Thinking of sinking $1000 in shares (I know it's relatively not that much) as my first investment. I remember doing an 8000 word analysis on all of the ratios etc for NCEA Level 3 last year which led me to consider investing in Restaurant Brands.

They have a positive growth story which has paid off for them over the last couple of years. They also have a DRiP which gives you the equivalent of compound interest. They cycle the annual shareholder meetings between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, unlike many companies. And there's the free lunch voucher each year.

Just out of curiosity, what does "health-conscious" have to do with anything? Investing is about making a return on capital surely?

I wonder whether Taxinda will introduce a 'Junk food tax'? Apparently, Mexico and Hungary have 4-8% tax on 'junk foods' with great sucess - https://www.vox.com/2018/1/17/16870014/junk-food-tax
Anyways, I think RBD is still a great company and am slowly increasing my holdings in it.

‘Chicken is where it's at’: the unstoppable rise of KFC
KFC has survived health scandals, veganism and a major delivery fail: can the fast food behemoth stay on top?

Won't "Taxinda" be good for RBD? Even if a junk food tax is introduced here, and Labour tax policies actually result in a redistribution of wealth to poorer families - wouldn't that increase the spending power of a prime market for fast food sellers?

Nothing wrong with starting at amounts you are comfortable with, and good on you for doing the research and taking the plunge while young. My first investment was also $1000 back in 2014 and it served me well.

Agreed, starting small is not an issue.
I personally started with roughly $400 into each of 42 Below and Nuplex, quite a few years ago.
Starting small may not be cost effective from a brokerage point of view. However, it is very beneficial when you consider the knowledge gained from putting some money on the table and following/learning from your decisions.
My initial investments had their ups and downs, but overall one of the best decisions I have ever made (investing, rather than the specific companies).
Good luck Sir Josh.

I liked this bit in the announcement "...stronger emphasis on its core quick service restaurant brands..."
Can't say I ever come across a quick service outlet of KFC (not that I go that often), they seem to be the slowest of any of the fast food "restaurants" in my experience, whether you are the only person ordering or 5th (or more) in line
