Oyo adds hotels as business economics stabilise

The company aims to win back top hotels and regain market share by leasing and managing properties. Oyo is also seeking private funding and awaiting the decision on its delayed stock listing.

Oyo re-enters food biz with Townhouse Cafe QSR chain

Oyo re-enters food biz with Townhouse Cafe QSR chain

Oyo re-enters food biz with Townhouse Cafe QSR chain Hospitality major Oyo has forayed into the quick-service restaurant (QSR) space with the launch of its in-house brand, Townhouse Cafe. These cafes will be rolled out across company-serviced hotels (Townhouse by Oyo). Oyo has piloted the model since January 2025, covering 100 hotels across India. Over the coming months, it plans to scale this up in phases, targeting an ambitious 1,500 hotels, as per the company’s press release. Guests can place food orders through Oyo’s app as well as partner OTAs. In addition to in-house kitchens, the company is rolling out QSR carts and lobby stores under the Townhouse Cafe brand to offer ready-to-eat meals. According to the release, OYO is building a network of food and beverage experts across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Indore, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Lucknow to support its food service operations. While Oyo is yet to file its full FY25 financials, the IPO-bound company reported revenue of Rs 5,389 crore in FY24, slightly down from Rs 5,464 crore in FY23. However, a 16% reduction in expenses helped it post a net profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 230 crore for the year. The QSR venture seems to be part of Oyo’s broader push to boost revenue through allied services. This isn’t the company’s first foray into food — it launched a cloud kitchen business in 2019 but exited during the pandemic. While food operations are a natural extension of the hotel business, they require a distinct skill set and dedicated teams. Oyo likely gained valuable insights from its initial attempt and now appears better prepared to scale its food business in a more sustainable and strategic manner.
