Mr. Anoop,
The plan which you have set is perfect and strategic. The only advise you need is the legal aspects.
You have to register your firm or company as a food chain enterprise. Then you have to pass through the checking process and the inspection process.
Once you are done with this, you can easily run the business. The advertising is the second part to take care of.

Hi Scott,

I have been going through your valuable advices to many of the aspirants. Great!

I am planning to start a chain of “Eateries” in South India which would serve quality snacks and soft drinks. I would first like to start with one and then expand into few numbers in the near future. I have planned the itmes/menu that would would be served and have also decided the price factor. Please advise me what are all the procedures to start this business in India like the license part, certificates etc required for this.

Also please help me with a model business plan so that I can work out the cash flow. The investment what I will be looking at is 3-5 lakhs intially.

Please let me know your opinon and advise me in this regard.

Thanks in advance!

Mr. Mohit,
What are you talking about is covered by social and cultural factors. Even geographical factors affect the decision.
To decide, what to start, you need to specify your location.
If you are in Gujarat and some big town then the decision may defer and the sameway with the other states.
So better think a bit and ask a question yourself only. If you want to do some thing, you need to take some efforts of thinking and you need to analyse the place.
Thank you.
