Uncle Jack’s emerging QSR

In June 2016, Ankush opened a quick-service restaurant (QSR), Uncle Jack’s, in Sector 8, Chandigarh. The brand was bootstrapped with Rs 60,000 amassed from personal savings. Later, he borrowed over Rs 2 lakh from his friends to help with the operations. The exhibition helped Ankush as people started coming in from day one to his outlet. In the first year of operations, Uncle Jack’s clocked Rs 3 crore in annual revenue.

At present, Uncle Jack’s has eight outlets in Chandigarh, Panchkula, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and other places around Punjab. Last year, it opened a new outlet in the South Delhi market. He plans to launch two more outlets in Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh and Connaught Place this year. By 2022, Ankush is planning to build an outlet in Gujarat’s Silvassa region, which will have a base kitchen for outlets in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and a few parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

Since 2016, Uncle Jack’s finances have grown steadily, with the company clocking Rs 9 crore turnover in FY19 and Rs 16.5 crore in FY20. It is projecting to reach Rs 18 crore in FY21
