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.
- Get a written, itemised cost breakdown — the brand hasn't published one.
- Ask for the one-time franchise fee in writing, and whether any part is refundable.

Our Estimates
FranchiseChuno estimateGati doesn't publish these, so here is our best read of the market and how we got there. They are our estimates, not the brand's figures — use them to plan, then confirm the real numbers in writing.
Set-up cost of a Gati booking-and-delivery counter
₹2.5–5 L (excluding rent deposit)*
Allcargo publishes no franchise terms, so this is our own cost build-up for a 100–300 sq ft street-level booking-and-delivery counter: signage and basic fit-out ₹0.5–1 L; computer, label printer, barcode scanner, weighing scale and furniture ₹0.5–1 L; an allowance of ₹0.5–1.5 L for any security deposit or advance Allcargo may ask for (our assumption — no figure is published); and 2–3 months of staff, rent and running costs ₹1–1.5 L as working capital. Rent deposit and GST extra. No peer brand's figure is used.
