With this funding, the Gurugram-based company plans to drive growth by opening both company-owned, as well as, franchisee-owned restaurants. The brand also plans to double its workforce by adding another 400 people through its restaurant network in the next 18 months.
Speaking on the growth of the brand, Kabir Jeet Singh, Founder and CEO, Burger Singh, said,
“The online burger delivery segment’s growth-rate has only been second to that of Biryanis, and I feel we are in a good position to capitalise on our early successes. We have a really good product that we are very confident of, and I think we have been able to achieve consistency of quality and service, which has been rewarded by the consumer via high repeat rates. We want to maintain our rate of growth at a comfortable and steady pace."
Currently, Burger Singh claims to have served 18.6 million people through its network.
In total, it has 23 restaurants based in the Delhi-NCR and four more spread across Nagpur, Dehradun, and Jaipur.
