Simbisa Brands, the company behind Chicken Inn, Pizza Inn, and Galito’s, has recorded KSh 2.8 billion in revenue for the nine months ending March 2026. That is a 15 percent increase from the same period last year, and the numbers tell a story about how Kenyans are eating differently today.
The biggest surprise in the report is the delivery numbers. Online and home delivery orders shot up by 71 percent during the period. That kind of growth means a large number of Kenyans have made ordering food online a regular habit, not just an occasional convenience.
Customer numbers also grew, reaching 3.5 million people, up 21 percent from the previous year. For a fast-food company operating in an economy where many households are feeling financial pressure, that is a strong signal.
Part of what is driving this is simple. Nairobi is a busy city. People are working longer hours, sitting in traffic, and looking for ways to save time. Ordering a meal from your phone while stuck on the road or wrapping up a work meeting is just easier than driving to a restaurant. Fast food companies that understand this are winning.
There is also a pricing factor. When money is tight, people do not always stop eating out. They make smarter choices. A combo meal at Chicken Inn or a pizza deal at Pizza Inn can feel more affordable than a sit-down restaurant, and it still feels like a treat. That positioning is working in Simbisa’s favor right now.
This report really shows that Kenya’s fast-food industry is no longer just about the food. It is about speed, digital access, and convenience. The companies investing in delivery systems, mobile apps, and online visibility are pulling ahead.
Simbisa is not a household name for most Kenyans, but the brands it runs are. And quietly, the business behind those brands is growing fast.
