The last couple of months have definitely been a downer for the industry, but that’s also what has made us innovate and come up with new solutions to entice diners,” says Rohit Aggarwal, Director of Lite Bite Foods Pvt. Ltd. LBF’s first kitchen is expected to go live in August 2020 in Delhi. The F&B giant has aggressive expansion plans with the aim to open one kitchen every month, and rollout 36 cloud kitchens over the course of three years, targeting Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

The company is one of India’s leading F&B retail conglomerates with popular and critically-acclaimed restaurant brands like Punjab Grill, TRES, You Mee, The Artful Baker, Zambar, Hahn’s Kitchen, Street foods by Punjab grill and many more under its wings.
