Outlook :
The Barbeque Nation IPO is coming at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has made many restaurants unviable. Food orders can meaningfully increase and the share of trusted brands is bound to go up vs random mom-pop restaurants that may not be able to assure hygiene.
The restaurant chain has seen compounded annual growth of 14.29%. It has grown from ₹68.60 Crore in FY17 to 89.60 Crore in FY19.
The company is backed by private equity investor CX Partners and ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s investment firm Alchemy Capital. Alchemy Capital bought about a 3.5% stake in Barbeque-Nation Hospitality for ₹90 Crore last year.
It also acquired a 61.35% stake in Red Apple Kitchen, which owns Toscano, a casual dining Italian restaurant chain that has ten outlets operating across Bengaluru and Chennai.
Earlier in December last year, Jubilant Foodworks, which operates fast-food chains Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts in India, had acquired a 10.76 percent equity stake into Barbeque-Nation Hospitality Ltd (BNHL) Rs 92 crore.
Barbeque Nation also launched UBQ through its existing kitchen infrastructure, in November 2018 to provide a la carte Indian cuisine in the value segment, which is also being availed by delivery across 71 cities in India.
The restaurant & hospitality sector, despite being amongst the worst hit due to COVID 19 has tremendous potential in a growing economy like India.
With the rise of nuclear families, changing habits, and increasing urban population with higher disposable income coupled with strong growth of food-related e-commerce platforms, a strong branded player like Barbeque Nation stands to gain in the future. IPO could attract a lot of interest among both retail & institutional investors leading to a strong listing.
