It holds brands that differ in both price range and genre, including EatFit (healthy food), Nomad Pizza, Olio Pizza, Sharief Bhai Biryani, CakeZone, and Frozen Bottle. Taking orders for several brands in one kitchen is designed to fill the gap between busy and slow times of day.
Rather than growing brands from zero, it takes the approach of buying restaurants that have a following in their region and rolling them out nationally.
Operating revenue for FY2026 (fiscal year ended March 2026) was ₹916 crore, up 23% from ₹746 crore the previous year. The net loss, on the other hand, widened to ₹192 crore (₹170 crore the previous year). Cumulative funding is about 255.95 million dollars. Locations stood at 502 at the end of March 2025, spread across more than 70 cities. On the IPO, the company submitted a draft prospectus to SEBI in July 2025 and obtained approval in October of the same year, but the listing in June 2026 was passed over. Founder Ankit Nagori is the largest individual shareholder with 27.8% and has said he will not take part in the offer for sale.
One way to test a restaurant brand in India is to rent a single bay in a cloud kitchen instead of setting up a storefront. It keeps initial costs down and lets you see the response city by city, but you need to allow for the fact that sales are swayed by delivery app commissions and search rankings.
