Food and beverage franchise consulting
Planned by a chef, built for your business
A franchise only works if the concept can be repeated by someone else, exactly. That means the menu, the recipes, the kitchen layout, the service routine and the training all have to be written down and proven before the first franchisee signs. HRBC Hospitality Solutions helps food and beverage brands in Chennai and across Tamil Nadu prepare to franchise, and helps entrepreneurs evaluate and set up franchise outlets.
Chef Solomon Arputha Nesan has opened and been part of many outlets across restaurants, cafés, bakeries and hotels, so we focus on the operating side of franchising: standard recipes and costing, outlet and kitchen layouts, SOPs and training programmes, and opening support. We do not provide legal advice. Franchise agreements and disclosures should be prepared by a qualified legal adviser.

SOPs & operations manual

Planning checklist
Before you franchise, or buy a franchise
Use this as a starting point. We tailor it to your premises, format and budget.
- Prove the concept in your own outlet or outlets first, with real sales and cost data
- Document every recipe, portion, cost and routine until someone else can run it
- Define the standard outlet formats and layouts you will offer
- Write the operations manual and training programme before you recruit franchisees
- Decide exactly what support you will give franchisees, and what it costs you
- Use a qualified legal adviser for agreements. If you are buying a franchise, check the real unit economics and visit existing outlets first
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Do you prepare franchise agreements?
No. We focus on the operating side: recipes, layouts, SOPs and training. Franchise agreements and legal documents should be prepared by a qualified legal adviser, and we are happy to work alongside them.
Can you help me evaluate a franchise I am thinking of buying?
We can review the operational side of an offer: what the kitchen, layout, staffing and training will really require. Financial and legal checks should be done with your accountant and legal adviser.
When is my concept ready to franchise?
There is no fixed number of outlets. The concept should be proven profitable, and its recipes, costs, layout and routines should be documented well enough for someone else to run it.
Do you work only in Chennai?
We are based in Chennai and work across Tamil Nadu. If your project is elsewhere, get in touch and we will tell you whether we can help.
