INTRODUCTION

A Quick Service Restaurant (QSR), also known as a Fast Food Restaurant

within the Food industry, is a specific type of restaurant characterized both by

its fast food cuisine and by minimal table service. Food served in fast food

restaurants typically caters to a "meat-sweet diet" and is offered from a limited

menu; is cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot; is finished and packaged to

order; and is usually available ready to take away, though seating may be

provided. Fast food restaurants are typically part of a restaurant chain or

franchise operation, which provisions standardized ingredients and/or partially

prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply

channels. The term "fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–

Webster in 1951.

Arguably, the first fast food restaurants originated in the United States

with A&W in 1919 and White Castle in 1921.Today, American-founded fast

food chains such as McDonald's and KFC are multinational corporations with

outlets across the globe.

Variations on the fast food restaurant concept include fast casual

restaurants and catering trucks. Fast casual restaurants have higher sit-in ratios,

and customers can sit and have their orders brought to them. Catering trucks

often park just outside worksites and are popular with factory workers.

The Indian QSR Industry is growing rapidly. It is a reflection of the change in

the lifestyle, food habits & consumption pattern of the population. The

incidences of dining out, ordering from home as well as takeaways is rising,

creating an opportunity to cater to a wide mass of population. What was once

the domain of Upper class, singles or forced bachelors has percolated to all

echelons of the society. The incidences and values differ substantially, but

penetration of such consumption habits is widespread and on the increase.

Although an urban phenomenon, the pattern is also emerging in rural areas with

Page 5: QSR PROJECT FINAL WORD DOC (2)

better connectivity, increased vehicle ownership and rise in income levels. In a

country with more than a billion people, opportunities in India are abound. This

has led to a rapid growth of the QSR Industry. However, simultaneously, it has

created a canvass that has many failures and carcass. Several outlets have been

closed, a large number are struggling, still a large number are just about

surviving and a lot many have not been able to find their feet. There are a lot of

them who are successful, but, more importantly, there is almost a complete

absence of national chains, except for two cafes, three to four international

chains and a few regional chains. Even these are a very recent phenomenon and

many of them are struggling. This indicates to the fact that just having a lot of

opportunities is not enough. These opportunities need to be harnessed and

converted into profitable enterprises. This report is an attempt to understand the

Industry, its key success factors and draw a framework for developing a road

map for success.

SEGMENTATION OF THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY

SIZE OF THE QSR INDUSTRY

Even with a contribution of just 2.3% to India’s GDP, the Food Services market is worth INR 247,680 crore (USD 48 billion). It comprises food services in the organized sector (i.e. chain and licensed standalone players across quick service restaurants, fullservice, casual and fine dining restaurants, hotels, bars and lounges, cafés, and frozen dessert formats) as well as the unorganized sector ( dhabas, street stalls, halwais (sweet shops), roadside vendors, food carts, etc.)

The industry can be divided into six formats, viz. Frozen dessert (including Ice Cream and frozen yogurt), Café (including Bakery),QSR (quick service restaurants), CDR (casual dine restaurants), FDR (fine dine restaurants) and PBCL (pub, bar, club, and lounge).

KEY PLAYERS IN THE QSR INDUSTRY

DEMAND DRIVERS

Before you place any bets on your business endeavors, it is important to understand the forces that will drive consumers to purchase your products or pay for your services. These forces are known as market drivers, and can be defined as trends that cause markets to develop and grow. Although nearly anything you could think of could serve as a market driver, let’s take a look at the demand drivers for the QSR Industry:

1. GDP GROWTH

Gross domestic product (GDP) is defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as "an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident, institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs.”

3. DISPOSABLE INCOME

The amount of money that households have available for spending and saving after income taxes have been accounted for is known as Disposable Income. Disposable personal income is often monitored as one of the many key economic indicators used to gauge the overall state of the economy.

For example, let's assume your household’s personal income includes $100,000 from salaries and you are paying at the 35% tax rate. Your household's disposable income would then be $65,000 ($100,000 - $35,000). Economists use DPI to gauge households' rate of savings and spending.

4. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX

Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of a market basket of consumer goods and services purchased by households.

The CPI is a statistical estimate constructed using the prices of a sample of representative items whose prices are collected periodically. Sub-indexes and sub-sub-indexes are computed for different categories and sub-categories of goods and services, being combined to produce the overall index with weights reflecting their shares in the total of the consumer expenditures covered by the index. It is one of several price indices calculated by most national statistical agencies. The annual percentage change in a CPI is used as a measure of inflation.

CHALLENGES FACED BY THE QSR INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Food price inflation is a key factor affecting the consumer food services market, and is impacted by delayed monsoons, the economic slowdown, and unfavorable demand-supply conditions. It keeps fluctuating and reached a peak of 18% in2010.

The QSR market has many small and mid-size unorganized players competing with large chain players. This fragmented market reflects a number of challenges, including unclear format segmentation, varied consumer options for eating out, and the lack of best practices for food services outlets.

Manpower is a big challenge in the food services market, with an attrition rate of 25-30%.

High real estate and labor costs tend to impact store profitability. The industry’s supply chain is fragmented in nature and marked by the

presence of multiple intermediaries. The lack of appropriate infrastructure, inadequate technologies, and the non-integration of the food value chain are factors key to the wastage of nearly 30-40% of prepared food across the supply chain.

In India, obtaining the requisite licenses, e.g. health license, food safety license, police license, No Objection Certificate (or NOC, from the fire department and the state pollution control board), etc. is a major obstacle hindering the smooth operation of a restaurant. The process is not centralized as yet and requires filing applications with individual stakeholders, which involves a lot of paperwork and is a time-consuming activity.

The Indian restaurant industry is burdened with multiple taxes like VAT, excise, and service tax, besides different state taxes, which add up to 20- 25% of the bill value.

Page 29: QSR PROJECT FINAL WORD DOC (2)

Top Trends for 2015

1. Growing Demand for Takeaway and Home Delivery Services

The demand for takeaway and home delivery services has swelled over the years across all formats and cities, driven by factors like increasing time poverty, long travel times, increase in the number of working women and a consequently greater dependence on prepared food, a younger population, higher disposable incomes, increasing all-round efficiency of the delivery business in India in terms of the order taking process, the packaging, the delivery time, coverage, and value offers, and the growth of online channels.

Additionally, the ease of communication has spurred demand for takeaway and delivery channels, and has in turn encouraged operators to trigger formats that are purely focused on maximizing revenues earned through this channel, e.g. Domino’s Pizza, Pizza Hut Delivery, etc. Food service operators are alsoinvesting substantially in delivery infrastructure to facilitate higher efficiencies and reduce transaction costs.For example, McDonald’s, which only launched its home delivery service (McDelivery) in India in 2004, also invested USD 0.55 million in 2007 to strengthen this delivery channel and widen its reach across the Indian market. Thus, the home delivery segment is evolving, with growth estimated in the range of 30-40% over the next five years. Food service operators are trying their hand at the home delivery format as an added revenue stream which, on average, adds 10-20%. The potential of the delivery format has also gainedtraction with the evident success of prominent pizza chains in India which have derived 40-65% of their revenues from this format.

2. Role of Apps and Web-based OrderingWith the growth in computer literacy and access to smartphones and the Internet, the home delivery business is all set to grow. Domino’s Pizza is leading this change from the front; of its total reported revenue of INR 385 crore in third-quarter 2013, about 50% came from the delivery business. Again, 14% of the total delivery sales (~INR 27 crore) were made through online channels, through both mobile apps and online ordering. Although the mobile app business, started in 2012, only contributes about 10% of the online business

Page 30: QSR PROJECT FINAL WORD DOC (2)

(which started in 2011), Domino’s Pizza expects this to double within a year. About a million apps have already been downloaded, as per the company’s claims. This is line with the experience of other retailers, who are realizing the potential of the e-tailing opportunity in India against the brick-and mortarformat.

3. Delivery-focused WebsitesWhile Domino’s Pizza has gone ahead with its own website and app, other operators are also tapping the food delivery market. Many players have joined hands with specialized delivery portals like FoodPanda, Tastykhana, JustEat, etc. as a means of testing waters. These businesses work on a commission-basedmodel. The advantage to the consumer is that he can access multiple restaurants through a single website/mobile number, and that these companies often negotiate exclusive offers in terms of value from the restaurants.Zomato, India’s premier restaurant rating website, has also realized the potential of the home delivery business in India, and has developed a model whereby they have combined the brand visibility on Zomato.com with the third party administration of the delivery/dine in business.

4. Do-it-yourself HealthThere are people heavily into gluten-free, who care about [genetically modified organisms], who want low-fat or organic items. Health-minded consumers often gravitate to places like Subway, Panera Bread, and Chipotle Mexican Grill that allow them to customize their orders, thus choosing their own healthful options. This extends to vegetarians and vegans, who are not only seeking healthier foods, but also have animal rights on their minds.

5. Convenience Food gaining share in the menuFor Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) players, convenience and consistency is a core deliverable.International players like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, KFC, etc. prefer to use varied forms of convenience foods either as a part of their recipe or as the final serving to the consumer. Tomato Ketchup and other sauces, for instance, are used as an accompaniment, while frozen patties and sausages asrecipe ingredients, and frozen French fries and wedges as side dishes. The food service industry has registered swift growth in the past decade, with both international (McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, etc.)and homegrown chains (Mast Kalandar, Rajdhani, Kaati Zone, Haldiram’s, etc.) booming.It is projected to grow further, at a double-digit rate, over the next five years. This has encouraged both budding entrepreneurs and existing businesses to venture into this sector and glean knowledge from existing players in order to replicate their success. Among such knowhow is an exposure to and adoption of

Page 31: QSR PROJECT FINAL WORD DOC (2)

convenience foods. We now have well established companies which provide sauces, dairy products, processed meats, frozen foods, ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, pickles etc. of a very high quality manufactured in plants of international standards. The availability of these ingredients in the market has in turn aided in the growth of the foodservices industry as a whole, with more and more chefs now believing in “smart” selection of ingredients therefore procuring ingredients at different levels of finishing, based on their importance in the recipes.

6. Social Media Stimulating the Brand Connect

The connection between end-consumers and businesses has always played a pivotal role in the development and growth of any business. For consumer-driven segments, such communication becomes ever more important as it provides a platform by which operators can gauge the pulse of consumers. Thishelps businesses pull the right strings in terms of tapping into consumer behavior.

India has a median age of 26 years. The use of social media is part of this young population’s lifestyle as this has become the preferred mode of expressing views, seeking opinions, and sharing feedback. The youth immediately connects with brands which are seen to be “socially” active as well as interactive. Sincethe youth forms the bulk consumer for most foodservice operators today, social media has evolved as the medium of choice for connecting with their consumers.

7. Emergence of New F&B DestinationsWhile malls and high streets have been the traditional locations for F&B outlets, a new breed of food-centric destinations is emerging. Popularly dubbed “Food Hubs”, they typically have zero or negligible retail/entertainment quotient. In turn, these locations depend on commercial and residential catchments; theconcentration of F&B offerings also makes them a destination of choice for foodaholics.

8. AirportsOver the past few years, Indian aviation has seen plenty of twists and turns. However, airline traffic in India has been registering a continuous growth in both the domestic and international segments.This increase in traffic has necessitated the growth of infrastructure in the form of new airports as well as bigger terminals at existing ones. Since F&B is an important component of such terminals, this is expected to create many new opportunities for F&B operators in the years to come.
