Tea Time quotes ₹5 Lakhs for a unit franchise selling tea, coolers and shakes. Its page includes marketing, movable equipment and initial stock. The operator arranges specified premises works, so two shops with the same package price can need different amounts of cash before opening. Read Tea Time’s unit requirements (accessed 12 Nov 2026).
T VANAMM publishes this guide. The comparison pairs Tea Time’s unit offer with our Regular café package so you can check each written quotation against the same shop.

What to ask before signing or paying a deposit
Take the two package lists to the actual shop. For example, a former café may already have tile flooring and a service counter. Ask Tea Time whether each meets its specification. In a bare shop, ask a contractor to price the water connection, flooring, partition and counter individually. Keep the quote beside the brand’s kit list so you can spot both missing items and equipment priced twice.
- What will arrive before opening? Get the equipment models, initial stock quantities, delivery charges and installation responsibilities in writing. Ask who handles a fault and how you order replacement stock.
- What is payable after opening? Ask for every recurring fee and its frequency. Tea Time’s public unit page leaves royalty terms unstated. Check the draft agreement and a sample stock invoice before comparing monthly costs.
- Who will run the counter? For Tea Time, choose the 2 employees who can attend training and cover preparation and service. For T VANAMM, ask how the 4-day initial training fits your staffing plan.
- How much cash is needed for this address? Start with the package and add the local deposit, applicable taxes, excluded work and a reserve for rent and wages. Give each item a supplier quote or a written agreement line before choosing a site.
Would a T VANAMM 3-in-1 café fit your shop?
At T VANAMM a café, juice centre and ice cream parlour share one counter. The published menu lists 130 items, including 10 herbal and specialty tea choices. If you want to offer hot drinks alongside juices and frozen desserts, check space for preparation, refrigeration, storage and service during the site survey.
Request a T VANAMM package quote for my city. Include the locality, usable floor area and whether you already have a shop. That gives the team enough information to discuss your proposed layout and which local costs to price.
