The company operates over 125 stores across 10 major Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, with 3 international outlets. A new wholly-owned subsidiary was incorporated in Dubai, UAE, in November 2025 to oversee strategic investments in the Middle East.

Profitability Margins

Gross margins improved to 70.4% in Q2 FY26 from 69.3% YoY and 70.2% sequentially due to favorable inflation. Operating margins have been volatile, ranging from 2.3% to 22.1% over the last five fiscal years, reaching 22.1% in FY23 and 26.5% in 9M FY23.

EBITDA Margin

Operational EBITDA margins improved to 7.1% in Q2 FY26 compared to 6.2% YoY (excluding treasury income). This improvement is driven by increased contributions from renovated restaurants and better cost rationalization.

Capital Expenditure

The company is funding its expansion through internal accruals and a warrant issue of INR 127.23 Cr (of which INR 41.35 Cr was raised initially). Capex is focused on opening 8-10 new restaurants annually and developing a 0.960-acre land parcel in Bhubaneswar.
