BACKGROUND OF QSR INDUSTRY IN INDIAIndia has emerged as one of the fastest growing fast food markets in the world. Nevertheless, it remains largely underpenetrated and concentrated in metropolitan cities, prompting fast food players to establish their chains in the emerging markets of tier-II and tier-III cities. Burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, sandwiches, soft drinks ... you name it and you will have such yummy delights served instantly to you at the fast food chains dotting the nooks and corners of the country. Almost all big fast food brands of the world have set up shop in India and even home-grown brands are doing brisk business in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) segment. The fast food culture emerged as early as the 19th century. At the time of the Industrial Revolution, a large workforce was required to work for 10 to 12 hours a day. With so much work to be done, fast food was the idea of a quick and easy lunch. In India, fast food culture emerged in after independence, starting from the 1950s.
Contributing factors to change the perception about India as a nation that is particular about its food are: Riding on growing cosmopolitan outlook Ever-increasing disposable income Changing consumer behavior and favorable demographics Exposure to western cuisine Rising number of nuclear families and growth in the number of employed women
According to a National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) report, the fast food industry in India is currently estimated at 6,750 crore to 8,000 crore, growing at a CAGR of 35-40 per cent annually. A major chunk of this market is ruled by global players like McDonalds, Yum! Brands, Dominos, Subway, Taco Bell, Barista, etc. The main reason behind the success of the multinational chains is their expertise in product development, sourcing practices, quality standards, service levels and standardized operating procedures in their restaurants, a strength they
have developed out of their years of experience around the world. But domestic players like Fast trax, Nirulas, US Pizza, Pizza Corner, Kaati Zone and home-grown Coffee Day Group or even Haldirams, Bikanervala, Rasnas Devils Workshop are not lagging behind to capture a fair share of the quick meals bazaar. Talking about the growing Indian fast food industry, Vinod Mehboobani, VP Business Development & Legal, Yum! Restaurants International-India says, There has been a surge in fast food chains in India over the last decade. Many domestic players have emerged in this segment and are growing rapidly. Most multinational brands have used the franchising route to enter and or expand in the country. Over the decade this has evolved tremendously with many franchisees now running their operations as highly professional corporate and as a result spearheading the growth in the segment. Organized modern formats like malls and supermarkets have become a favourite destination for such outlets. Larger companies are teaming up with small franchisors and mall owners to promote their brand. This sector has witnessed a drastic change over the last five years. In the past, almost 95 per cent restaurants were individually owned and today that figure is down to 70 per cent, with almost 30 per cent being part of a chain or franchise. Also, the sector has a healthy mix of company owned and franchised stores dotting the markets which bodes well for the category, says a spokesperson of McDonalds.

McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries. Headquartered in the United States, the company began in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant operated by the eponymous Richard and Maurice McDonald; in 1948 they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955. He subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers and oversaw its worldwide growth. McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, French fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, shakes and desserts. In response to changing consumer tastes, the company has expanded its menu to include salads, wraps, smoothies and fruit. McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries and territories around the world and serve 58 million customers each day. McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people. The company also operates other restaurant brands, such as Piles Caf. On a seasonal basis, McDonald's offers the McRib sandwich. Some speculate the seasonality of the McRib adds to its appeal. Various countries, especially in Asia, are currently serving soup. This local deviation from the standard menu is a characteristic for which the chain is particularly known, and one which is employed either to abide by regional food taboos (such as the religious prohibition of beef consumption in India) or to make available foods with which the regional market is more familiar (such as the sale of McRice in Indonesia).
Domino's Pizza, Inc. is an international pizza delivery corporation headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America. Founded in 1960, Domino's is the secondlargest pizza chain in the United States and has over 9,000 corporate and franchised stores in 60 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Domino's Pizza was sold to Bain Capital in 1998 and went public in 2004. The menu features vegetarian and meat pizzas, chicken wings and boneless chicken, sandwiches, potato wedges, garlic breads and a variety of dessert items including cookies and waffles, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and a variety of soft drinks including Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite. Domino's has restaurants in all of the world's major cities such as New York, Mumbai, London, Toronto, and Chicago. In 1960, Tom Monaghan and his brother, James, purchased DomiNick's, a small pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan near Eastern Michigan University. The deal was secured by a US$75 down payment and the brothers borrowed $900 to pay for the store. Eight months later, James traded his half of the business to Tom for a used Volkswagen Beetle. As sole owner of the company, Monaghan renamed the business Domino's Pizza, Inc. in 1965. In 1967, the first Domino's Pizza franchise store opened in Ypsilanti. The company logo was originally planned to add a new dot with the addition of every new store, but this idea quickly faded as Domino's experienced rapid growth. The three dots represent the stores that were open at the time (1969). By 1978, the franchise opened its 200th store. The current Domino's menu features a variety of Italian-American entrees and side dishes. Pizza is the primary focus, with traditional, specialty and custom pizzas available in a variety of crust styles and toppings. In 2011 Dominos launched Artisan style pizzas that offer a base blend of rich flavors to compliment chef inspired toppings. Additional entrees include pasta, bread bowls and oven-baked sandwiches. The menu offers chicken side dishes, breadsticks, as well as beverages and desserts.
.
Pizza Hut is an American restaurant chain and international franchise that offers different styles of pizza along with side dishes including salad, pasta, Buffalo wings, breadsticks, and garlic bread. Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of YUM! Brands, Inc., the world's largest restaurant company. According to its corporate website, there are more than 6,000 Pizza Hut restaurants in the United States, and more than 5,600 store locations in 94 other countries and territories around the world. Pizza Hut is split into several different restaurant formats; the original family-style dine-in locations; store front delivery and carry-out locations; and hybrid locations that offer carry-out, delivery, and dine-in options. Many full-size Pizza Hut locations offer lunch buffet, with "all-you-can-eat" pizza, salad, bread sticks, and a special pasta. Additionally, Pizza Hut also has a number of other business concepts that are different from the store type; Pizza Hut "Bistro" locations are "Red Roofs which offers an expanded menu and slightly more upscale options."Pizza Hut Express" and "The Hut" locations are fast food restaurants. They offer a limited menu with many products not found at traditional Pizza Huts Pizza Hut sells "Stuffed Crust" pizza, with the outermost edge wrapped around a cylinder of mozzarella cheese; "Hand-Tossed," more like traditional pizzeria crusts; "Thin 'N Crispy", a thin, crisp dough which was Pizza Hut's original style; "Dippin' Strips pizza", a pizza cut into small strips that can be dipped into a number of sauces; and "The Edge pizza," where the toppings nearly reach to the edge of the pizza. There was also formerly a crust that was not as thick as Pizza Hut's pan pizza, and not as thin as its thin crust. There are regional differences in the products and bases sold.
KFC, founded and also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a chain of fast food restaurants based in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. KFC has been a brand and operating segment, termed a concept of Yum! Brands since 1997 when that company was spun off from PepsiCo as Tricon Global Restaurants Inc. KFC primarily sells chicken pieces, wraps, salads and sandwiches. While its primary focus is fried chicken, KFC also offers a line of grilled and roasted chicken products, side dishes and desserts. Outside the USA, KFC offers beef based products such as hamburgers or kebabs, poutine, pork based products such as ribs and other regional fare. The company was founded as Kentucky Fried Chicken by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952, though the idea of KFC's fried chicken actually goes back to 1930. Although Sanders died in 1980, he remains an important part of the company's branding and advertisements, and "Colonel Sanders" or "The Colonel" is a metonym for the company itself. The company adopted KFC, an abbreviated form of its name, in 1991. Starting in April 2007, the company began using its original name, Kentucky Fried Chicken, for its signage, packaging and advertisements in the U.S. as part of a new corporate rebranding program; newer and remodeled restaurants will adopt the new logo and name, while older stores will continue to use the 1980s signage. Additionally, Yum! Continues to use the abbreviated name freely in its advertising According to the corporate website, KFC is present in 110 countries and territories around the world. It has in excess of 5,200 outlets in the United States and more than 15,000 units in other parts of the world. In Quebec, however, its name is PFK. An outlet opened in Nairobi, Kenya on August 2011. It is the first US-based fast food restaurant in the nation as well as in East Africa. In December 2011 the first KFC was opened in Croatia, in Zagreb.
Subway is an American restaurant franchise that primarily sells submarine sandwiches (subs) and salads. It is owned and operated by Doctor's Associates, Inc. (DAI). Subway is one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with 36,558 restaurants in 99 countries and territories as of April 7th, 2012. It is the largest single-brand restaurant chain globally and is the second largest restaurant operator globally after Yum! Brands (over 37,000 locations). Subway's main operations office is in Milford, Connecticut; five regional centers support Subway's growing international operations. The regional offices for European franchises are located in Amsterdam, Netherlands; the Australia and New Zealand locations are supported from Brisbane, Australia; the Asian locations are supported from offices located in Beirut, Lebanon, Malaysia, Singapore and India and the Latin America support center is in Miami, Florida. Doctor's Associates, owner of Subway, was founded by Fred DeLuca and Peter Buck in 1966, when they opened the second Subway restaurant in New York. The name comes from the fact that Buck holds a PhD. Despite their name and Subway's health-conscious image, neither Subway nor Doctor's Associates are affiliated with, nor endorsed by, any medical organizations or doctors. Subway uses the advertising slogan "Eat Fresh" to explain how every sandwich is made from freshly baked bread, using fresh ingredients, in front of the customer to their exact specification, by employees whom Subway terms "Subway Sandwich Artists".
