Quick Service Restaurants (QSR)
In India, about Rs 35,000 crore is spent annually on eating out. About Rs 2,500 crore is spent at quick service restaurants. The organized fast-food business in the country is estimated at over Rs 2,000 crore, and is growing at 40 per cent. Also, there are about 100 million potential fast food customers. A retail survey shows that 85 per cent of the consumers in the top 12 cities of the country eat out at least once a month, of which 36 per cent spend between Rs 200 and Rs 500 on one occasion. So it comes as no surprise that many players - both domestic as well as international - want to grab a slice of the rapidly growing QSR pie. The following are the players:
- Indigo Hospitality Pvt Ltd
- Chopsticks Express and Kwality Express (joint venture)
- Fast Trax Food Pvt Ltd, Hind Group
- Dixy Chicken will open its first outlet in Chennai this month and has 100 stores planned across the country
- Gloria Jean's plans to open the first of its planned 300 outlets by September.
