Devyani International Limited (DIL) is the fastest growing company in the Indian retail Food & Beverage sector,
with presence in 9 countries cutting across the Indian subcontinent, Nepal and Nigeria. Devyani International
Limited currently has 300+ outlets of Pizza Hut, KFC, Costa, Vaango, Swensens, and many other brands.

DILs multi-format business includes quick service restaurants, fine dining, home delivery, catering and airport
food courts.

Looking for an efficient software system to back up company growth

As all operations were managed through a legacy system, Devyani found it hard to control its outlets
effectively. Some of the main challenges included:

All outlets were managed in silos; compilation, collection or replication of data throughout the outlets and
HO was a nightmare.

Manual data had to be collected from each location and then brought to the head office for consolidation etc.

Huge amounts of time were spent moving things to the next level this made it impossible to calculate ROI

Extra manpower and coordination were needed to report daily sales and consumption

Inaccuracies due to manual compilation (done in Microsoft Excel)

In the absence of an integrated system, promotional schemes had to be manually installed at each outlet

Delayed decisions and manual process to launch promotions

Aware that the disparate, standalone systems could no longer meets its business requirements, DIL decided to
update its infrastructure and processes to new ones that would support the continual growth process. The
company sought a solution that would take care of best practices and data consolidation at the head office,
handle billing at all stores, manage multiple POS terminals, supervise stocks and store-wise profitability, define
promotional offers and schemes as well as provide online information.

Success running 1300 POS terminals on LS Nav Hospitality
To manage the diverse needs of its business, DIL considered various alternative solutions. After a detailed
evaluation process, the company decided on LS Nav Hospitality with an LS Retail partner in India, Dynamic
Vertical Solutions (DVS) in April 2008. The implementation started in Costa Coffee retail outlets, followed by
Pizza Hut stores in August 2008; KFC Stores were next up. By February 2009, the system was rolled out in all of
the 130 stores and 500 POS terminals at the Pizza Hut call center and head office in Delhi.

The Sales reports along with tax calculations are generated on a daily basis for all stores and are replicated in
the head office in 30-40 minutes. Earlier this operation took days with lots of man-power to manually combine
data from separate systems and then calculate sales figures each month
