Waffle Franchise Cost in India: Start Your TBWX Outlet for ₹4.5–7.5 Lakh All-In
Full investment breakdown for a waffle franchise in India: brand-vs-brand cost comparison, the running costs to plan for, and the four format options we run today. Built from how operators ask the question, not from a glossy brochure.
How Much Does a Waffle Franchise Cost in India?
Format drives the number. Same brand, same training, same SOPs, but the cloud kitchen, kiosk, takeaway, and cafe models each have their own fit-out. Every format includes the franchise fee (₹2.5 Lakh + GST), equipment (market purchase allowed), initial raw material, billing POS software, and a utensils & packaging kit. Branding, signage and interior are what vary, which is why the all-in cost is a range: ₹4.5–7.5 Lakh, depending on format.
