Restaurant Business Success with Nikita Harisinghani | Late Checkout, Gigi, Eve, Donna Deli

What if the real secret behind Mumbai’s most iconic restaurants wasn’t just the food, but actually smaller details like the washroom??🤯


In this episode, we sit down with Nikita Harisinghani, the vision behind Late Checkout, Gigi, Eve, Blah, Donna Deli to understand the restaurant business in India


We start with the story behind Late Checkout, how Nikita spotted a gap others ignored, and the little details that transformed it into a larger-than-life experience. She then pulls back the curtain on the numbers from operational costs to profit margins, and why so many restaurants struggle to remain in business.


We also dive into the shift in India’s dine-in vs. delivery culture, the rise of QSRs, and what the future of eating out looks like. To close, Nikita shares her advice for anyone dreaming of opening their own place.
