Questions, answered

What does a café consultant do?

A café consultant plans the concept, menu, layout, equipment and team, and helps you open and run the café well.

How much does it cost to open a café in India?

It depends on the city, size and fit-out. Our free café budget calculator gives you a starting estimate.

Can I open a café on a low budget?

Yes. We start with a short menu and the equipment it truly needs, so the setup cost stays low.

Do you work outside Mumbai?

Yes. We work across India and abroad, from metro cafés to hill-town cafés.
