Investor Questions
Franchise questions, answered
- How much does it cost to franchise an Adela's brand?
- Boston Waffles & Coffee requires an investment of $6,000 to $25,000 USD. Boston Brews Kompany starts from $50,000 USD. A full cost breakdown for your format and city is discussed during the enquiry process.
- Is the royalty charged on gross sales or net sales?
- Royalty terms — including whether royalty is charged on gross or net sales — are discussed during the enquiry process. Adela's Restaurant Group does not publish royalty rates on this website. Both bases exist in the market, and the difference is worth real money: 5% of gross sales and 5% of a defined "net" can differ by a third — which is why the definition matters more than the percentage. In the FOCO model, the company operates the store — that is the model's whole point — while ownership and the asset stay with the franchisee. Royalty definitions, worked both ways: /tools/royalty-calculator
- What is the difference between FOCO and FOFO?
- FOFO (franchise-owned, franchise-operated) means the franchise partner invests in and runs the outlet. FOCO (franchise-owned, company-operated) means the partner invests while the brand's team operates the outlet. FOCO is the founding model for Boston Waffles & Coffee in India; commercial terms — fees, royalty structure and return structure — are confirmed during the enquiry process.
- How much space do I need?
- How much space is needed for a cafe franchise depends on the format: Boston Waffles & Coffee has four store formats, from a 200–300 sq ft Micro Kiosk to an 800–1,000 sq ft Flagship Café. Boston Brews Kompany publishes one format at 1,000 sq ft with 30 seats. Space requirements for each location are discussed during the enquiry process.
- What support do franchise partners receive?
- As for the support a franchisor provides, franchise partners receive six areas of support: Brand & Identity, Menu & Recipes, Training, Supply Chain, Marketing Support, and Ongoing Support.
- When do the brands launch in India?
- Boston Waffles & Coffee is coming to India in 2027. Boston Brews Kompany is not yet launched and has a 2027 launch target. No Adela's locations are open yet.
- How do I start?
- To get a cafe franchise in India with us, submit the Franchise Enquiry form on this page — enquiries are handled through the franchise enquiry form on this site. Every enquiry is reviewed personally, with a response within 48 hours. The full due-diligence sequence: /insights/how-to-choose-a-franchise-in-india
- What is a franchise fee?
- A franchise fee is the one-time payment a franchisee makes to a franchisor for the right to open under the brand — the licence, the format, the training and the launch system. It is separate from your fit-out cost and from royalty. What it includes varies sharply by brand, which is why the inclusion list matters more than the number. Our guide breaks the full cost picture down by cost head: /insights/coffee-shop-franchise-cost-in-india
- What is franchise royalty?
- Franchise royalty is the ongoing percentage a franchisee pays the franchisor, usually calculated on sales and paid monthly. The percentage is only half the story — the definition of the sales base it applies to decides what you actually pay. Read any royalty clause by its base first: /insights/franchise-royalty-explained-gross-vs-net
- What is the difference between franchise and dealership?
- The difference between franchise and dealership is what you are buying. A dealership buys the right to sell a company's products, with limited say from the brand over how the outlet runs. A franchise buys a complete operating system — brand, format, menu, training, supply chain and standards — and agrees to run it the brand's way. Franchise = a business format; dealership = a distribution right.
- What is FOFO model in franchise?
- FOFO means Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated: you own the outlet and you run it day to day — hiring, service, local costs and results are yours, inside the brand's system. It suits hands-on operators. Its counterpart is FOCO, where the company operates the store you own. The fit between the two is a working-style question before it is a money question: /tools/foco-vs-fofo-fit-check
- What is a master franchise?
- A master franchise is an agreement where one partner holds the rights to develop a brand across a whole territory — a country or region — recruiting and supporting unit franchisees inside it, under the franchisor's standards. Adela's Restaurant Group works this way in Asia: our master franchise partner, Babayagas Craftbeer Pvt Ltd, is based in Kharghar, India, and India enquiries are reviewed together with them.
- What does a master franchise mean in India specifically?
- The master franchise India meaning is practical: an international brand rarely builds an Indian support structure from zero, so a master partner carries local execution — site work, licensing navigation, supply chains and franchisee support — while the brand owner keeps standards and product. When you evaluate a foreign brand in India, ask who the master partner is and what they actually do on the ground.
- What is FOCO franchise model?
- FOCO means Franchise Owned, Company Operated: you invest in and own the outlet; the brand's company runs it — staff, operations, quality and reporting — and you receive the owner's share of the result. Boston Waffles & Coffee launches in India on the FOCO model as its founding model: /insights/foco-franchise-model-explained
- What do COCO, FOFO and FOCO stand for?
- The full forms: COCO = Company Owned, Company Operated (the brand's own stores). FOFO = Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated (you own it, you run it). FOCO = Franchise Owned, Company Operated (you own it, the company runs it). The second word is the one that decides your working life — ownership is the easy part: /insights/foco-vs-fofo
- What FSSAI licence does a cafe franchise need?
- Every food outlet in India needs FSSAI food-safety licensing — a State licence or Central licence depending on the scale and reach of the operation — alongside local trade and fire clearances. Licence costs sit inside the pre-opening cost heads in our cost guide, where both published ranges are shown with their sources rather than merged: /insights/coffee-shop-franchise-cost-in-india
- What is the profit margin in a cafe franchise?
- There is no honest single number. Margin depends on format, rent, city and how the brand defines its charges — and any franchisor quoting you one margin figure for every location is selling, not informing. What you can do is test the arithmetic yourself: build the cost heads, apply the royalty definition, and see what has to be true for the store to pay back: /insights/cafe-franchise-margins-and-payback
- How much is a franchise fee in India?
- Across the Indian café brands we compared from their own published pages, franchise fees run from ₹2.5 lakh for kiosk brands to ₹12 lakh at the established end — always check what the fee includes before comparing. Boston Waffles & Coffee publishes its entry range in US dollars, US$6,000–$25,000 across its four formats; the exact figure for your format is confirmed during the enquiry process. Comparison: /insights/best-low-investment-food-franchises-in-india
- What is the payback period for a cafe franchise?
- Payback period is your total opening investment divided by the monthly net the store actually produces — which means it is an output of your rent, your city and your ramp, never a number a brand can promise in advance. Run your own figures, including a slow first quarter: /tools/payback-calculator. How brands make payback look shorter than it is: /insights/cafe-franchise-margins-and-payback
- Do I need experience to own a cafe franchise?
- Not under every model. Under FOFO you are the operator, so experience — yours or a hired manager's — matters daily. Under FOCO, the company operates the store, which is precisely the model designed for investors without an F&B background. What you need in both cases is capital headroom and the patience to follow a system: /tools/foco-vs-fofo-fit-check
