Brands, restaurant fit-out and equipment investment, and pre-opening staffing and training costs \u2014 before a new restaurant reaches break-even. Devyani&#8217;s rapid store expansion means the combined pre-opening costs and ramp-up losses from new stores exceed the profits from mature stores in any given year. As expansion pace moderates and mature store count grows, the aggregate economics improve toward profitability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devyani International share pros
