Dada Boudi dominated the city’s biryani charts, yet 90 % of revenue still rode on a single hero category. With 150+ other dishes languishing in obscurity—and chaotic, spike‑driven demand every festival—kitchen ops strained and growth plateaued. Menu Concentration: Non‑biryani items barely moved the needle. Festive‑Day Chaos: Unpredictable surges clogged prep lines and delayed deliveries. Inefficient Prep Times: Average ticket took too long to reach the pass, denting customer experience.

Biryani‑Plus Combos: Bundled signature biryanis with high‑margin sides (chaap, kababs, desserts) at price points that felt like a “treat” not a splurge. Placed combo tiles atop aggregator menus and pushed them via carousel ads. Smart Demand Forecasting. Modelled hourly order curves using past festival and weekday data. Pre‑batched mise‑en‑place targets, shaving redundant cook cycles. Kitchen SOP Optimisation: Introduced a “combo prep lane” with pre‑set portion controls. Retrained staff on parallel plating to cut queueing at the pass.
