The cost of acquiring a Haldiram franchise varies depending on the format—whether it’s a kiosk, quick service restaurant (QSR), or a full-fledged casual dining setup. On average, the initial investment ranges from ₹30 lakhs to ₹1 crore. This includes franchise fees, interior setup, equipment, staffing, and working capital. Larger outlets in metropolitan areas may require a higher investment due to premium real estate and operational costs. Additionally, franchisees are expected to pay ongoing royalty fees and may also need to contribute to brand marketing.
