Burger Singh, an Indian quick-service restaurant chain, faced a significant financial downturn in the fiscal year ending March 2024. The company's losses surged over six-fold during this period, despite a 34% year-on-year growth in operating revenue. Burger Singh’s revenue from operations grew to Rs 77.7 crore in FY24 from Rs 57.8 crore in FY23, its annual financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. The 12-year-old company operates as a quick-service restaurant, offering a diverse menu of burgers, sides, desserts, and beverages through a combination of self-owned and franchise outlets. Burger Singh derives its revenue from three sources: sales from its own stores, franchise goods sales, and franchise services. In FY24, sales of food and beverages from its own stores contributed 48% of the total operating revenue, which grew by 60% to Rs 37.66 crore. Revenue from the sale of franchises and the sale of goods to franchise stores stood at Rs 10.81 crore and Rs 28.6 crore, respectively. For the food and beverages startup, the cost of procurement became the largest cost center forming 43% of its overall cost. In the line of scale, this cost grew 31.3% to Rs 39.2 crore in FY24 from Rs 29.9 crore in FY23. Burger Singh has witnessed a 54% surge in its employee benefits to Rs 18.37 crore in FY24. The commission, traveling, legal, and advertising are other overheads that pushed the total expenditure up by 43.7% to Rs 91.1 crore in FY24 from Rs 63.4 crore in FY23. The 43.7% increase in the total cost outpaced the revenue growth, resulting in losses which spiked 6.3X to Rs 27.9 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -94.76% and -30.94%, respectively. On a unit level, Burger Singh spent Rs 1.17 to earn a rupee in FY24. Notably, Burger Singh’s cash and bank balances stood at Rs 19.51 crore with a total current assets standing at Rs 31.3 crore in FY24.
