Hi. My name is AB.
I've co-founded 2 brands - The Pizza Bakery & Paris Panini. The company I built with my brother has just hit the magical 100 Cr ARR mark, and can be valued at at least 3x.
I'm happy, but not fulfilled.
After much thought and pondering, I realise that I like giving myself new and loftier challenges.
This channel is dedicated to documenting my progress in striving hard to achieve them.
My latest challenge is to build a 100 Cr. Burger Brand, whilst offering you the viewer business entertainment, education and inspiration.

Pease have lamb Burgers, these days it's all chicken and buff😢
for vegetarians (I personally dont like fried stuff but yea) - people love real jalapeño poppers / chilli relenos , good quality onion rings like beer battered, and in burger I think you already have black bean god knows why it doesn't work or else veg people wants that fried veg patty like a classic veg burger fried patty onion tomato lettuce pickle mayo cheese style, I think black bean I personally love but its an acquired taste for veg , black bean also works great with guacamole inside it , you can also experiment chilli releno in the veggie burger , falafel burger with some avocado or veggie burger replace mayo with hummus give it a try dont know sounds hit or miss to me but giving out just ideas , mushroom burger people like this as well or a truffle sauce based burger , also a classic grilled cheese though not a burger but might work
So exciting.. can’t seem to wait to indulge!
30 days of juicy burgers to taste and relish. Awesome 🎉
Oh yes!❤
🚀 😊
Bigger and better than ever before 🍔
Incredible! can’t wait for 3.0 🍔🍻
It's super se v upar , am rating 5/5
Is it Halal??

I think what would set you guys apart from the rest of them is the fact that your product - burgers - were fantastic. All the marketing has to follow up with a good product, at the end of the day. Can’t wait to be there in December when you’ll do open the outlet. I hope I can get a spot for myself on the opening day. Wish you’ll the best!
We agree! ❤ thanks for your support!
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great video/vlog! Honoured to be featured 🍔
You're the best!
Thank you! Incredible experience!

Lovely man, lovely! You're awesome
alsooooo please please please get the fries right. soggy salty long and skinny😝🤭

Love how you break shit down man. Brilliant stuff!
Thank you 🙏🏽

7th St. is the smash burger GOAT tbh
Interesting to see this journey. 7th Street Burger is legit. There's one a couple of blocks down from me. They also do the spicy loaded fries akin to In N Outs Animal Fries. Another low key smash burger place which doesn't get a lot of attention in NYC is Smackin Burger. It's hidden away in a gas station in the West Village. Hamburger America also rotates a special every month where they add a new regional burger every month. Should definitely consider adding something educational considering people in India may not fully understand the concept initially. Cheers!
Interesting! Thanks for the tip 😊
You guys are killing it, with the edit and the content.. All the very best!
Thanks! ❤❤
If the model franchising, I assume the multiple will be very different. There are brands who don’t have any company outlets. What would be there multiple of the Gross revenue to arrive at valuation.
@@nirigupta In 2024’s current funding/valuation scenario anything scalable whether it’s via franchise or COCO model will generally be valued at between 3x-6x - Provided there is a healthy EBITDA (insert giant asterisk here!). Anything more than that is 2021 bull run vanity where money transcended logic. Examples of this -> Rebel Foods, Wow Momo, Third Wave Coffee and so on.. :)
Keep in coming, definitely inspired more about the numbers than the food in the US😂. They really have dry, tasteless, unseasoned food. Been disappointed many times over.
Haha, someone had to say it! ;) ❤
I love the way you've build this brand but honestly this gives me 'ameeron ke chochle' vibes.99.99% Indians won't be able to afford it. It's definitely a premium brand, maybe difficult to scale but kudos to you for sharing such valuable insights.
I just love the way you present yourself. ❤️ Your vibe is totally different, it feels like totally American vibe.
Super cool project bro I want to be a part of your project I worked Mini food joints like Pizza Hut Domino's Leon's burger etc cetera in service industry to it will be great working with you if I got a chance
@@pavane1920 email your resume to abgupta89@gmail.com
Sir September it will be august is done 🤪incase you raise shares via equity we all as a community should be given a chance to be a part of Smash Guys
@@MaulikMorzaria haha correct sir 💯
what is the CapEx for starting let say your gourmet burger business?
Well, I've got to say it was me who ordered the egg salad sandwich, not Durrani. Let's just say i am to be blamed here 😂
Haha, fair play Manu! To each his own, don’t let me judge you ❤❤
🙏🕉️🕉️🕉️,
Om Shanti!
Thank you for your service to the FnB space❤
Thank you for watching! Glad you find it engaging ❤
truly incredible stuff, love the content!
Happy to hear that ❤
I cant believe i get to hear this from you, for free. Absolute legend!
Really glad you find it informative, that’s the intention! 😊
That grilled cheese sando looked so good
@@GurudathShivapooja ikr 😼
Love the vibe at 7th Street Burger. Super cool! Deshna rapping 😀 was epic
Haha word.
This is great research guys! I’m sure you’re gonna make smash guys even better than all these!
❤ 😊
Add an iced milo to your beverage menu apart from the regular aerated stuff. Would be super cool!
Nice idea 💡
Another great video AB. I'm interested to know why you discussed valuation based on revenue multiples rather than EBITDA/SDE?
Thanks Rishi! Simply because these are the discussions we’ve had with potential acquirers / investors. As long as you’re EBITDA positive in double digits as a percentage, they’re good to discuss multiples based on rev.
@@AbGupta That's amazing bro, i'm assuming that translates to like a 30-40x earnings valuation? You're killing it! Love following this journey.
@@rishimodha1656 F&B cos can be at anywhere between 15-25% EBITDA. At 20% if my math’s right a 4x would work out to a 20x EBITDA multiple..
@@AbGupta Ah thanks for the explanation, I wrongly assumed margins would be lower!
@@rishimodha1656mass premium categories stronger margins. Unlike say Biryani or kathi roll brands which are lower margin but 5x the volume!
Exciting! When can we expect a public launch?
We're going as fasssstt as we can with the physical outlet, but hope to launch digitally (swiggy) in October!
How can you not do in n out and shake shack for a burger place in America. In NYC, there’s black tap as well
In n Out + Shake Shack aren't exactly what Smash Guys are going for.. We're taking inspiration from new-age Smash Burger joints like 7th Street and H.A. Of course there's more than just these 2, but these two are especially iconic, to us.
Sanjay Nagar.. okaaay! Got a bit excited when I heard 12th Main and 80ft road. I live right there.. Nevertheless - me thinks this would take a few months, no? Can’t wait. Can’t wait to devour the smash burger.. all I ask for is beef! ;)
Your wish is my command ❤
😍😍Exciting!!!
❤
🙏🕉️🕉️🕉️,You should also open a branch in Dehradun and Mussoorie., please develop my city,
One day ❤
Do you do pizza bakery franchise? We don't have any outlet in north india
@@kaustubhtiwari2194 sorry we don’t, all outlets are company owned & operated as of today.
@@AbGupta when can we expect an outlet in North India then?
@@kaustubhtiwari2194 the market in BLR is really deep. Not venturing into the north until we’ve captured the south!
will there be a burger drop 2.0
yes!
Since I asked I need to get to be one among the reviewers😝
