Baskin Robbins Franchise Profit

We will analyze Baskin Robbins Franchise Profit with the help of an example. We are assuming that the monthly Sales are 2,40,000 Rupees i.e. 8,000 Rupees daily.

We will deduct all the expenses from the Gross Sales to get the net profit of the franchise-

Particulars	Amount (Off-Season)	Amount (On-Season)
Gross Sales	2,40,000 Rupees	4,00,000 Rupees
Cost of material @55%	(1,32,000) Rupees	(2,20,000) Rupees
Rent	(45,000) Rupees	(45,000) Rupees
Salary of Workers (2)	(25,000) Rupees	(25,000) Rupees
Electricity and Water Supply	(10,000) Rupees	(10,000) Rupees
Aggregator Commission (Zomato, Swiggy)	(15,000) Rupees	(40,000) Rupees
Transport	(5,000) Rupees	(10,000) Rupees
Other Expenses	(8,000) Rupees	(10,000) Rupees
Net Profit	0 Rupees (Break-Even)	40,000 Rupees

We are assuming that 2,00,000 Rupees will be the Sales in the off-season. Still, the franchise is on a break-even stage.

In the summers, the minimum Sales will be assumed as 4,00,000 Rupees considering a good location. The profit margin of the Baskin Robbins Franchise will be 10%.

The Sales can even go upto 5-6 Lakh Rupees a month. In this case, the profit margin will go upto 15-18%.

For great profits, you have to opt for the greatest location where you can find the potential customer of this product. The product is not everyone’s affordable range.

Ice Cream is a very specific and Seasonal product so location plays the most crucial role in determining the Sales and attracting the target customers. Therefore, we assumed high rent in the example above.

The target customer is mainly middle and Upper-Class people and majorly Youth. The franchise will definitely be profitable in the Summers but this outlet deserves to be in a high visibility area.

Baskin Robbins Franchise Review

For me, Ice cream means Baskin Robbins. This is the kind of product and brand this franchise has. Everyone should try their Ice Cream once in a lifetime even if you don’t have enough money in your pocket.

It’s a very bold move of charging no Royalty even after having such a big brand name across the World. Maybe they have some profit margin through their cost of material after deducting the distribution network cost.

It’s a no-brainer, If you have a great location in your mind where people can afford Baskin Robbins Ice Cream then this franchise is highly recommendable. 1 order on average can easily generate 400-500 Rupees. Therefore, 25 orders daily are enough to make your Baskin Robbins Franchise a profitable one.

There are already around 750 stores in India so there is some magic in the Baskin Robbins Franchise that you can unleash.

It’s just an honest review, this is not a sponsored content but my love for the Baskin Robbins Ice Creams.
