Restaurant & cloud-kitchen launch in India
India is a vast, fast-growing and intensely competitive F&B market — high volume, thin margins, and delivery-aggregator economics that can make or break a brand.
28+ years · 45+ restaurants launched · 300+ projects · founder-led
Most of the money is lost before you open.
FSSAI licensing, GST and state-by-state rules, heavy delivery-commission economics and a price-sensitive but brand-hungry diner make unit economics and menu engineering decisive in whether an India rollout scales or stalls.
- The wrong site or concept — chosen on instinct, not on a feasibility model.
- An over-built kitchen and fit-out that drains capital you needed for the first six months.
- Licensing and municipality delays that push the opening — and the rent clock is already running.
- No projected P&L, so nobody knows the break-even covers or the food-cost target on day one.
The GGB approach
A launch built to make money, not just to open.
GGB runs the launch the way an operator with a real P&L would — feasibility first, then a disciplined path to opening on time and on budget.
- 01
Feasibility & concept
Market, location and unit economics modelled before a dirham is committed. If the numbers do not work, you hear it first.
- 02
Licence & fit-out pathway
A sequenced route through DED / municipality approvals and a kitchen designed for flow and cost — not for show.
- 03
Menu & cost engineering
A menu built around food-cost targets and margin, with recipes and portions standardised before opening.
- 04
Pre-opening playbook
SOPs, hiring, training and a projected P&L, so the doors open with controls in place — not improvised in week one.

Results, measured
We don't trade on logos. We show you the numbers.
Premium engagements are confidential — that discretion is part of what you're buying. What we show openly is exactly how a GGB result is measured; the named, classified outcomes we walk you through in conversation.
Food cost %
Theoretical vs actual, by item and by outlet — usually the fastest margin to recover.
Labour vs sales
Productivity per shift measured against revenue, not a blanket headcount cut.
Delivery economics
Channel mix and menu pricing rebuilt around real aggregator commission.
Payback
Every intervention measured against the capital and the time it takes to return.
Questions
- Do you work in India?
- Yes — GGB works across India, including India, plus Singapore, Oman and India. Premium engagements are founder-led.
- How early should I bring you in?
- Before the lease, ideally. The site and concept decisions made first are the ones that decide the economics for years.
- Do you only work in Dubai?
- No — across the UAE and wider GCC, plus Singapore, Oman and India.
- Can you work with my own architect and contractor?
- Yes. We set the kitchen and operational brief; your team builds to it. We protect the flow and the cost.
