03Benchmarks

The numbers nobody publishes.

A living page of Indian food-service benchmarks by format - food cost, labour cost, rent ratio, break-even months, ATV bands and capex per square foot - with sample size and last-updated date shown.

We publish the methodology beside the number. A benchmark without a method is marketing; with one, it becomes the industry's reference.

The DNY Letter

One operating insight a fortnight, for people who run food businesses. No news round-ups, no motivation - a number, a mechanism, and what to do about it.
