Flipitmoney
Sapphire Foods, operator of Pizza Hut, has paused expansion plans due to weak same-store sales growth (SSSG) and poor unit-level returns. SSSG declined 8% YoY in Q2 FY26 and average daily sales per store slipped to Rs 42,000 from Rs 47,000. The company operates 338 Pizza Hut outlets and has a net decline of one store in calendar year 2025.
