Industry Overview.
The quick-service restaurant channel has been rapidly growing in popularity in India, owing to factors such as a rise in literacy, exposure to media, an increase in disposable incomes, and easier and greater availability. Affordability has also been a key factor. Western fast-food chains are gaining Indian consumers by understanding consumer demands and customizing their menus to match Indian taste palates. As a result, value sales of quick-service restaurants grew by a CAGR of 5.5% and amounted to ₹2,854.8 billion (US$40.1 billion) in 2020 from ₹2,189.2 billion (US$34.1 billion) in 2015. The number of outlets increased by 2%, while the number of transactions increased by 3.8% over the same period. Over the forecast period between 2020 and 2025, the value sales of quick-service restaurants are expected to grow at an even higher pace of 12.4%, indicating a steep rebound in these outlets post the pandemic. The year 2020 saw significant changes in the business operations of quick-service restaurants. Contactless dining experiences and takeaways were adopted by restaurants, with the help of technology. For instance, Pizza Hut, when it opened restaurants during the ‘unlock’ phase of the pandemic, enabled consumers to order using QR codes on their tables, through which they could order online. The channel is also focused on modifying its menus according to changing global trends and Indian eating habits.
