Five items. One 100 sq ft counter.
chai + Maggi + idli + cold coffee + hot coffee — not a lounge menu, not a samosa line. Each SKU has a day-part so the kiosk earns from 6am through close.
All day · ₹15 a cup
Very Tasty Chai
Cardamom, ginger, milk. The twice-a-day cup that pays the rent.
11am–evening · ticket size
Maggi
College and coaching bill-lifter. Portion SOPs, no chef, same 100 sq ft.
Morning · breakfast attach
Idli
Steam, coconut chutney, sambar. No tandoor. No samosa line.
Afternoon–night · summer SKU
Cold coffee
Iced coffee and shakes so heat is not a dead season on the same kiosk.
Morning & monsoon · second hot cup
Hot coffee
Filter-style hot coffee next to chai for offices and winter mornings.
When each SKU actually sells
Frequency from chai. Breakfast from idli and hot coffee. Ticket size from Maggi. Heat from cold coffee. Screening still vetoes sites where rent eats that mix.
11am–4pm
Maggi + chai + hot coffee
College, coaching and lunch-adjacent queues.
4pm–close
Cold coffee + chai + Maggi
Heat, evening chai, and a second Maggi ticket.
Very Tasty Chai
Very Tasty Chai is the default milk tea on the board — not a café tasting flight. SOP brew and premix keep the cup the same when the helper changes shift. At ₹15 it stays a station and college price, with 40–50% product margin when portions stay tight.
Maggi
Chai brings frequency. Maggi raises average bill when students and coaching crowds sit for 15–20 minutes. A kettle and a burner — not a hotel kitchen. 1-day training covers masala, butter and costing so the line does not eat the margin.
Idli
Idli is the breakfast window: offices, hospitals and coaching gates before Maggi takes noon. Steam, chutney and sambar fit ~100 sq ft if you follow the SOP — not a tiffin kitchen. Screening says if your site is chai + Maggi only.
Cold coffee
When the thermometer climbs, milk tea still sells — but cold coffee and shakes keep the queue from thinning. Same ₹2 lakh counter, same 1-day training. Premix sachets also ship pan-India if you want the taste without a kiosk.
Hot coffee
Not everyone wants milk tea at 8am. Hot coffee sits beside Very Tasty Chai so office gates and monsoon days still convert. SOP milk-coffee, no barista machine, no extra rent. Trained on the same day as chai, Maggi and idli.
Taste first · Jabalpur HQ
chai + Maggi + idli + cold coffee + hot coffee — with a board people trust
Maa Ki Chai is named for the cup you grew up with: cardamom, ginger, milk, no drama. The kiosk is chef-less on purpose. Very Tasty Chai pays the rent with twice-a-day cups. Maggi lifts the bill at colleges. Idli owns the morning steam window. Hot coffee sits next to chai for offices and monsoon. Cold coffee keeps the queue when the heat hits.
Jaggery chai premix stays the shop/special pack you can order without a kiosk. The franchise counter is built around those five daily SKUs — not a café tasting flight, and not a fried-snack line.
We already map outlets in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Prayagraj and Bengaluru Koppa. Other cities are not fake cafe counts — they are territory applications after a real site check.

Chai franchise FAQs
What is the minimum investment for a Maa Ki Chai franchise?
The one-time franchise fee is ₹2 lakh for a ~100 sq ft kiosk, plus working capital for rent, milk and the first month. High-traffic pitches may use a ₹2.25 lakh plan.
Is there any royalty?
No monthly royalty. You pay once and keep 100% of profits after rent, staff and raw material.
What monthly profit should I expect?
Product margin on core chai is 40–50%. Partners typically land between ₹20,000 and ₹1,00,000 a month depending on cups per day and rent. Use the profit calculator with your numbers.
How much space is required?
About 100 sq ft for the standard kiosk. 150–200 sq ft for busier premium pitches.
Do you train people with no food background?
Yes. 1-day SOP training covers recipes, hygiene, billing and costing. No chef is required.
How fast can I open?
After agreement and payment, setup is typically 10 days including branding, equipment and opening stock. Training is one intensive day.
What five items does the kiosk sell?
The daily board is chai + Maggi + idli + cold coffee + hot coffee. Very Tasty Chai is ₹15. Jaggery chai premix stays on the shop for home and bulk orders — it is not a sixth hero SKU on the counter.
Do I need a chef for Maggi, idli and coffee?
No. 1-day SOP training covers brew, Maggi portions, idli steam, hot coffee and cold coffee. One helper at peaks is enough on a ~100 sq ft kiosk.
Where do you already operate?
Mapped outlets include Jabalpur, Seoni, Mandla, Chhindwara, Narsinghpur, Dindori, Indore, Raipur, Prayagraj and Bengaluru (Koppa). Other cities can apply for territory.
Can I only sell premix, without a kiosk?
Yes. Jaggery chai and cold-coffee packs are on the shop. Order on WhatsApp for pan-India delivery.
