Dudleys Eyes for an Investment of $1.5M
Started off in Gurgoan, Dudleys, a brain child of Ashish Bahukhandi and Chetan kaul is on the road to extend in Delhi and NCR region. Eyeing for an expansion in the Greater Kailash, the owners are hoping to raise 1.5 million of investment. “Currently, we are seeking for investments for further expansion and so far, our monthly turnover from two outlets is INR 20 lacs. We are optimistic with coming year as we are up to open more outlets in the capital city,” says Bahukhandi.
Dudleys is dusk to dawn chain, introducing premium gourmet burgers in India. It has a wide variety of burgers ranging from chicken and lamb to slow roasted duck, pork and fillets of tenderloin seasoned with in house spices and topped with in house sauces. Apart from burgers it also offers a range of milkshakes.
“We are known for our ‘basil n berry’ shake infused with a blend of fresh basil and berries to achieve flavour and the ‘tiramisu’ shake extracted from coffee to French biscuit to kahlua and even mascarpone cheese,” Bahukhandi told us.
Commenting upon the ideas for its inception, Bahukhandi said, “It started with an idea to give break to the usual fast food trend and satiating customers’ late-night cravings without making them compromise for anything. As far as the profit is concerned, there are few factors which make the ball fall right. For example, the average spending of a consumer is higher at night than in day which makes our model profitable.”
According to him, the sophistication of the cooking, quality of the cheese and freshness of the ingredients including the buns which are custom made, makes Dudleys stand out in the crowd. Currently, they deliver between 7PM to 4AM anywhere in Gurgoan.
