12:30pm to 12:00 am on 6 March.
Owners of Srisun are supporters of Manchester United
The owners of Srisun are supports of Manchester United and they said that the offer was to make up for the trashing which Manchester United suffered.
Director of Srisun Express, Jayanthi Sundar mentioned that most fans were likely to be disappointed with the trashing and giving the free pratas away could hopefully bring some cheer back to these fans.
Staff could handle the extra workload
In response to media queries, Jayanthi said that about 10,000 to 12,000 pratas were prepared to be given away and they started giving them away at 12:30pm.
She added that the crowd came in around 6pm all the way to 12am and their staff from the Central kitchen could handle the extra workload and ensure that there was enough curry to go along with the pratas given out.
Sea of red at the outlets
Jayanthi also said that the outlets were filled with people donning red, the colour of the jersey of Manchester United.
The common topic at the outlets was how did the trashing turn into a bonding moment for the fans.
At the end of the day, more than 960 diners claimed about 6,789 pratas.
