- Ask for the royalty and any marketing-fund fee, and how they're calculated (on sales or profit).

What Frankfinn Institute Says You Can Earn
Brand claimFrankfinn Institute's own claim ā no evidence given. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.
- Annual return on investmentYearly profit as a share of the total investment.
- 55% ā 70%
- Operating break-evenMonths until monthly profit turns positive ā not the same as getting your money back.
- 12 months ā 18 months
Frankfinn's page shows 'Expected ROI*' of 55-70% a year (55-65% in tier-1/tier-2, 60-70% in metros) and a 12-18 month 'Break-Even Period*'. It publishes no sample size, outlet P&L or definition of the asterisk. Treat as the brand's projection.
