Ongoing cost: revenue share, not a flat royalty
- Model 1 5% We build it, you run it. We set up the outlet, hire and train the staff, and hand over a running kitchen. You handle day-to-day operations from there. Best for franchisees who want to be hands-on.
- Model 2 10% We build it, we run it for you. Everything in Model 1, plus we run the outlet day-to-day on your behalf. You are a genuine investor-owner, not an operator — an income-generating asset without leaving your existing job.
The real numbers
We show actual data rather than a single projected figure. On actual Siwan outlet data, 1–12 August 2026, the first outlet runs at ~₹9,100/day dine-in and about ~₹18,200/day (dine-in + online) — roughly ~₹5.46 lakh/month. Food cost is ~35%. These are actual figures from a 12-day sample at the first outlet, not a promise of returns. Net profit is what remains after food cost (~35%), operating costs and the franchise royalty (5% or 10%).
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
An outlet is approximately ₹18–20 lakh, including a ₹7 lakh franchise fee. That covers build-out, kitchen setup and equipment, furniture, branding, staff hiring and training, and operating systems, in 250–300 sq ft (150–200 sq ft kitchen).

Yes — a Burger Nation outlet is approximately ₹18–20 lakh, so it sits at or just under that mark. A larger shop raises the cost, mostly in furniture and fixtures.
What is the franchise fee?
The franchise fee is ₹7 lakh. It is one part of the total investment; the remainder covers the outlet build-out, kitchen equipment and furniture. The agreement term is 5 years.
What ongoing fees are there?
A revenue share instead of a flat royalty: 5% if we build the outlet and you run it, or 10% if we build it and run it for you. There are no separate hidden royalties — the revenue share is the ongoing fee.
