Commenting on the business, Mr. Kayum Dhanani, Managing Director, said:
“Our performance during the quarter was modest despite prevailing subdued demand scenario. We recorded a topline growth of around 15% primarily driven by growth in dine-in segment. During the first nine months, we have added 31 new restaurants. Currently, we have around 14 restaurants under fit-out, which gives us confidence of achieving our guidance of adding 40 new restaurants in FY23. We remain focussed on growing each of our 4 business verticals to build one of India’s largest food services company owning its restaurant brands.”
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Rahul Agrawal, CEO and Whole Time Director, said: 
“Our revenue growth during the quarter was primarily led by growth in dine-in business. The performance of delivery segment was encouraging with around 15% sequential growth. Our delivery transaction volumes continued to increase and with stable AOVs. This improvement was primarily driven by recent initiatives such as menu re-engineering, new combo meals and launch of new Biryani brand, ‘Dum Safar’. Dum Safar is now available at over 50% of our network and continues to generate strong traction from customers. We remain focused on strengthening and accelerating our core dine-in business, growth in the delivery vertical, unlocking the growth potential of Toscano and calibrated international expansion.”
