The logo of Jack’s Place was inspired by the former owner of the restaurant, Jack Hunt.[1] Photo from Jack's Place's Facebook.

Jack’s Place is an established restaurant chain and household name for Western cuisine in Singapore. First founded in 1966 as a bar by a Britishman called Jack Hunt, the ownership was then passed on to a Hainanese chef by the name of Say Lip Hai a few years later.[2] Since then, Say Lip Hai and his family built Jack's place to be a household name in Singapore. Jack's Place was recognised as the flagship restaurant in Singapore to offer Western cuisine at reasonable prices. Jack's Place is now managed by the JP Pepperdine Group.

Origins

An archival image of Jack's Place depicting the checkered table cloths iconic to the restaurant. Photo from Jack's Place.

Say Lip Hai initially worked as an army chef for the British soldiers based at Sembawang, preparing dishes such as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.[3][4] Following his stint as an army chef, Say Lip Hai became a restaurateur and opened Cola Restaurant and Bar in 1967.[5] In 1968, a British housewife had been impressed by the dishes he served and requested Say Lip Hai to work at her husband’s pub located at Killiney Road. Her husband's name was Jack Hunt and thus the pub was named Jack's Place.[6] Say Lip Hai agreed and managed the kitchen of the bar.[7]


In 1974, the British couple relocated back to London and transferred the ownership of the bar to Say Lip Hai at a price of S$28,000.[8] In 1975, he revamped the pub and modified it into both a restaurant and pub.[9] The restaurant started to serve steaks and it became their signature dish up till today. In 1985, the restaurant served a 4-course meal set consisting of a steak at only S$7.00.[10]

Growth

Initial expansion in Singapore

The second Jack's Place outlet opened for operations at Yen San Building in Orchard Road in 1977.[11] This outlet had a 90 people seating capacity on top of a cocktail lounge that could accommodate another 50 people.[12] At the time, Jack's Place at Yen San Building sold hard liquor for S$2.30 and draft beer at S$1.90.[13] Subsequently, Say Lip Hai opened an outlet located in Ang Mo Kio in 1979. This was the flagship Jack's Place outlet in Singapore's heartlands.[14] After launching another outlet at Hotel Miramar, combined monthly sales reportedly increased from S$30,000 to S$450,000.[15]

By 1989, there were 9 branches and 1 seafood restaurant. Approximately 2,400 customers patronised the restaurants every weekday and the company attained sales of around S$1 million a month.[16] At the time, the steaks were imported from Harris Ranch in the United States of America which was reportedly the biggest beef manufacturer in California.[17] In 1991, Jack's Place opened a headquarters at Defu Lane. Two years later, they also started offering catering services.[18] Despite these successes, Jack's Place had also been affected negatively by the mad cow disease crisis between 1996 and 1997.[19] Although the transmittable disease only affected beef imported from the UK, public paranoia affected the general sales of beef products in Singapore.[20][21][22]

JP Pepperdine Group

Say Lip Hai passed away in 2009. Following his death, the management of the company had been passed over to the second and third generations of the Say family.[23] As of 2015, the Chief Operating Officer of Jack's Place is Jerry Lim, the grandson of founder Say Lip Hai.[24] Inspired by the traits of pepper, the company was later named JP Pepperdine Group.[25] As of June 2019, Jack's Place has 14 branches in Singapore including one in Jewel Changi Airport.[26]

Expansion overseas

In 2003, Jack’s Place expanded overseas and opened its flagship restaurant in Malaysia at Utama Shopping Centre.[27] Plans to expand to Shanghai, China had also been reported. However, due to differences in overseas consumers’ taste and preferences and poor advertising, all overseas operations had been ceased.[28]
