Business Model
- Asset-light cloud kitchen model: Kitchens are leased (400–870 sq. ft.), minimizing capex relative to traditional restaurants. Lease tenure is typically 11 months to 5 years.
- Platform-dependent distribution: ~92% of revenue flows through Swiggy and Zomato (Top 2 customers contributed 91.91% of revenues in FY25). This creates high customer acquisition efficiency but also concentration risk.
- Corporate Thali Services: Institutional catering for corporates — diversifies away from B2C delivery platforms.
- Fine Dining (launched July 2024): Premium format, currently contributing 1.87% of revenues but positioned for scale with the proposed Gurugram banquet expansion.
- Supplier Concentration: Top 10 suppliers account for ~71.61% of total purchases in FY25. Top supplier alone represents 22.98% of purchases — moderate concentration risk.
