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 companyโ€™s press release. Guests can place food orders through Oyoโ€™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 Oyoโ€™s broader push to boost revenue through allied services. This isnโ€™t the companyโ€™s first foray into food โ€” 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.
