With 50 franchise outlets, the menu features chai, kaapi, sandwiches, burgers, snacks, maggi, noodles, smoothies, shakes, and desserts. The cafe brings tea-lovers and coffee-lovers under one roof in a happy, vibrant ambience.
Chai Kaapi provides 10 days of training at the franchise location covering food and beverage preparation, cafe operations, and customer service. The brand handles digital marketing. Agreement term is 5 years. Royalty is 5% of revenue.
A Chai Kaapi franchise needs a total investment of around ₹24 lakh. That includes a one-time franchise fee of ₹6 lakh. The figures come from the brand and can vary by location and outlet size.
Chai Kaapi asks for roughly 800 sq ft. A typical outlet runs with about 4 staff.
Chai Kaapi estimates a payback period of about 9 months. This is the brand's own estimate and depends heavily on location, rent, and how the outlet is run, so treat it as a guide rather than a promise.
Chai Kaapi charges a royalty of 5% of sales. These are ongoing costs, separate from the initial investment.
Chai Kaapi operates on the FOFO model. The model decides who owns the outlet and who runs it day to day, which affects how involved you are and how much of the risk sits with you.
Chai Kaapi is currently looking for franchise partners in Delhi, Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Chandigarh, and 4 other cities. Submit an enquiry to check availability in your area.
Chai Kaapi provides training, operations manual, marketing support, and supply chain. Details of what each covers are on this page, and the brand can confirm specifics for your location.
Chai Kaapi was established in 2016 and operates around 50 outlets. Track record is worth weighing alongside the investment figures when comparing brands in the food & beverage category.
