Adding brands is the same as adding shelf space

Delivery apps have a display slot for each store listed. By serving under multiple brand names from a single kitchen, exposure on the app can be multiplied without adding equipment or staff. This is why EatClub runs 16 brands.

It also segments customers. People wanting pizza, biryani, or an Indian-style bowl search separately. Listing each under its own name is more likely to get chosen than putting everything under one brand.

On the operations side, it fills gaps across time slots. Combining a brand that peaks at lunch with one that peaks at dinner smooths out kitchen utilization.

How funding has come in

Anshul Gupta and Amit Raj founded the company as Box8 in 2012. It started as a cloud kitchen focused on Indian food delivery, added brands such as Mojo Pizza, and changed its name to EatClub Brands in 2021.

Tiger Global invested $40 million in November of that year, and in July 2025 A91 Partners and 360 ONE Asset Management joined a ₹185 crore (about $22 million) round it led again. Cumulative funding is said to be about $104 million. It has 584 employees.

Points for Japanese companies

When entering the restaurant business in India, there's an option to start with delivery only, without opening a storefront. A cloud kitchen requires little upfront investment and is easy to shut down if it doesn't sell. It's a realistic way to test whether Japanese food will be accepted in urban India.

That said, competition on delivery apps has become a numbers game measured in brand count. Entering with a single brand still means appearing on the same screen as a competitor with 16. If it's a test, treat it as such; for full-scale expansion, the design needs to assume multiple brands from the start.

Another option is to entrust one brand to an existing operator like EatClub. Since the kitchen and delivery operations already exist, handing over a recipe and specifications makes for a fast launch.
