What to ask Baskin Robbins (or any franchisor)
Get the same data points directly from any brand you compare: total investment including deposits, equipment and cold-chain setup; franchise fee and royalty structure, including any marketing fund; average monthly revenue of a typical outlet, with proof; gross margin after input costs and wastage; how seasonality affects monthly cash flow; time to breakeven for recent franchisees; and contact details of 2-3 existing partners you can call. A good franchisor answers all of these in writing. We don't quote other brands' numbers here — they aren't ours to publish.
Choosing between the two categories
A global brand brings recognition from day one; a growing brand like TBWX brings a lower published entry point and early-mover territory in Tier-2/3 cities. Neither is automatically better — compare the documented numbers each brand gives you, visit running outlets of both, and pick the one whose math works in your city.
