eating out occasions
Awareness for hygiene and health have increased sale of

Indian • Foreign brands have been quite successful in the Indian market
- Example: McDonald's, Subway, Dominos, KFC, Pizza Hut, Cinnabon, Starbucks, etc.
• A number of Indian entrepreneurs have also established large chains across India
- Example: Mainland China, Street Foods of India, Café Coffee Day, Zambar, Fresco,
Sagar Ratna etc
• This has also led to rapid development of the value chain in India across kitchen
equipment, processed foods and cold chain infrastructure

Key issues in the Indian F&B service sector
1. Lack of quality infrastructure
2: Lack of adequate skilled manpower
3: High real estate cost

5: Tax incidence

Issue 1: Lack of quality infrastructure
• Effective & efficient cold chain needed to ensure supply of right quality of inputs
to the restaurants
Cold Chain
• The uniformity and quality of processed food available is still not at par with
global standards
Food Processing
• Food processing and Pre-Cooked Food Mall
• Extend incentives to this via the Food Park

Issue 2: Lack of adequate skilled manpower
• Industry sponsored training programs
• Leverage NSDC platform for setting up a private
training institute funded by an industry consortia
• Upgradation of programmes through revision in
the AICTE courses
Our solutions
• Gross annual demand of employees in the hospitality sector is likely to grow to
almost 920,000 in 2021-22
• Current supply is only 9-12% = Very Large Gap
• Biggest gap is in the front office / restaurant service / waiter category
Lack of Manpower

Issue 3: High real estate cost
• Real estate costs account for on an average 15-20% of the revenues and is the
second largest item after raw materials
• Further accentuated with service tax on the rental value
• Global Average < 15%
• Stand alone restaurants stand to be the biggest losers
High Cost of RE
• Lobby with real estate developers to develop a
better formula of Rent Sharing
• Innovative models for Rent:
- Revenue share
- Equity share
- Deferred / bullet rentals

Issue 4: Licensing
• Large number of licenses required results in delay in time taken for obtaining
these
• Leads to a large lead time for opening new outlets
• Cost of compliance is also high
• Globally, places such as Turkey require as little as 2 licenses for opening a new
restaurant
Complex Licensing
• Simplified licensing requirements with a single-
window clearance approach
• Quick turnaround times
Our solutions

Issue 5: Tax incidence
• Rationalisation of taxes levied on the restaurant
industry – as a precursor to GST
Our solutions
• Multiple Taxes - VAT, excise, and service tax, besides different state taxes,
which add up to 17.5-25% of the bill value
• VAT and service tax on the same bill value amounts to double taxation as by
definition, they should not be charged on the same item
• Average increase to consumers over listed food price is 33%
• With the increase in service tax from June 1, 205, this would further hinder the
industry
High Taxes
