Burger Singh's Launches

Bowl Hub

The parent company of Burger Singh, Tipping Mr Pink Pvt. Ltd. has launched its first cloud kitchen quick service restaurant – Bowl Hub. Launching 17 simultaneous outlets across Delhi, Gurugram and Noida, Bowl Hub becomes one of the first few single-serve-bowlmeal- brands in the region for urban millennials and office goers, who are looking for an everyday quick and convenient single-serving at everyday price points.

“For the last few months, we had been incubating the brand out of some of our existing cloud kitchens under a different project name. This was to validate our recipes, taste, customer expectations and also to measure the unit-level economics that would work for us in the long run. Once we are confident of a product, the Tipping Mr Pink team has the ability to scale things up aggressively in no time,” said Kabir Jeet Singh, Founder of Tipping Mr Pink.

The growth of cloud kitchens and the online food delivery business in India is part of a mega-trend that combines on-demand and sharing economies.

Bowl Hub's menu consists mainly of rice bowls with an interesting North Indian, mughlai, Thai gravy and biryanis. It has been curated keeping in mind the lunch and dinner meal time tastes and preferences of its target audience. Apart from the traditional dal makhani, rajma and butter chicken gravies, the menu also consists of new-fashioned Thai curries, basil cream chicken and chicken korma.
