The Belgian Waffle Xpress \u00b7 FAQ
How much profit does a waffle franchise make per month?
Answer
A real TBWX Tricity outlet baseline earns about Rs 1.25-1.3 Lakh net profit per month on Rs 5 Lakh monthly revenue from month 4 onwards. Most partners run profitable outlets; breakeven in 8-14 months.
A real TBWX (The Belgian Waffle Xpress) Tricity outlet baseline, month 4 onwards: about Rs 1.25-1.3 Lakh in net monthly profit on Rs 5 Lakh in monthly revenue. That is profit after rent (Rs 35K, small format), staff (Rs 35K), utilities (Rs 8K), the 5% royalty (Rs 25K) and food costs. Gross margins run ~30% on online orders (after food, packaging, ads and commission) and ~70% offline (after food and packaging). Results vary by city, format and owner involvement.
Where an outlet lands depends on three levers: rent (keep it under 12% of expected monthly revenue), format (cloud kitchen, kiosk, takeaway or cafe), and delivery mix on Zomato and Swiggy.
The ramp matters too. Outlets do not start at mature numbers — most TBWX partners reach operating breakeven in 8-14 months.
Across the network of 39 outlets in 30 cities and 14 states, most TBWX partners run profitable outlets — a published figure based on internal partner data, not a projection.
