Starting a Saiba Amruttulya outlet is more than opening a shop — it’s embracing a legacy of flavour, wellness, and community trust. This guide is crafted to help you maximise returns with an investment of ₹6,00,000, by planning well, launching smartly, and building sustainable growth.

Phase 0: Initial Planning Before Day -30

Although the official 90-day period begins at launch, successful franchises prepare even earlier.

What to nail down before Day -30:

Franchise Agreement & Cost Breakdown:
Make sure you have clarity on what the ₹6 lakhs includes — franchising fee, interior & furniture, equipment, raw materials, branding, initial staff cost, licenses, etc. Identify what you’ll need to spend vs what the franchisor supplies.

Market Research & Competitive Survey:
Study local demand, footfall areas, competitor tea/health-beverage outlets. What are their pricing, menu variety, promotions? What gaps exist (e.g. health-oriented tea, quick service)?

Location Scouting & Lease Pre-Negotiation:
For ₹6 lakhs, you’ll likely be doing a smaller format shop, kiosk, or stall. Target 250-350 sq. ft in a high-visibility, high footfall area such as near colleges, transit hubs, business districts, or markets. Negotiate rent, utility deposits, and favorable lease terms (long enough tenure, options to renew) to manage cost stresses.

Licenses, Permits & Compliance:
Ensure you know all statutory requirements: FSSAI, GST, local health permits, shop & establishment license, fire-safety / NOC, trade license. Depending on city & size, costs vary—budget for them early.

Branding, Interior & Equipment Planning:
Choose a modest, functional interior design that conveys the brand’s wellness / tea heritage but doesn’t overspend. Equipment should be efficient but cost-effective: tea brewers, grinders (if needed), storage, point-of-sale (POS), etc.

Supply Chain & Raw Materials Sourcing:
With health or specialty teas, quality matters. Establish agreements with suppliers; check for consistency, quality, cost. Plan minimal safety stock.

Recruiting Core Team & Training Plan:
Since the investment is moderate, core staff will need multi-tasking. Hire for attitude, train for skill. Franchisor should help with standardised operating procedures (SOP), recipe consistency, customer service.

Phase 1: Pre-Launch (Day -30 to Day 0)

These 30 days are about bringing the plan into reality and making sure everything functions as it should.

Task                                                        What to Do                                                             Expected Outcome

 Finalise lease  &  hygiene setup         Interiors, furniture, signage, lighting,   A clean, inviting, operational outlet ready to receive first customers space work power, water,

Branding & communication prep  Logo signage, menu boards, digital presence  Local visibility starts building; store identity looks polished (Google Business, social media), promotional materials (flyers, banners)

soft launch / trial opening  Invite friends, family, neighbours; serve limited menu first; collect feedback Identify bottlenecks, adjust timing, menu tweaks, customer experience refined

                      Phase 2: Grand Opening & Week One (Day 1 to Day 7)

These are your “make-or-break” days in terms of first impression, gathering attention, and starting momentum.

Grand Launch Planning:
Plan a ceremonial opening or event that draws initial customers. Use opening offers, free tastings of signature teas, combo discounts. Emphasize wellness / speciality aspect if that’s part of your brand.

Local Marketing Blitz:

Offline: Distribute flyers, collaborate with nearby businesses, banners/local newspaper ads.

Online: Social media announcements, geo-tagging, local influencer tie-ups, present store pictures, countdown posts.

Customer Experience Focus:
First impressions matter. Ensure greeting, hygiene, taste, speed of service, ambience are all on point. Show brand story — customers love knowing you’re about more than just tea.

Feedback Capture & Quick Adjustments:
Use QR surveys, talk to customers directly. If a menu item is getting low feedback, adjust it. If staff flow is slow, re-optimize. Be agile.

Don’t Expect Big Profits Immediately:
The first week (or even month) might not be highly profitable. The aim is customer awareness, repeat business, reviews. Treat this as marketing investment.

Phase 3: Growing Momentum & Sustaining Growth (Day 8 to Day 90)

After the initial excitement, the goal is to convert initial customers into regulars and stabilize operations.

Key Focus Areas:

Consistency & Quality Control
 - Daily checks on taste, service, presentation.
 - Ensure inventory is well managed to avoid stockouts or spoilage.

Staff Training & Culture Building
 - Regular short refresher training.
 - Recognize high performers. Encourage teamwork.

Customer Retention & Loyalty
 - Simple loyalty program: e.g., buy 9 teas get the 10th free, or special discounts for regulars.
 - Personalisation: staff remembering regulars, suggestions, specialty items.

Review & Feedback Loop
 - Monitor online reviews and ratings; respond courteously.
 - Use customer feedback to refine menu, service, ambience.

Cost Control & Financial Monitoring
 - Keep tight control on variable costs (ingredients, overtime, utilities).
 - Track daily sales. Understand what sells best and what doesn’t — drop or adjust slow items.
 - Monitor break-even; aim to recover major parts of investment (interior + branding etc.) within first 9-12 months.

Marketing & Community Engagement
 - Engage local community: host events (tea tasting, wellness talks), partner with yoga studios, health stores if relevant.
 - Use social media to highlight stories: sourcing of teas, health benefits, staff stories.

Return on Investment with ₹6 Lakhs: What’s Realistic?

With ₹6,00,000 investment, here’s what you might aim for, given good execution and average footfall:

Metric                                                Estimate/Assumption                                                                                                                                                                                        What You Might Achieve

Monthly Fixed Costs (rent, salaries, utilities, supplies)                           ₹50,000-₹90,000 depending on city,location size                          

Cost control is vital.                                                                                                                                                                                               

Average Sale per Customer                 ₹20-₹50 (depending on menu)  With 100-150 customers/day,         

you could see ₹60,000-₹300,000 in daily  sales potential.

Revenue in First 3 Months                  Modest—building up from Day 1                                                                     

Possibly ₹2,50,000 to ₹5,00,000 in 3 months(gross), depending on location & pricing.

Break-Even Point                            Probably 9-12 months if well managed                                     

After recovering initial investment + fixed costs, profits may begin.

Tips to Maximize ROI

Lean menu: Fewer SKUs means less investment in ingredients, less wastage, faster service.

High margin items: Promote items with good margin (e.g. signature teas, add-ons) rather than low profit ones.

Upselling & bundling: Tea + snack combos; limited time offers.

Waste reduction: Track sales patterns, stock smartly.

Use digital tools: Analytics via POS, social media ads with geo-targeting are cost-efficient.
