Mr. Asvin Simon, Managing Director, Bangs Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. Says, “The fast food market in India stands at Rs.8000 crore today, tremendous scope for expansion in the underserved tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Understanding this market potential, we offer western fast food items such as burgers, pastas and wraps, and Indianise them to suit the palate of customers in smaller cities who wish to enjoy global products but want the taste to be familiar. So customers can savour our chilly and coriander flavored chicken, or wraps in makhni gravy. We revise our menus every six months, and launch special delicacies to coincide with regional festivals.
The strategy of setting up in tier -2 and tier-3 cities lets the company avoid major competition from multinational fast food chains, but that could change in the future. The current turnover of Rs. 18 Crore across 40 outlets is a daily sale greater than Rs. 15,000, not quite as per projections. It may be more profitable to open more outlets in same cities than to expand to others because it lowers material costs and improves efficiency.
Any QSR model is product driven as there is no experience attached. Unlike dinning, For Bangs, it will be extremely critical to derive a product which is widely accepted. As a QSR chain, most of the food needs to be standardizes. So, striking that balance – between standardization and local delights – is very important. added Mr. Simon.
