What to watch

  • FY26 revenue growth versus the 30.5% FY25 rate and whether same-store sales remain positive.
  • EBITDA-margin trajectory after the decline to 2.79%, especially quarterly evidence of rent and advertising leverage.
  • Net new store openings, closures, format mix and disclosed store-level payback periods.
  • Material-cost inflation, delivery-platform commission trends and changes in discounting intensity.
  • Fresh fundraising, valuation signals, debt accumulation or delayed IPO plans.
  • Management guidance on the timeline for company-level EBITDA profitability and cash-burn reduction.
  • Prioritize new outlets in proven high-throughput formats and reduce exposure to expensive low-productivity locations.
  • Tighten store-level profitability gates, including payback-period thresholds before approving expansion.
  • Raise menu prices selectively and push higher-margin beverages, combo meals, desserts and direct-order channels.
  • Renegotiate mall/high-street leases and expand central-kitchen, sourcing and wastage-control efficiencies.
  • Seek additional growth capital or structured financing if expansion continues ahead of internally generated cash flow.
