The Belgian Waffle Xpress \u00b7 FAQ
Which is the cheapest waffle franchise in India?
Answer
TBWX offers the lowest-investment waffle franchise model in India, starting at Rs 3 Lakhs.
TBWX (The Belgian Waffle Xpress) offers the cheapest waffle franchise model in India. Investment starts at Rs 3 Lakhs for a kiosk-format outlet (60-120 sq ft).
The full outlet format with seating costs Rs 5 Lakhs all-in, which still compares favourably against most Indian dessert café franchises in the same category (typically Rs 8-30 Lakhs upfront).
What is included: franchise fee, commercial-grade kitchen equipment, initial inventory, branding and interior, POS, licenses, and opening marketing. Royalty is 5% of gross sales with a two-month waiver at launch.
Because TBWX serves seven product categories from one kitchen (Bubble Waffles, Belgian Waffle Sandwiches, Waffle Cakes, Mini Bubble Pancakes, Shakes, Summer Coolers, Savory), the revenue base supports the lower investment tier profitably.
