 In the world of franchising, food continues to rule the roost. Some of the oldest and the largest franchise based businesses in the world today are food franchises. While setting up a food franchise is a herculean task but if done well it is one of the most lucrative opportunities not just for the brand owner but also for a franchise outlet owner.  If you are looking to take a food franchise opportunity you should go through the list of food franchises and evaluate them objectively before signing up with one. The analysis should be based on calculating the return on investment on the capital and the monthly recurring expenses.

 Let’s take a look at the list of  food franchise in India. Please note that this food franchise list is in no particular order of relevance.

 If you have large capital at disposal to take up a master franchise then you should look into International brands which are looking to either enter or scale their business in India. Below is a list of some of the food franchise brands which fall in these categories are:

 1. Taco Bell

2. Papa Johns

3. The Crepe Cafe

4. Belgian Waffles

5. Sbarro

 You can also look at taking master franchise rights for upcoming Indian brands which have done very well.

1. Moti Mahal

2. Wow Momo

3. Petoo

4. Sagar Ratna

5. Pind Balluchi

 A franchise opportunity for a quick service restaurant (QSR) is one of the better options for a new franchise owner,  as it requires lower capital investment when compared to a fine dine or a casual dining restaurant (CDR). A QSR is also attractive to youth leading to higher footfall and volume of sales. Some of the top QSR franchise lists in India are:

1. Petoo

2. Chai Garam and other tea brands

3. 5 star chicken

4. Naturals ice cream

5. US Pizza and fried chicken

After our analysis of the food franchises, we came up with a list of food franchises which require the least setup capital and have very light recurring operational costs. This is a very good feature for a franchise brand as it enables a franchise owner to have multiple outlets at the cost of opening one. Having more than one  outlet not just adds a lot of efficiency in managing and rotating the team but also enables the owner to spread out the risks and recruit a good team to manage the outlets.

One of the most common questions we hear by aspiring food retail entrepreneurs trying to enter a franchise business is "which food franchise is best in India"? While there are multiple food franchise brands it is often difficult to judge who should you invest your time and money with?

The most important point for consideration is the capital you have earmarked for investing in the business. You must ensure that the capital should cover :

1. The cost of setting up the business (assets, brand fee etc)

2. The operating cost of the business for at least 4-6 months

3. Some funds earmarked for marketing and promotions

There are food franchises available in India which cost anywhere from a few lakhs to few crores in setting up the business. Your decision on choosing the franchise partner should depend only on the food franchise brand's ability to generate profits for you. So for example even if you can spend 1 Crore in the business you should evaluate whether it makes sense for you to open a single outlet for a food franchise which costs up to a Crore or you should open 4 outlets of a brand which costs around 20 Lakh per outlet. Opening up multiple outlets of a food franchise brand makes sense as it helps in optimizing cost and distributing risk over multiple locations. For example you could hire a senior operations manager to oversee the operations on your behalf while you focus on marketing to grow the sales. It is quite well known that location plays a crucial role in deciding the fate of an outlet. Opening multiple outlets ensures that the risk due to the viability of a location is distributed. So it is recommended that franchise enthusiasts should open multiple outlets of a brand.

In low cost franchise models currently doing well in India, an upcoming brand Petoo is one of the best food franchise options available. The cost of a Petoo's franchise outlet starts from as low as 7 Lakh and goes up based on the size of the outlet.  Don't however be fooled by the low investment as this is one of the most cool brands you will come across. The low investment in setting up an outlet is due to the efficient food production and cooking process developed by Petoo which ensures that the outlet kitchen does not require any heavy equipment. Another benefit of this efficient food production process is that most of the cooking happens centrally at factory-scale kitchens and hence the number of cooking staff required in an outlet is low. Despite the tiny kitchens inside the outlets, Petoo's menu consists of fantastic offerings in light and heavy eats. In a short period of 1 year Petoo is now present in 10+ Indian cities serving thousands of customers everyday. Petoo undoubtedly is one of the best food franchise brands in India today. If one is looking to run a professionally run food franchise brand do look at what Petoo has on offer.
