15. Hangout Casa was a very prominent chain of Chinese restaurant with presence all around the nation.
Most of its outlets/restaurants are operating on franchise model, but some are company owned as well
and operating at lease-hold premises. Hangout Casa had a great reputation, its outlets have award-
winning chefs and tastefully designed interiors. Much of its business came from weekend parties and
get-to-gathers.
Due to health–related-awareness among the people at large, the consumption level of fast food is
declining. Covid also jolted the liquidity position badly. The competition from low price alternative
options also dented the sales revenue of almost all the retail outlets. It tried to widen the range of item
offered, likewise recently it started selling ice creams of Rim Jim Brand. Effort to negotiate with lessor
to reduce the rent were largly unsuccessful. Eventually the business became insolvent.
Suppliers of food, beverages and utilities were unpaid for supplies provided in the previous 45 -60
days, amounting to around Rs. 9,50,000. There were lease rental arrears that included the rent for
one month amounting to Rs. 50,000 towards landlord, Mr. Deepak (the landlord had received advance
rent for three months, lease deed provided for one-month rent as security and one-month rent as
advance). Amount of Rs. 78,000 is also due towards Rim Jim Limited, whose ice-cream it sells. Though
somehow it managed to pay bank dues to avoid any legal actions.
Hangout Casa also had a secured creditor, ‘Punji Bank’. The bank indicated that it did not wish to
appoint a receiver/ file for insolvency as the accounts were regularly maintained. For most of its own
outlets the salaries due to employees (chef, assistant chef, waiters and house-keeping staff) were paid
in half since the past three months.
