Numbers that separate them on a 5-year horizon — not the dealer-pitch summary.
One-time franchise fees are worth noting: Crumbl charges ₹50,000 upfront on top of the setup capex. This is a non-refundable sunk cost before revenue begins — bake it into your at-risk capital calculation.
Crumbl charges 8% royalty on revenue — recurring, uncapped, and deducted before your own margin is calculated. Factor it into every pro-forma.

FRANticc's database lists 2 brands matching this comparison with verified investment data, store counts, and format details. Several more are covered across our full directory. Every data point cites its public source.
Most Indian Sandwiches / QSR franchises pay the operator via product-margin on supply (cost-to-MRP spread) rather than explicit revenue share. Brands with 0% royalty usually recoup their cut inside supply pricing. Brands with stated royalty (commonly 3–10%) take it on top of product margin. Calculate effective take-home on both structures before you sign.
Typical break-even on a Sandwiches / QSR franchise in India is 24–42 months, depending on location traffic, format size, and whether the brand charges recurring royalty. The brands on this page range from ₹2.1 L upward in capex; pair that with your expected monthly contribution margin to estimate your own payback. FRANticc's per-industry calculators (petroleum, auto, ATM) model this explicitly.
The lowest-investment option here is Quiznos starting from ₹2.1 L. Remember this is the brand's minimum capex — your actual outlay includes a refundable security deposit, rent deposit (1–6 months), and working capital.
