Is there a royalty on a Maa Ki Chai franchise?
No. Maa Ki Chai charges zero royalty. You pay once and keep the profit after rent, staff and raw material.
There is no monthly brand fee and no profit share on the kiosk. Operating costs — rent, milk, gas and wages — are yours.
How much space does a Maa Ki Chai kiosk need?
A kiosk needs 75+ sq ft, with water and power, at a legal pitch.
The counter is built for stations, colleges, markets and chowks. Screening can veto a site when the rent does not fit the cup count. Larger campus and food-court cafés use the separate institutional plan.
How long is the payback on a Maa Ki Chai kiosk?
Typical payback is 4–9 months, depending on footfall and rent.
Core chai margin is 40–50% when portions stay on the SOP. Monthly profit on a busy kiosk is often cited between ₹20,000 and ₹1,00,000. Use the profit calculator with your own rent and cup count. This is not a guaranteed return.
What is included in the Maa Ki Chai kiosk fee?
The fee covers the kiosk setup: equipment, branding, opening stock, 1-day training and launch support.
- Tea boiler, induction or gas, prep tables and utensils
- Branded signage and opening stock
- 1-day training for Very Tasty Chai, idli, cold coffee and hot coffee
- Setup in about 10 days after the agreement
