The food and beverages industry in India has a strong potential and there are significant growth opportunities in the domestic markets, analysts say. 

In the challenging macro-environment, Speciality Restaurants has delivered an encouraging performance across all parameters during the financial year 2021-22 (FY22). The company posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 8.15 crore in FY22 vs a net loss of Rs 29.34 crore in FY21. Revenue from operations grew 68.5 per cent to Rs 253 crore from Rs 150 crore.

For the April-June quarter (Q1FY23), Speciality Restaurants reported a profit of Rs 15.03 crore against a loss of Rs 8.57 crore in Q1FY22. Consolidated revenue from operations more-than-doubled to Rs 89.97 crore from Rs 30.43 crore in the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal.

On Q1FY23 performance, the management said that some tactical measures of cost controls and stream-lining business processes have led to rationalization of the costs, which resulted into savings and hence improved profitability.

Establishing kitchen within kitchen in existing restaurants has resulted into sweating of assets thus improving profitability, it said.
