Confidential Business Plan
Vellore Pizza Co.
A technology-driven, delivery-first pizza quick-service-restaurant platform for South Africa — combining lower-cost, dark-friendly kitchen formats, a disciplined corporate-and-franchise rollout and advanced delivery infrastructure, with Phase 3 SADC expansion — structured as an investment-grade R330-million opportunity for private equity, institutional investors and commercial lenders.
South Africa’s fast-food market is large and growing — valued at roughly USD 6.3 billion, with QSR generating around 60% of food-service profit and online food delivery growing about 7.6% a year — and the market’s leading pizza chain already operates 700+ outlets, proving deep franchise scalability. Vellore Pizza Co. captures this with a technology-driven, delivery-first model — smaller, lower-cost dark-friendly kitchens optimised for throughput and delivery radius, a disciplined corporate-and-franchise rollout and advanced delivery infrastructure. An R330-million raise (R200m equity + R130m senior debt) scales the network to 158 corporate and franchised stores and approximately R2.96 billion of system-wide sales by FY5, with company revenue of R822.7 million and EBITDA reaching R242.7 million at a 29.5% margin — supporting, on a conservative 8–12× EV/EBITDA exit, an enterprise value of roughly R1.9 billion to R2.9 billion via a JSE listing, strategic trade sale or private-equity secondary.
