Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about franchise investments under ₹5 lakh

What is the smallest food franchise available under ₹5 lakh?

Tea and beverages kiosks (Chaayos, MBA Chai Wala-style), ice cream parlours, and cloud kitchens on delivery platforms commonly offer models in the ₹3–5 lakh range.

Can I get a shop in a good location for a ₹5 lakh budget?

In tier-2 and tier-3 cities, yes — rents in emerging areas can be ₹8,000–₹20,000/month for 150–300 sqft. In metros, a kiosk in a residential complex or market lane is more feasible than a prime high-street outlet.

What royalty should I expect to pay?

Most brands in this range charge 4–8% of monthly revenue as royalty. Some charge a flat monthly fee instead. Verify this in the Franchise Disclosure Document before signing.

How many staff do I need for a ₹5 lakh franchise?

1–3 people including yourself. Most kiosk or small-format models are designed to run lean. Some home-based models need no external staff at all.
