Westlife Foodworld, the master franchisee for McDonald's restaurants in West and South India, reported a 12% year-on-year increase in revenue for the first quarter of FY27, driven by higher guest traffic, improved same-store sales and continued momentum across dine-in and delivery channels.
The company posted revenue of ₹7.36 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) improved to 4.3%, with May and June delivering mid-single-digit growth as the company's value-led offerings continued to attract customers.
Operating EBITDA rose 11% year-on-year to ₹946 million, while Cash PAT stood at ₹517 million, equivalent to 7% of sales. Restaurant Operating Margin was 18.6%, and Operating EBITDA margin came in at 12.9%, supported by disciplined cost management and operating leverage.
Westlife said demand remained healthy across consumption channels during the quarter. On-premise sales, including dine-in and takeaway, accounted for 59% of system sales, while McDelivery continued to outperform and strengthen its contribution to overall growth.
The company also continued to expand its restaurant network, ending the quarter with 482 McDonald's outlets across 79 cities. It reiterated its target of operating 580–630 restaurants by December 2027.
According to the company, its ₹99 Everyday Value platform remained a key driver of guest count growth during the quarter. It also introduced the "Let's Family at McD" campaign to mark 30 years of McDonald's in India, highlighting changing family dynamics and shared everyday experiences.
Commenting on the results, Amit Jatia, Chairperson of Westlife Foodworld, said the company began FY27 on a strong footing with improving same-store sales and double-digit revenue growth. He added that despite inflationary pressures, the company maintained profitability while continuing to invest in customer engagement, omnichannel growth and restaurant expansion.
