The Ritvaa franchise has a standard lock-in period of 3 years from the date of the store launch. This ensures stability for both the partner and the brand, giving you the time needed to build your customer base and see meaningful returns on your investment.

The standard franchise agreement tenure is 5 years, renewable upon mutual agreement and satisfactory performance. Most of our partners choose to renew and many go on to expand to additional locations after completing their first term.

Yes, there is a one-time franchise fee payable at the time of signing the agreement. This fee grants you the right to use the Ritvaa brand, access to our systems and processes, initial onboarding, training, and launch support. The fee is included in the overall investment figure discussed during the discovery call.

You can propose your preferred city and locality. Our team evaluates the commercial potential, footfall, and demographic fit of the proposed location before confirming it. We also assist with strategic location research to help you identify the best possible site within your target area.

Once the agreement is signed and the security deposit is received, our merchandising team coordinates your initial inventory dispatch. Stock selection is based on your store format, city demographics, the current selling season, and Ritvaa's bestsellers mix. All products are dispatched from our central facility directly to your store.

An early exit during the lock-in period will involve a notice period as defined in the agreement. Depending on the duration completed, a portion of the security deposit may be forfeited. All stock and branded assets must be returned to Ritvaa. The specific terms are detailed in the franchise agreement and discussed during the legal review process before signing.

You will have full access to Ritvaa's franchise portal, which provides real-time sales dashboards, transaction history, and monthly performance reports. Our franchise relationship manager also conducts periodic business reviews with you to analyse performance, identify opportunities, and address any concerns.

Minimum Guarantee terms are evaluated based on store location, format, size, and projected footfall. This is discussed in detail during the franchise agreement negotiations.
