About This Listing
Warning, Oct 2026: CakeRMon's franchise page claims '150+ stores running' and its About page '120+ outlets by 2025', but its own store locator lists 17 open stores and 4 upcoming. The partner margin, contract term and exit terms are not published, and the CakeRMon trademarks are held by director Birendra Agarwal personally, not by the franchisor company.

Ask before you sign
- Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
- Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
- Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.
