Market analysis will clear the clouds from the surface by addressing some very important questions, such as what do you want to serve to your customers, where does your restaurant stand in the market, is there any demand for any particular cuisines or food type in the market now or in future, who all are your competitors in the market, how can you attract the customers and what are your expectations from the market?

The best part of QSR model is there are no unnecessary investments other than paying the staff and things required for cooking. There is no extra investment involved for hiring more staff for serving and cleaning purpose, or interior decoration or sitting arrangements or valet parking.

These models can be opened in shopping malls, amusement parks, theme parks, and multiplexes, where the crowd is always high. And eating in a restaurant is not every one’s cup of tea; QSRs are the quick option for them, just grab and go. It will further help in marketing the brand to broader audience, when they are exposed to the quality of food and variety of options than the regular ones.

QSRs have become Commodity

Things have changed in QSR market because customers have changed over a period of time or we can say that India has grown with time. “Around 15 years back when multinational QSR formats like, KFC, Dominos, Mc Donalds et cetra entered into Indian food industry they were more of aspirational brands to India. They have never seen those brands and also there was an increase in income at that time so people started liking sitting there and enjoy. Now these aspirational brands have become commodity brands because they are more known for a quick bite and they are less expensive. Delivery and take away are becoming new trend in QSRs as 80per cent business in QSR belongs to delivery and take away only,” says Sandeep Singh, CEO at Papa Johns.
