Top 5 Fastest Growing Food Franchise in 2022

Mr Dashani Founder

From the EDITOR

The pandemic has taken its toll on the food industry, but independent restaurants have undoubtedly taken a bigger hit. Franchised restaurants can be an example of the saying that safety is in numbers. The fastest growing restaurant franchises have been able to continue their growth journey due to stronger purchasing power, adaptation, and persistence, but most importantly because everyone on board works together as a team to meet new challenges.

Franchises that have not only survived but thrived, have been able to take advantage of economies of scale and increased speed of service for customers who want to get in and out quickly. While smart businesses continue to adapt and grow, the biggest franchises are paradoxically no longer among the fastest-growing restaurant franchises.

This is because they are past their rapid growth phase and now have limited territories, if not waiting lists, for new franchisees to buy into the system. Household names like McDonald's and Pizza Hut have built such large businesses with many franchisees owning many locations that it's hard for new franchises to get into the game.

Franchising is often about what's trendy, and hot. But the best franchises go beyond being trendy: Not only do they span the nation, but they’re also loved by customers, employees, and franchisees alike. In addition, they leave behind a cultural imprint that persists for generations. It's hard to say if the food franchises on this list are at this point. It is clear that they are all on the right track.

We have selected these five franchises not only based on their growth performance at the start of 2022 but also based on their reputation as franchisors and employers and transparency towards franchisees. These five franchises enrich the lives of not only the franchisor but also the franchisees and the communities in which they open.

In our edition of “Top 5 Fastest Growing Food Franchises in 2022”, on the cover page, we have Mr. Dashani, the Founder, Of “Tea Post Private Limited”. Tea Post created cafes and outlets that could cater to the common man and his love for enjoying a good cup of tea in the midst of his hectic day, served with delectable snacks.

Mr Dashani Founder

Tea Post Private Limited

Tea Post is the brainchild of a Rajkot-based businessman who first fell in love with tea and then came up with the idea of starting tea cafes to sell tea. With more than 180 branches spread across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, Tea Post is one of the fastest-growing food startups across the region. The idea of starting a tea cafe or tea kiosk was simple - they wanted to serve quality tea and snacks at competitive prices and satisfy the desire for tea away from home for students, office goers, seniors, and families. Their goal is to facilitate the availability of hygienic tea, and food along with a pleasant and inexpensive place to sit. They wanted to become a part of our everyday life of each of us, and they succeeded.

A deep-rooted love for India’s favorite drink paved the way for the establishment of Tea Post - a place dedicated to chai lovers! India’s fastest-growing tea chain, Tea Post is responsible for serving over 2 million cups of happiness every month in the form of aromatic cups of tea. Although chai is a popular drink across the country, chai lovers have not found a cafe that serves a variety of teas at an affordable price.

To bridge this gap, Tea Post created cafes and outlets that could cater to the common man and his love for enjoying a good cup of tea in the midst of his hectic day, served with delectable snacks.

Their story

Tea is not just a drink in India – it’s an emotion. It is the ultimate medicine that not only relieves stress but also soothes the soul. From chai stalls on the tiniest of street corners to high-end shopping malls, Indians can be seen everywhere sipping a hot cup of tea.

TOP 5 FASTEST GROWING FOOD FRANCHISE IN 2022

Chai Vaai Café

What is the idea behind the name of your business?

The idea behind the name Chai Vaai Café was to sound catchy and attractive, especially being in the middle of huge competition in mid-size range cafés. We just wanted one thing, something catchy, something that rolls off the tongue and is easy to remember. The name Chai Vaai Café adds the ‘’quirk’’ factor to the brand which will attract youth as well as the floating population.

We would love to know the journey of CHAI-VAAI CAFÉ and its owners

As a determined housewife and a mother of two, I got the right support and resources from my family and especially my daughter Diya Gurnani to start a small Cafe known as CHAI VAAI CAFE in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. I channelized all my savings into the business unaware of the outcome. The cafe started on a stable note and business was smooth, but to make it harder the PANDEMIC COVID-19 kicked in. The entire nation and the world went on Lockdown. After feeling hopeless, I broke down but didn’t give up. The bank would call me for clearance of dues. The shop licensor was not giving concessions in the wake of the pandemic. A ray of hope came in when I was granted permission to re-open the cafe. We started fixing the damage by putting all the broken pieces together to bring us back into the business. Initially, it was very hard, but I believe it was my willpower and determination that resurrected us.

The entire team started working on a strategy that took some time to implement but eventually we became CHAI VAAI CAFE PRIVATE LIMITED with over 19 Operational Outlets PANINDIA, and 5 Upcoming outlets. Chai Vaai Cafe Private Limited is visible in cities like Indore, Ambajogai, Lucknow, Ichalkaranji, Sirohi, Ahmedabad, Patna, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Varanasi, Jalgaon, Raipur, Jabalpur, Lalitpur, Navi Mumbai, and many more upcoming. It’s been a mixture of hard and good times, still struggling but strong at Heart with all determination to show everyone who looked down on me for everything. Our amazing menu range was designed by food specialists with a very extensive plan for everyone in a budgeted and pocket-friendly manner.

Simran Gurnani (Founder) Diya Gurnani (Co-Founder)

How do you balance taste and health? How do you describe the satisfaction?

The entire menu was designed with the thought process of using the best of the ingredients and preparing it hygienically. Our menu is widespread with different cuisines, and we make sure everything tastes best to the end-user. However, while we focus on creating scrumptious dishes we do not want to compromise on health. Our unique dishes vigilantly blend taste and health to ensure that we do not become labeled as the ‘’junk food joint’’.

At Chai Vaai Café, the only thing which made us stand out in the market during lockdown was our Quality, Quantity, Price, and most important factor TASTE. Describing Taste would be easy for us after having 18 plus Outlets Pan-India and people coming back because of Taste and all the other factors. We wish to appeal to the taste buds and palates of young India.

How do you differentiate yourself from your competitors? Why prefer CHAIVAAI CAFÉ

We have been different from the day we took our first step starting Chai Vaai Café. Our menu is unique in many ways. We offer over 7 different flavors of tea ranging from rose to chocolate and 12 different options for sandwiches. We have a special “Maa menu’’ which encompasses homely recipes such as Rajasthani poha,

Chur-Chur Paratha, and more. When we talk about Indore (Madhya Pradesh), a city called for foodies, establishing a café would mean plenty of competition. Indore has been booming non-stop for several years, so we kept the trend on and stood way apart from other Chai Brands who are growing and selling franchises all over. We serve almost the same Tea & Coffee menu as most other brands in the market but what differentiates us is that we have FOOD FOR EVERY MOOD. We practically serve every type of food on our menu to attract more people in a pocket-friendly way. Thus, we do not compare ourselves to other Chai-selling brands in the market. Our Vision and Mission are different from the others.

How would you describe your leadership style?

If I talk about personality traits being specific to our brand, I will say 100% of hard work, determination, and the skill set of people who are with you, and it is very necessary to have an attitude of not giving up. Lastly, my advice would be to always try to grow on your customers and make them feel overwhelmed with your service and food.

We would like to know about your successful plans of yours which you implemented as a change and became your identity.

When we rolled out the giving franchise, the only objective we had was to grow on FOOD, as multiple

Chai brands are giving similar types of services and menus. We didn’t want to be called the same as usual, so we developed our cost to the basic for franchise and menu for mass, where we start from Rs10 – Rsl50 where we can target everyone, with a pocket-friendly menu serving fresh, hygienic, fast meals served with the best ingredients and loads of LOVE. We offer full training to all the franchise owners and staff, with a well-trained Chef with proper SOP.

What is the biggest risk you’ve ever taken? Did it prove good or bad?

The biggest risk was getting into the franchise business amid a complete Lockdown. Our roadmap was very simple to open one outlet and make the ends meet, but what I see now CHAI VAAI CAFÉ PRIVATE LIMITED, is to be at least everywhere possible in PAN-INDIA, and it’s just not about opening multiple outlets it is about making every franchise grow with all the support, help, and keeping the brand up with all the latest trends.

How many outlets do you have across India?

When we started the journey, we just had 1 outlet. In the past one year, we have opened 40 outlets all across India. Our growth in such a small span of time has been

our focal point for the past one year, and our team put in a lot of effort to achieve the target.

Describe the term either leave some decision to the chance or choose the way first.

Innovation is what we all are about, we keep adding that’s what it’s all about, the team is full of experience and ideas, and we fully support them to bring it ahead. We keep ourselves updated with all the new trends and all the possibilities of what can be done, but we also do see the budget of our franchise owners, and how far can we take it forward.

Best Food Franchises in India with Low Investment

People are always skeptical when it comes to entering any type of business. But one area that will never let you down is the food and beverage business. Our country India provides suitable situations for the food and beverage industry as the demand is quite high in this country. Having your food in a luxurious, or maybe not so luxurious, the outlet has become a symbol of people’s social status.

Therefore, people are constantly getting opportunities whether it is an international or national franchise. You can always have a wide variety of options to work on like you can start your line in a bakery or fried chicken or pizza or burgers or coffee. No matter what the conditions are, you will never fail in the F&B industry, and you will always earn enough profits.

The Best Food Franchises in India in 2022…

☐ KFC franchise: Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is the best-known brand of fried chicken recipes that has no competition. KFC started franchising in 1952 in the US and gained popularity throughout Asia during the last decade of the 1990s. With more than 40,000 branches worldwide, it is among the leading wealthiest corporations worldwide. This franchise also costs around 50 lakhs if you open traditional stores and 1 crore for non-traditional ones. At the same time, the total investment goes up to 3 crores. There is no dearth of KFC lovers in India and hence starting a KFC franchise seems like a very good idea. This is one of the best food franchises in India.

☐ Domino’s Franchise: Firstly, the Domino franchise is a subsidiary of Jubilant Fireworks. It is also widely regarded as the most impressive pizza franchise. Domino’s serves its customers. It offers a variety of stores, including traditional, non-traditional and

transitional stores. Dominos requires an investment between 30-50 lakhs, depending on the franchise. Your profit margin will be great if you open a Domino’s food franchise.

☐ Subway franchise: Subway is one of the first chains that provided fast food and broke the stereotypes of fast food as unhealthy. Subway also started this trend worldwide. With seafood-based sandwiches, Subway has provided an affordable and wonderful alternative that maintains the good health of fries and raspberries, which have long been the dominant choice in the fast-food market.

Subway is one of the most popular and successful food franchises in India. It is very successful and if you successfully set up a Subway franchise in the right location, you can continue to count the money. Ultimately, Subway is a popular brand that has the trust of its discerning, health-conscious clientele. Subway has created its menus based on Indian vegetarian dishes and plans to expand its Indian product line soon. Therefore, it provides the most lucrative investment opportunity for those who want to invest.

☐ Tibbs Frankie Franchise: If we talk about cheap and affordable food in India, Tibbs Frankie is among the best selection of food franchises. The name is derived from the West Indies cricketer Frank Worrell. This food chain is popular for providing premium quality food to its customers. The person who started Tibb’s Frankie in 1969 in Mumbai was Amarjit Singh. It is a business with a presence in fifteen Indian cities and has more than 300 grocery stores.

The area requirement for an individual to set up Frankie Factory of Tibb is between 50-150 m2. A minimum of 3-5 people is required to purchase a Tibbs Frankie franchise.

☐

Chick Blast Franchise: In 2009, Chick Blast was launched. Among India’s fastest-growing fast food chains, the brand is known for its wraps, burgers, and fried chicken. When you join Chick Blast and decide to franchise, you get a number of benefits. One of its advantages is that this business provides all support and assistance to franchisees, including training staff to help them set up the business. Another advantage of owning a franchise is that the owner does not have to meet any financial requirements, royalties, or rights against the company. This could be one of the best Indian food franchises under 2000.

Final Thoughts…

Food franchises are extremely popular in India and are profitable as they generate an impressive amount of money. However, choosing the wrong one will cost you time and money. It is essential to choose the most reliable food franchise that you can trust and that will allow you to succeed. You should get enough return for your hard work.

Investing in franchises from India could bring more profits than starting a new business. But it would help if you were well-informed to thoroughly understand the basics of starting a food franchise because the better you are aware of it, the more money you will make.

What makes a food franchise successful?

Things are moving so fast that it will be difficult for entrepreneurs to keep up with the demands of consumers. With changing economic and social conditions, developing countries, especially India and China, have some unique challenges. Examples include mobile phone usage, fast food, online ordering, call center demand, etc. All of these have a major impact on consumer needs.

With more than one family member working to meet the demand, people are eating out more than ever. This can be in the form of lunch during office hours, dinner due to lack of time and energy to prepare food at home, ease of ordering food, and more people traveling due to improved surface transportation.

All of this has a major impact on consumer eating habits, and when you consider the millions of people in each market segment, the potential for food franchising is unprecedented. People are also becoming more aware of ethnic foods and varieties.

The Top Characteristics of a Successful Food Franchise Owner

☐

Willing to get your hands dirty: When you go into business as a franchise owner, it's important to remember that you need to know how to do every job your employees do—and be willing to help out from time to time where needed. There will be times when you're short-staffed and need to jump on the food assembly line, on top of your brand management role – and that's just part of the business.

☐

Dedicated hard worker: Running any kind of business is hard work – and owning a food franchise is no different. You may have heard the adage that "you get out what you put in," and never has that been more true than in your role as a franchise owner. Your ability to work hard and dedicate yourself to building your business—even if it means working outside of your regular nine-to-five—is what will make you successful.

☐

Problem-solving: Owning a food franchise means you'll spend a lot of time with customers—and those customers are usually the general public. Learning to communicate well and respond positively to criticism can be a huge indicator of your ability to succeed in this type of environment. If you can deal with people - and solve problems - then the life of a franchise owner could be perfect for you!

☐ Great networking skills: As a franchise owner, your business plan will mostly be built for you from the start. What isn't quite set in stone is how you bring in new customers. Your ability to network within the community—and use the networks you've already built around your business— will be an essential resource for growing your community presence (and helping your business become profitable). If you are a networking fiend, you have a better chance of success as a franchise owner.

What things make a food franchise successful?

☐ Technology plays a major role - In this modern world, technological advancements and affordable gadgets have changed the way we used to do business. Whether it's operational procedures, training, or management, technology plays a big role. These aspects are extremely important for franchising. Consumers can order food from their mobile phones, restaurants can have electronic dining boards, and basically, the entire process of serving food can be modernized.

☐ Simplifying procedures - To stay in the fastest growing market, it is important to have a simple and easy-to-understand menu. The food on the menu should be simple, easy to prepare in a short time, and convenient to serve. People don't always have time for very sophisticated meals. Takeout or delivery is still popular. Therefore, foods should have good retention properties, at least for a period before the food is consumed.

☐ Concept development -The franchise concept needs to be developed carefully. Consumer needs, food quality, replicability, and trainability, are the main things to focus on. It's a concept that has kept the franchise going for years. A franchisor should

devote a significant amount of time, effort, and resources to the development of the franchise model. It is advisable to get professional help in planning concepts for a food franchise business.

☐ Bidders in the market - Every successful franchise will attract competitors and other businesses that either duplicate or surpass the franchise concept. Uniqueness is a factor that makes a business successful in a particular industry. The uniqueness of the franchise model prevents it from being taken over by a competitor in the market. This does not mean that other competitors will not offer similar products and services. However, the franchise should stand alone and be sustainable despite competition.

☐ Location- Location plays a major role in the success of any food franchise business, and with growing trends, it is important to find the best possible location where this new target audience is accessible. Getting to the front is also a trick to franchise success. With the right visibility, access and convenience, a food franchise can grow and be successful.

Final Thoughts…

A food franchise is a brand in which an investor or franchisee has purchased the right to sell the products and services of the franchisor or brand. The franchisee is responsible for the day-to-day running and management of the brand. In return, the licensing franchisor, or franchisor, offers support, marketing, and a proven food business model.

A franchise often begins as a successful restaurant before branching out to multiple locations and investors. The original restaurant refines the business model by suggesting different strategies for success, seeing what works, and creating a proven formula before the brand franchises.

As more franchisees open, the brand can grow quickly, and the franchisor makes more money. At the same time, franchisees can take advantage of a proven business model that reduces the risks of failure and provides higher profits and benefits.

products of a particular brand of the restaurant. The franchisee pays a fee to obtain a franchise license in this business model.

The franchise owner takes care of the management and operation of the franchise store. In the meantime, the franchisee receives monetary compensation based on the agreement. The restaurant brand will offer support and marketing assistance in running the outlet. This low-risk business model provides assured support and profits.

The basic requirements to consider before deciding on this model are location, investment, type of restaurant brand, and market requirements in your chosen area.
