Burger Singh, an Indian quick-service restaurant chain, faced a significant financial downturn in the fiscal year ending March 2024.

Burger Singhโ€™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.

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.

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.

However, the Lightspeed-backed company has yet to achieve significant scale. Teachmintโ€™s revenue from operations spiked to Rs 17.1 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024 from Rs 8.15 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Teachmint sells education software solutions through subscriptions to schools and teachers. The sale of software solutions accounted for 73% of the operating revenue which increased by 56% to Rs 12.5 crore in FY24.

Key areas of cost reduction include employee benefits, marketing, and IT which dwindled by 21.2%, 63.6%, and 9.1% respectively.

Excluding non-cash ESOP costs, the companyโ€™s losses stood at Rs 82 crore for the fiscal year ending March 2024. Its ROCE and EBIDTA margins stood at -24.7% and -198%, respectively.

Importantly, the firm has a total current assets of Rs 440 crore including Rs 34 crore of cash and bank balances in the last fiscal year. The companyโ€™s transformation from pre-revenue to a significant revenue jump is largely driven by shifting its focus to digitize schools. Entrackr reported about the strategic move in April last year. Teachmint faced significant challenges in FY24, including laying off over 70 employees. It has raised over $100 million in funding, with a $78 million Series B round in October 2021 at a valuation of $500 million. However, it has not raised any additional funding in the last three years. Its competitor Classplus achieved a two-fold revenue increase to Rs 213 crore in FY24, while its newer rival, Lead School, recorded 25% growth to Rs 370 crore in revenue in the same period.
