@deepakshenoy Paradise and Thalappakatti are doing the hard work on biryani. Hope more founders treat dosa/biryani the way McDonald’s treated the burger: nail repeatability without killing the soul. India has the product; we just need the systems.

@deepakshenoy I say more power to individual outlets serving their authentic recipes. I am not a big fan of institutionalization of what are primarily small businesses. Call me old fashioned.

@deepakshenoy Sir, Biryani & Dosa are like my water and oxygen :-)

@deepakshenoy Do westerns especially americans like biryani I see them being fans of Butter Chicken but not big fans of biryani

Western QSRs (McDonald's, Domino's) scaled because burgers and pizzas are assembly-line products with 70%+ gross margins. Indian staples like Dosa and Biryani carry higher COGS and batter/spice batch variance. The brand that cracks central kitchen cold-chain logistics without diluting regional taste profiles wins the $30B Indian QSR race!

@deepakshenoy Paradise? Try Pista house, they are far far ahead

@deepakshenoy Deepak bhai, you agree to come to my podcast I will treat you Benne (butter) Dosa, at 19th main.

@deepakshenoy Thalappakatti ?!!

@deepakshenoy Just having our weekend Dosa ritual at home, ID Fresh batter-dosa comes very consistent , home made sambar and chutney from The Filter Coffee . May be ID Fresh should go the restaurant chain way! x.com/jojosevn/status/20859348…

@deepakshenoy @deepakshenoy we at Bagara Biryani Cafe are building a biryani QSR here in Bengaluru. We have 3 outlets so far in South Bangalore, and we run chef-less operations at the outlets. We are growing 10% per month. Let me know if you want to taste our food, will happily send.

@deepakshenoy The 2one is a biryani startup ? That’s my fav biryani

@deepakshenoy Bhai the winner will be whoever combines regional authenticity with ruthless standardisation, supply chain scale and a consistent customer experience.

@deepakshenoy Paradise quality has become terrible once they scaled from their single outlet.

@deepakshenoy The one leading Sapphire Foods is my EX-CEO and he has all the craziness in h to make this happen with some sensational success. #SanjayPurohit
