Birthday party…headed to restaurant; India won Match… headed to restaurant…treat to chaps… headed to restaurant! That is how restaurants affect our life.

India is also not exception, now one can find restaurants in every nook and corner of their street. The market size of India’s restaurant sector is Rs. 247,680 Crore that is 24 times bigger than Bollywood and it’s projected to grow Rs. 408,040 Crore by 2018. Even, during the recession it was shock proof industry.

The FHRAI the apex body of the Indian hospitality industry that represents over 4100 members, including hotels, restaurants is taking cognizance of these problems and planning to put forward to the government.
