Subway has always been one of the top & more healthier choices when it comes to the fast-food industry. But did you know that there is one outlet that holds the record for selling the most submarine sandwiches annually across all Subway outlets worldwide? And the best part is that it is in India.
Griffith David (50), a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur, owns the Subway Franchise at the Bengaluru‘s Kempegowda International Airport. The outlet is so famous that it bakes fresh bread up to 10 times a day to meet its massive demand.
While speaking about his outlet David told SMBstory,
My outlet at Bengaluru airport was awarded number one in unit sales worldwide in 2015 and 2019. It is in a great location, open 24/7, managed efficiently and serves only fresh food. Further, we ensure the line moves quickly. This way, we are able to sell around 1,200 subs each day
With an IT background and an MBA degree from Thunderbird School of Global Management, Arizona, David was keen on entering the food industry but had no prior experience. That is when he decided to take up the Subway franchise. Slowly and gradually, Griffith acquired the franchise for 5 more Subway outlets.
In his IT days, Griffith had worked with Intel and Yahoo and used to manage teams and business units in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Apart from the franchises, Griffith had the Habanero Restaurant chain in various cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, & Chennai. Despite good reviews & loyal customers, the restaurant was unable to generate expected profits. That is when Griffith decided it was time to work on a different vertical.
With the first-hand experience he received from managing these outlets he then Habanero Sauce business from scratch in 2012.
Having Subway franchise along with his restaurant business, Griffith then entered Habanero Sauce business which took him to new heights. The Habanero business toady has a revenue of Rs 1.5 crore and has 30 employees.
