BNHL is one of the largest casual dining chain in the country, with a portfolio of 147 BBQ Nation Restaurants across 77 cities in India and 6 international outlets. The company also operates 9 restaurants and 11 restaurants under the brands 'Toscano' and 'UBQ by Barbeque Nation'.
The chain casual dining market has thrived in the last few years and so did the company, as its topline has expanded at % CAGR from F18-F20. However, the pandemic has completely shifted the ball game throughout the industry; for a company that was already loss-making, the main problem would be value generation given subdued expected recovery due to the second wave. 
In this insight, we focus on some of the balance sheet and a lot of governance cautions, mainly on the promoter profile that one should consider before taking any action on the stock. Like always, we do not comment on the valuation of IPO.
