After testing food space via cloud kitchens, OYO to now launch its coffee chain

Hospitality firm OYO is launching its coffee chain, The French Press. The Softbank-backed company is set to unveil one outlet of 'The French Press' in Delhi and Bengaluru, and will open at least a dozen more soon.

This launch comes a few months after the company tested the world of foodtech with its cloud kitchens.

OYO's The French Press will be launched in partnership with a coffee chain through a franchise model.

One of The French Press Cafe's is already introduced in Delhi at a Townhouse property. It is also listed on Zomato. The food is priced between Rs 150 and Rs 250.

An Oyo spokesperson said, “As the largest hotel chain in India, operating franchised and lease assets, we do have an active play in the F&B business, with an average of about 25 percent of our revenue coming through the kitchens we operate in some of our hotels. Hence, culinary design and good food experience are valuable to us. We have nothing further to announce at the moment.”
