Company update
We returned impressed from Popeyes first store in Chennai (Phoenix Mall,
Consumer Staples & Velachery), which marks its entry into Chennai and expansion from Bangalore (12
Discretionary stores), in the fried chicken market. The store atmosphere is appealing with
vibrant colours and a contemporary look and feel, self-ordering kiosk, good
Target price: Rs630 lighting and highest seating capacity amongst Popeyes India outlets (with a
separate section for ‘open to sky’ table seating). These features differentiate the

contemporary vibrant look and feel. The launch (a month ago) has gained google
rating of 4.4. The store is the largest Popeyes India outlet, currently with a seating
capacity of 150 split into two divisions (108 indoor and 42 outdoor with ‘open to sky’
arrangement). We believe the brand will compete fiercely with KFC and wrest some
of its market share. The market may eventually expand to accommodate both
brands; however, KFC does have an air-pocket to tackle for now.
 International flavours a potential growth story: On the menu, the Cajun-based
sandwich, fries, rice bowls are a unique offering giving consumers a choice to relish
international flavour with a mild touch of Indian spice. Traditionally, at other QSRs,
fries are a standalone offering while Popeyes brings the twist of serving French fries
pre-coated with Cajun mix (a layer coated over the potato) before frying, serving with
fusional twist. While the Cajun seasoning is available more at barbeque dine-ins
(Barbeque Nation, Coal Barbeque, Absolute Barbeque) and is well preferred, we
believe Popeyes menu may find customer patronage, which may help the brand gain

Jubilant Foodworks, March 7, 2023 ICICI Securities
 Popeyes – Our first impression: We returned optimistic from our visit to
Popeyes Chennai store launched a month ago. Located on the ground floor in
close proximity to entrance of Phoenix Market City in Velachery, trendy exteriors
and princeton orange branding (images on page 3) gives us confidence in the
store’s ability to attract footfalls. The store is adequately staffed (with 20
employees, including kitchen and servicing staff, three shift managers and one
store manager). The open kitchen with partition separating veg and non-veg
sections gels well with vegetarian customers’ preference. The menu is affordably
priced, be it an individual pick or a combo, in sync with JUBI’s value-for-money
proposition. We estimate a meal for two to cost Rs300-350, for three Rs400-500
and for four/five Rs600-770 on an average. The store currently offers dine-in and
takeaway options, and plans to launch delivery soon. It will use its own fleet (EV
vehicles) whereby delivery partners would carry the order in an insulated bag so
that the food retains its freshness and is delivered hot.
 Learnings from Popeyes – keeping a close watch: The core team is always at
the store, keeping a close watch and managing any initial hiccups. The team is
also responsible for getting first-hand customer feedbacks to improvise on the
menu and their offerings suiting the Indian palate. Statistics indicate 70% of
Indians pan-India eat non-vegetarian food. In Tamil Nadu, 97.8% of the people are
non-veg and in Karnataka 79.1% (chart-1). These data points suggest that
Popeyes chicken offerings may find good acceptance by the customer in Tamil
Nadu and Karnataka.
 Back-end infrastructure: Popeyes is likely to benefit from JUBI’s existing back-
end infrastructure including in-house digital and data strength, supply chain,
commissary, management team, etc. Supplies to the store will be sourced directly
from JUBI’s commissary (at Bangalore) and refilled on a daily basis. The raw
materials – be it the chicken, sandwich/burger patties and fries – are centrally
controlled helping the brand to retain tastes and flavours across its chain. The
store’s frying section operates with separate areas for veg and non-veg items. We
believe JUBI’s commissary and scale of sourcing could be a key driver to provide
value-for-money without diluting company profitability. JUBI initially expanded its
store network in Bangalore (currently 12 stores, with the first launched in Jan-22)
and has now expanded it further with the launch in Chennai (one store as of now).
 Valuations and risks: We maintain our earnings estimates, modelling revenue /
EBITDA / PAT CAGRs at 20% / 21% / 24% over FY22-FY24E. Maintain BUY with
a DCF-based target price of Rs630. Key downside risks are raw material costs
turning inflationary and increase in competitive intensity.
