In a fast food industry main target customers of different players are young children’s. Because of the large number of food retail and tendency of consumers to switch from one product to another there is low level of customer commitment. In earlier time, people used to cook their food at home but today time has changed a lot and now Indian people prefer eating in restaurants because of improvement and up gradation of technology in food sector. A customer now wants quick delivery, taste, healthy food with variety. This is due to the changing life style of people of India.
