Typical monthly fixed costs in Ahmedabad: Rent (Rs 15-60K depending on area), Staff (Rs 25-50K for 2-3 people), Utilities (Rs 8-15K), Aggregator commissions on Zomato/Swiggy (~25% of delivery revenue), Packaging + supplies (Rs 20-40K).

Most other dessert or ice cream franchises in Ahmedabad start at Rs 15-30 lakhs (ice cream chains), Rs 25L+ (bakery), or Rs 50L+ (premium dessert parlors). TBWX was deliberately built at Rs 3L entry specifically to make ownership accessible to first-time operators. There are cheaper street-level options but none with a protected territory, training, and delivery-platform support.
Most Ahmedabad TBWX partners hit operational break-even (monthly revenue covers monthly costs) by month 3-4. Full investment payback typically happens in 10-14 months. 94% of our 25+ outlet partners have achieved profitability within their first year, the low entry cost is the key reason.
Biggest surprises for first-timers in Ahmedabad: (1) Municipal trade license + FSSAI fees (Rs 15-30K, varies by city), (2) Interior work overruns if the landlord's space needs significant modification, (3) Monsoon-season footfall drops affecting cash flow, (4) Zomato/Swiggy onboarding can take 2-3 weeks. We help anticipate all of these during planning.

If you decide not to proceed after visiting an existing outlet or reviewing the business plan, the fee is refunded in full. Zero risk to start the conversation.
