Why TBWX can operate at Rs 3L entry
Three reasons: (1) Commercial-grade Belgian waffle iron costs Rs 50K-1L — much less than QSR grills (Rs 5L+) or ice cream machines (Rs 8L+). (2) Raw ingredients are flour, eggs, dairy — not premium meats or imported items. (3) Made-to-order means zero inventory wastage. Combined, the ops cost structure allows an Rs 3L entry point without compromising brand or margin.
Is a Rs 3L food franchise actually viable?
Yes, at TBWX's unit economics. A Tier-2/3 city kiosk at Rs 3L invested typically generates Rs 1.5-3L monthly revenue at 60-65% gross margin. Monthly net after all costs: Rs 25K-60K. Payback in 8-14 months. 94% of our 29 partners hit profitability in year one. Sub-lakh 'food franchises' often are scam or fraud — Rs 3L at TBWX is proven and documented.
