Analyst Percy Panthaki pressed management on why no price hikes despite stabilized double-digit SSSG for three quarters; CEO deflected citing growth strategy over profit, stating 'it's very easy to take price hike at this stage' but prioritizing franchise penetration. This suggests margin recovery may be slower than cost-cutting alone can achieve.
~75% of the ~200bps gross margin decline attributed to margin-dilutive new products (Big Big Pizza, INR 99 lunch, chicken expansion) that management deliberately chose over pricing. While CEO calls it an 'aberration', the strategic commitment to value-first growth suggests margin expansion faces a ceiling without revenue leverage or pricing power.
An analyst asked management to rank loyalty program benefits (new customer acquisition, AOV increase, frequency increase) by contribution; CEO gave qualitative answers citing 'long-term value of loyal customers' at 4x feed rate but refused to quantify. This leaves investors unable to assess true ROI of the 37M member program.
Analyst Aditya Suman highlighted that standalone EBIT has declined at 11% CAGR over three years while revenue grew 11% CAGR, driven by gross margin compression and higher depreciation from technology/supply chain investments. CFO acknowledged past margins 'were not sustainable' and promised improvement but gave no specific timeline.
