Channel strategy
The flagship and city restaurants build the brand and prove unit economics; cloud kitchens and delivery capture off-premise demand at low capital cost; catering and events add contracted, high-value volume; retail products monetise the central kitchen in the home-consumption occasion; and franchising multiplies the footprint asset-light. Delivery platforms overlay every retail format, extending each site’s effective catchment.
NoteDiversification is a deliberate risk control
No single channel exceeds roughly 45% of Year-5 revenue, and the non-restaurant streams, catering, retail, franchise and delivery, together approach the majority. This diversification cushions the plan against the location and seasonality risk inherent in dine-in, and is central to the resilience of the investment case.
The catering and events channel
Corporate catering, weddings and private events convert the central kitchen’s capacity into contracted, high-value revenue that is less location-dependent than dine-in and often booked weeks ahead. Indian cuisine is especially well-suited to celebration and communal dining, and the South African wedding and cultural-event market is substantial and premium-priced. Catering also seeds brand awareness with large captive audiences that convert into restaurant, delivery and retail customers, and it improves facility utilisation between restaurant peaks. Corporate and hotel partnerships provide a repeatable pipeline, while the events capability, private dining rooms and an event-venue offering at the flagship, captures the highest-margin occasions. Though a focused share of revenue, catering is a strategically valuable, cash-generative base-load for the platform.
