Maa Ki Chai combines low entry cost, award-style taste positioning, and a zero royalty contract so new partners can enter without a large café build.
What is the minimum investment?
The kiosk is about ₹1.7 lakh through 9 November 2026, for a 75+ sq ft counter with zero royalty. Typical payback is 4–9 months. Working capital is extra.
Is there royalty?
No. Maa Ki Chai is a zero royalty chai franchise. You pay a one-time fee and keep 100% of profits.
How much space is needed?
The kiosk needs 75+ sq ft. Campus and food-court cafés use the separate institutional plan.
How fast is setup?
After agreement and payment, setup typically takes 10 days including branding, equipment and launch support. Training is one intensive day.
What is included in the ₹1.7 lakh kiosk menu?
The Standard Kiosk Plan menu is chai + idli + cold coffee + hot coffee. Very Tasty Chai starts at ₹15. Jaggery chai premix is the shop/special pack, not a fifth hero SKU on the counter.
Is there a campus, mall or office café plan besides the kiosk?
Yes. The Complete Campus/Institutional Café Outlet Plan is ₹5,00,000 All-Inclusive with GST Included. Transportation, installation and standard setup are included. There is no royalty or profit sharing.
