The management said that with the gradual opening of the economy and reopening of outlets, the company saw month-on-month increase in sales from dine-in and delivery channels. The company continues to focus on building the delivery business which has continued to grow post the recovery of the dine in segment. With these promising signs the management expects the delivery segment to grow by two times in FY22.
