Curio Foods · For restaurants across India

Build your food business on a plan, not guesswork.

Most restaurants don't close because the food was bad. They close because the area was wrong, the prices left nothing after Swiggy, or nobody could find them on Google. Nobody checked. We check. Then we fix it with you.

Great food gets you the first order. Great numbers keep you open.

Built by people who've opened, run, lost money on and fixed restaurants since 2018.

The food is the easy part.

RICE BOWL

Menu price₹249

after commission and the offer

YOU KEEP₹62

You already know how to cook. What sinks a restaurant is everything around the plate: opening where five others already sell the same thing, a ₹249 bowl that leaves you ₹62 after commission and the offer, a Google listing with three blurry photos and a closed sign on a Sunday.

None of that shows up on day one. All of it shows up in month three.

That's the part we fix.

Sound familiar?

Everyone has advice for a new restaurant.

Some of it might even be right. But none of it is about your area, your costs or your numbers. Most restaurants are built on advice like this. It's also why most of them don't make money.

  • Add biryani. Biryani always sells.
  • Give 50% off on Swiggy, orders will come.
  • Keep 80 items. Something for everyone.
  • Just keep prices ₹10 less than next door.
  • Open near the college, there's always a crowd.
  • Copy the menu of the place that's always full.

Everyone has advice. Nobody has your numbers. So we built the tools.

One path, three tools

Three decisions make or break a restaurant.

Get them right in order. We built a tool for each one.

  1. Step 1 · Where and what

    Curio Scout. Find the gap before you find the shop.

    Every restaurant around your location, every cuisine compared with the rest of the city, and the gaps worth opening into.

    Find your gap
  2. Step 2 · Menu and pricing

    Menu Architect. Price it before you plate it.

    Your full menu, with local competitor prices, recipes, costing, and prices that still leave you money after Swiggy, Zomato and the offer.

    Build your menu
  3. Step 3 · Get found

    Restaurant Grader. Get found before you get forgotten.

    Your Google listing checked the way a hungry customer sees it, with the exact fixes that bring back calls, orders and walk-ins.

    Grade my restaurant
  4. Step 4 · Done with you

    Curio growth partner. Stuck? We'll find the blocker.

    Hands-on help to find what's holding your restaurant back, and fix it.

Busy isn't the same as profitable. Let's find out which one you are.

Done with you

Every stuck restaurant has one blocker. Finding it is what we do best.

Sometimes it's the menu. Sometimes it's prices that look fine and leave nothing after commission. Sometimes nobody can find you, or your Swiggy listing loses every order to the place next door. Owners are usually too close to the kitchen to see it. We're not.

We find the one thing holding you back. Then we fix it with you, hands-on, until the numbers move.

Advice tells you what's wrong. We stay until it's fixed.

Where the blocker usually hides:

The menu.
Too many dishes, the wrong heroes, combos nobody orders.
The margins.
Prices, offers, packaging and food cost quietly eating your profit.
Visibility.
Google, Swiggy and Zomato listings that don't convert.
The kitchen.
Recipes, SOPs and vendors that make every plate different, and expensive.
The launch.
Opening day planned. Day 90 not.

How it works:

  1. Free strategy call. Tell us where it hurts. We'll ask what an operator would ask.
  2. We find the blocker. Your numbers, menu, listings and kitchen. We show you what's really going on.
  3. We fix it with you. A clear plan, done together, until it works.

Why listen to us

We've lost our own money so you don't have to.

We've failed.

Our first brand didn't make it. It taught us the most expensive lesson in this business: a busy kitchen and a profitable kitchen are not the same thing.

We've seen it from the inside.

Years inside Mumbai's food-tech companies, working on menus, pricing and growth with restaurants of every size.

We still run kitchens.

We run our own new-generation restaurant brands today. Every tool on this page gets tested on our own kitchens first.

Consultants tell you what to do. We've done it, broken it and fixed it.

Dhrubo, founder of Curio Foods

From the founder

I built the tools I wish I'd had in 2018.

I'm Dhrubo. In 2018 I started my own food brand. It failed, and it taught me more than anything since.

After that I joined food-tech companies in Mumbai and helped run them, working with restaurants on their menus, pricing and growth from the inside. Today I run Curio Foods: we build and run our own new-generation restaurant brands, and work as a done-for-you growth partner for owners who want to open, fix or scale.

Use the tools on your own. Or talk to us, and we'll do it with you.

One login for everything?

Yes. One Curio login works across Scout, Menu Architect and the Grader.

Curio Scout is ₹499 for 3 reports. Menu Architect is ₹299 a report, or 3 for ₹399. The Restaurant Grader is free. All prices include GST.

What happens on the free strategy call?

You tell us where it hurts. We ask what an operator would ask and tell you honestly what we see. If we can help, we'll say how. If we can't, we'll say that too.

Do you only work with new restaurants?

No. We work with founders who are opening, and owners whose restaurant is busy but not profitable enough.

Do you work in my city?

Yes. Our done-for-you growth partner works with restaurants anywhere in India, and so do Menu Architect and the Restaurant Grader. Only Curio Scout is limited for now, to Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata.
