Kumar Saurabh, executive director at Burman Hospitality that runs Mexican food chain Taco Bell in India, said while the curfew would impact dine-in customers, delivery orders were expected to be steady and, in fact, grow until the environment stabilised.

“Peak hours for any restaurant is during the lunch and dinner hours. While the evening curfew will have an impact on the restaurant business, we are committed to continuing operations as per government directives across all our restaurants,” said Moksh Chopra, chief marketing officer at KFC India.
