India’s food and beverage industry is undergoing a massive shift. From premium cafés to scalable QSRs, branded outlets are taking over high-street real estate — and smart investors are getting in early.
But here’s the twist: you no longer need to operate a restaurant to profit from one.
Thanks to the Company-Operated Franchise Model, you can now own a branded outlet while the brand handles the entire operation. At BBFT, we specialize in connecting investors with such models — where you bring the capital, and the brand brings the execution.
Let’s break down how to enter this space, smartly and strategically:
1. Define Your Investment Appetite and Involvement Level
Start with clarity. Are you looking to invest ₹30–70 lakhs in a high-efficiency QSR or ₹1 Cr+ in a flagship café or casual diner?
This first step helps filter the right brand, location, and model for your goals. Whether you’re diversifying across asset classes or building an F&B-specific portfolio, your investment style should guide the structure — not the other way around.
2. Choose the Right Brand with a Proven Company-Operated Model
Not all franchise brands operate equally. Some expect you to run the outlet; others — like the brands we work with — handle it entirely themselves.
What you want:
- Brands with successful existing outlets and replicable SOPs
- Full-stack company-operated model (staffing, sourcing, training, operations)
- Transparent communication, regular reporting, and investor-aligned incentives
This is where BBFT steps in. We’ve vetted dozens of F&B concepts to shortlist only those with long-term, scalable, investor-friendly systems.
3. Understand the Commercial Structure Clearly
Numbers don’t lie — but sometimes they get buried in brochures. We make sure you know:
- – The full CapEx breakdown (setup cost, brand fees, interiors)
- – ROI structure (monthly returns, revenue share percentages, payouts)
- – Breakeven timelines and long-term yield potential
- – Exit options — resale, transfer, or brand-led buyback
- You’re not just investing in a store. You’re building a yield-generating asset with predictable cash flows.
4. Secure the Right Location — or Let the Brand Do It
In F&B, real estate matters — a lot. But that doesn’t mean you have to scout malls or negotiate leases yourself.
Many brands take the lead, identifying, vetting, and finalizing sites based on footfall, rental viability, and brand fit. Whether you have a space in mind or need help finding one, you should ensure that the economics work — not just the aesthetics.
5. Let the Brand Launch, Operate & Scale
Once the paperwork’s done and the funds are deployed, the brand takes over:
- Store design and buildout
- Hiring and training of staff
- Daily operations, inventory, vendor management, quality control
- P&L management and return disbursement
You stay informed, not involved. Regular reporting ensures visibility — and peace of mind.
Final Thought: You Own the Asset; They Run the Business.
Franchising isn’t what it used to be. With today’s investor-first models, you can own high-performing food outlets without managing staff, chasing vendors, or worrying about day-to-day execution.
