Is the Rs. 3,99,000 franchise fee refundable?

No. As per the franchise agreement, all payments are non-refundable. This is standard practice in the franchise industry. We recommend completing a thorough location feasibility discussion with our team before making the payment.

How does Rs. 6 to 7 lakhs compare with other food franchises in India?

Most established QSR and food franchise brands in India require Rs. 15 to 50 lakhs in total investment plus monthly royalties of 4 to 8 percent on revenue. Cheese Corner's all-inclusive Rs. 6 to 7 lakh investment with zero royalty makes it one of the strongest value propositions in the Indian food franchise market today.

Are there any ongoing monthly charges after setup?

Can the interior cost be reduced below Rs. 2.5 lakhs?

Yes. Cheese Corner gives complete creative freedom on interior and furniture. Franchisees who use cost-effective design approaches, local vendors or compact setups have brought their interior spend below Rs. 2 lakhs. The Rs. 2.5L to 3.5L range is an estimate based on standard setups.

What is the booking amount to get started?

The booking amount is Rs. 51,000 paid to ZORKO Limited at Kotak Bank. This secures your franchise spot and initiates onboarding. Within 30 days or once your shop is finalized, Rs. 1,00,000 is paid as the next installment. The remaining balance is settled 15 days before your opening date.

How quickly can I expect to recover my investment?

Based on operational data from existing Cheese Corner outlets, franchise partners in moderate footfall locations typically recover their full investment within 12 to 18 months. High footfall locations like malls, college areas and busy street markets have seen payback periods as short as 8 to 12 months. The zero royalty model accelerates this significantly compared to traditional franchises.
