Rs 10,000 Cr into restaurants. But why do 80% fail? Here's the Hotshare F&B investment playbook
India's restaurant industry is receiving substantial investment with Rs 10,000 crore deployed in 2025, with organised food services expected to exceed half the market by 2030. However, the high failure rate—80% of restaurants closing within five years—challenges investors. Hotshare addresses this by identifying and funding proven, profitable restaurant operators rather than new concepts, targeting investments between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 5 crore. Portfolio company Beyondburg exemplifies success, growing from a small Bengaluru kiosk in 2017 to selling 3,000 burgers daily across six locations.

- 80% restaurant failure rate highlights investment risk
