GROWTH AND PROGRESS OF QUICK SERVICE
RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IN INDIA
3.1 Introduction
Services sector in India is the largest contributor to the national GDP. The United
Nations central product classification (UNCPC) classified the service sector but India has
its own classification and the basic difference is that while construction is not a part of the
service sector in India, it is a part of UNCPC. Since many services are rendered in the
unorganized or informal sector, it is difficult to get the exact figure about the service sector.
In the last decade the contribution of services to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has
outweighed the combined contribution of agriculture and industry. Different types of
services have contributed in different ways for the overall growth of the service sector but
basically the growth is driven by telecommunications, financial services along with export
of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Although there has been
disagreement about the role of service sector in the generation of jobs (Bosworth &
Maertens, 2010; Kochhar et al.), still there has been a lot of potential and prospective.
Bosworth & Meurtens (2010) mentioned that the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) was the
highest in the service sector. India’s projected economic growth at 7.3 % by 2025 will drive
the country’s total consumption (Mc Kinsey & Company; 2007). As per reports, there will
be demand for different types of services but the demand for education, healthcare,
personal care, hotels and restaurants will be maximum.

Since 1980 the share of service sector to GDP is increasing (Table-3.2) and in the
last decade it has surpassed other sectors as well.

3.2 An Overview of Restaurant Industry in India
The restaurant industry in India is comprised of both unorganized as well as
organized sector. In India the restaurant industry is dominated by unorganized sector which
is characterized by road side location and with no technical as well as accounting standards.
The organized sector is characterized by quality control, organized supply chain,
accounting transparency, multiple outlets and dominated by global players. The organized
sector is again segmented in to four types namely full service, quick service restaurants,
bars & Lounge and kiosk/cart. The full service is further segmented in to fine dining and
casual dining, while the quick service restaurant is further segmented in to – take away,
home delivery and eat in. Although Indians take pride in eating home food, but there is an
increasing demand for fast food.
The growth in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) is driven by several factors like
expanding middle class, urbanization, youth spending, nuclear families, better logistics,
increased income, mall and multiplex boom. The quick service restaurant industry at the
same time is also facing different problems like health and hygiene concern among buyers,
localization of menu, standardization of products across outlets, ordering service time,
talent acquisition, high attrition rate, building a cost effective supply chain, establishing a
supply chain in a new region, monitoring quality of products procured from third parties
etc. Most of the different quick services retailing brands are located near the malls, tourist
hubs, corporate hubs, shopping centers, multiplexes, airport, railway station, college and
Universities with an objective to create an adequate experience as well as ambience for the
success of the brand.
3.3 Growth of Quick Service Restaurant Industry in India
According to a Mckinsey Global Institute (MGI) study, by 2030 more and more
people will live in urban areas (Figure-3.3) and there will be a trend where both husband
and wife are employed which will fuel the growth of Quick Service Restaurant industry in
India.

3.9 Franchising in Quick Service Retail Brands
India’s sluggish growth rate has once again gained momentum due to a number of
corrective measures and reforms taken by the government. Today India is able to attract a
number of globally reputed companies and has occupied a prominent place in the
international stage. India as a prospective market has attracted global players which in turn
have increased the foreign direct investment as well as franchising business. India, the
second largest populous country with an impressive gross domestic product (GDP) is on
the way to become one of the largest economies of the world.
A study by Kharas & Gertz (2010) have outlined that by 2030 the middle class
Indian consumers may outweigh even that of China and U.S.A. and this is also one of the
important factors for attracting global players to India. Although foreign direct investment,
licensing, joint venture, alliance etc., are the different modes of entering Indian market but
franchising business is the much sought after mode especially in the food and beverage
sector.
Franchising model of business is gaining popularity day by day due to different
corrective measures taken by the government from time to time. Today not only foreign
players are adopting the franchising model of business but even domestic players have also
adapted the franchising model, which speaks a lot of the ease of doing business in India.
Although in India there is no franchise law but franchising model of business is
guided by several legislations like Indian Contract Act, 1982; Trademark Act, 1999;
82Chapter -3 Growth and Progress of Quick Service Retailing in India
Designs Act, 2000; Patents Act, 1970; Copyright Act, 1957; Competition Act, 2002;
Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999; Consumer Protection Act, 1986 and Arbitration
and Concentration Act, 1996. Indian market is very lucrative however, investors should be
careful before investing and venturing into India because the FDI policy changes very
frequently.

3.11.2 Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)
The moment we hear “KFC” we start to hymn its tag line "Its finger licking good!",
which has now become “So Good”. “So Good” gives a higher brand recall as we all use
this phrase quite often. Additionally, old tag line was just to do with eateries; the new tag
line goes along with beverages as well.
KFC is an acronym of Kentucky Fried Chicken. It is established with its
headquarters at Louisville, Kentucky in United States. This fast food restaurant chain
86Chapter -3 Growth and Progress of Quick Service Retailing in India
having specialization in fried chicken is the world second largest restaurant chain, which is
measured by sales. This subsidiary company of Yum! Brands, having a wide spread no of
18875 outlets in 118 countries and territories as of December 2013, and yet are regularly
popping up at various places. While discussing about KFC, we cannot ignore the white
headed, beard man with spectacles on, pleasant face with a broad smile wearing a red apron
with three vertical white strips on the left side of his apron having a bright red background
with bold white color KFC embossed in it. This pleasant faced man on the KFC logo is
none other than the founder itself, Harland Sanders.
Harland Sanders had begun his entrepreneurship by selling fried chicken from his
road side restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the great depression. It was then when
Sanders could identify the potential of the restaurant franchisee concept. This thought of
his, revolutionized the business the fast food chains, and with the span of time expanded it
internationally. First “Kentucky Fried chicken” franchise opened in Utah in 1952. It got
popularized and diversified the market by challenging the established dominance of
Hamburger. It was in mid-1960 that it expanded over Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico
and Jamaica. In 1964, Sanders sold the company to a group of investors led by John Y.
Brown and Jack C. Massey. In early 1970s KFC was again sold to the Sprit distributor
Heublein, who were further taken over by R. J. Reynolds food and tobacco; who sold the
chain to Pepsico. The chain flourished and made its distinct mark by entering the market of
china, in 1987, being the first western restaurant chain in that market. Today china market
is company’s single largest market. Hence, proving how the stake of risk to enter an
untouched market proved beneficial.
Pepsico spun of its restaurant division as Tricon Global Restaurants, which was
later renamed as Yum! Brands. The pressure fried chicken pieces, seasoned with Sanders
recipe eleven herbs and spices, and was KFC’s original product. These herbs and spices
used in the recipes served as a business trade secret.
KFC serves its customers in either individual servings or in family size cardboard
bucket, having six to sixteen chicken pieces. Other KFC products include chicken burger
both ginger and tower burgers; wraps and a variety of other foods like chicken popcorn,
crispy chicken strips, hot wings and chicken mudgets. The major key marketing strategy of
KFC is backed by its approach to adapt as per regional taste.
