Westlife Foodworld Limited, which operates McDonald’s restaurants across West and South India through its subsidiary Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt. Ltd., has reported its Q1 FY27 results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking its strongest business momentum in recent quarters.
Revenue for the quarter came in at ₹7.36 billion, up 12% year-on-year, driven by strong guest count growth and the continued success of the company’s value-led strategy. Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) climbed to 4.3%, with May and June delivering particularly robust mid-single-digit performance.
Demand held steady across channels – on-premise sales (dine-in and takeaway) made up 59% of system sales, while off-premise business grew healthily, led by McDelivery’s continued outperformance. The company expanded its footprint to 482 restaurants across 79 cities, staying on course for its target of 580–630 outlets by December 2027.
Profitability remained strong on the back of disciplined cost control and operating leverage. Operating EBITDA rose 11% YoY to ₹946 million, with Cash PAT at ₹517 million (7% of sales). Restaurant Operating Margin stood at 18.6%, and Operating EBITDA margin at 12.9%.
The ₹99 Everyday Value platform continued to be the key driver of guest growth, while the quarter also saw the launch of “Let’s Family at McD” – a brand campaign marking 30 years of McDonald’s in India.
Chairperson Amit Jatia attributed the results to disciplined execution and sustained customer engagement despite near-term inflationary pressures, reaffirming the company’s confidence in its omnichannel growth strategy heading into FY27.
