About Chatha Foods: business, products and customers

Chatha Foods makes frozen chicken toppings, fillings and snacks for big restaurant chains such as Domino's and Subway, and has just started a new plant for vegetarian breads, sauces and snacks. Its shares trade on BSE SME.

Chatha Foods, founded in 1997 and based in Punjab, is a kitchen for restaurant chains. Its chicken plant at Mohali makes pizza toppings, sandwich and taco fillings and sides to each chain's own recipe, and it names Domino's, Subway, Taco Bell and Burger King among its customers. It also serves casual dining chains, cafes, hotels and caterers, and uses the name Unifayre for its own food service range.

The way it works shapes the numbers. It supplies ex factory and the big chains collect the goods themselves, and prices are fixed once a year on open book costing, so a rise in chicken or other costs is passed on only at the next yearly reset. That keeps margins thin but steady. A few chains bring most of the sales, and the company extended credit terms to one of its largest customers, which raised the money owed to it.

In its favour

It brings in more cash than it shows as profit: ₹10 cr against ₹6.4 cr in FY26.

To watch

Orders and use of the new vegetarian plant after commercial production began on 28 September 2026; the company expected a quarter to under a third of capacity in the first year (Press release, 28 September 2026, p.2; Investor session transcript, 26 February 2026, p.7).
First sales at the Allana joint venture, which had no turnover in FY26, and the related party dealings with it: shareholders were asked to approve up to ₹40 cr of transactions in FY27, including the ₹15 cr guarantee (Annual report FY26, p.59 to p.62).
FY27 results against the company's own figure of above ₹325 cr in revenue, and whether money owed by customers stays within the 55 day cycle the company says it keeps (Investor session transcript, 26 February 2026, p.16 to p.17 and p.22).
Board and conduct items in the FY26 annual report: steep rises in executive directors' pay, the resignation of independent director Sanjiv Swarup on 12 February 2026, and the secretarial auditor's note of contra trades by designated persons (Annual report FY26, p.72, p.92 and p.99).
Customers take longer to pay than before: 48 days in FY26, against 37 in FY19.

Balance sheet · Cash flow · Working capital

The company's own money, its net worth, has grown. It borrowed much more last year. Its loans are smaller than its own money. Last year the business brought in more cash than it showed as profit. It spent more on assets and investments than the business brought in, and raised the rest from loans or shares. Customers take longer to pay than they did in FY24, which ties up more of the company's money in unpaid bills.

What the company said, and what happened

The company's own statements, attributed, set against what it later reported; not newboard's estimates

In its February 2026 investor session the company said it expects revenue above ₹325 cr in FY27 from the chicken plant, the new vegetarian plant and the Allana plant, above ₹450 cr in FY28 and above ₹550 cr in FY29 once all three plants run full. It said the vegetarian plant should run at a quarter to under a third of capacity in its first year, at a higher gross margin than chicken, and that the focus stays on restaurant chains and exports rather than its own retail brand.

Is it a good business? Six questions

Each answer is about that one question, read from the documents; tap one for the evidence. Not a view on the shares.

Chatha Foods earns its money as a steady, low margin kitchen for a handful of big restaurant chains, with prices fixed once a year.

Its weak spots are dependence on very few customers and two large new plants that now have to find enough orders.

AverageCan it set its own prices?Partly. Prices are reset each year on open book costing, so higher costs are passed on, but the chains see the costs and margins stay thin.

The evidence. Pricing for all customers is done annually on open book costing; gross margin was 27.8% in FY26 and 26.2% in FY25.Investor session transcript, 26 February 2026, p.9 to p.10; Annual report FY26, p.105

AverageHow strong is it against rivals?It has held the biggest chains for decades and new suppliers face months of audits, but rivals exist in every category and one large customer has moved some processing in house.

The evidence. Qualifying with a global chain takes three to six months; the managing director names Vista Foods, Global Gourmet, ID Foods, ADF Foods and Tasty Bite, and says one large customer's move into its own processing was decided jointly.Investor session transcript, 26 February 2026, p.5 and p.16

WatchWho are its customers?Well known restaurant chains that pay reliably, but four of them bring most of the sales.

The evidence. Top four customers were 84% of FY26 revenue; in FY23 Domino's India franchise alone was 51.53% and Subway's 31.16%.Investor presentation, May 2026, p.6; Offer document, p.105

WatchDoes it need a lot of money?Yes, for now. It has nearly quadrupled capacity with IPO money, a preferential issue and new loans, and guarantees the joint venture's borrowings.

The evidence. Capacity rose to 30,800 MT from 7,800 MT; the vegetarian plant was still in capital work in progress at March 2026; consolidated debt to equity was 0.46 against 0.14; guarantees of ₹15 cr and ₹5 cr for the joint venture.Press release, 28 September 2026, p.3; Annual report FY26, p.83, p.142 and p.178

AverageCan it keep finding new work?It is talking to new chains and has interest in private label, but no new contract is named and the vegetarian range had not gone to any multinational chain by February 2026.

The evidence. A cinema chain project had samples approved, KFC onboarding was deferred by a franchisee merger, and no vegetarian samples had been submitted to multinational store brands.Investor session transcript, 26 February 2026, p.5, p.8 and p.13

AverageDo good and bad years swing a lot?Demand follows restaurant store counts rather than seasons, but the business made a loss in the pandemic year and chicken costs can jump between price resets.

The evidence. The offer document reports no seasonality and a loss in FY21 when shutdowns hit revenue; the annual report lists meat and poultry price swings as a risk.Offer document, p.106, p.194 and p.200; Annual report FY26, p.104
