Franchisee Reviews

“I was looking for a restaurant business where I could invest without worrying about day-to-day operations. The Cholan Mess FICO model was exactly what I wanted. The company handled outlet setup, recruitment, training, procurement, marketing, and daily operations, while I received regular performance reports and revenue updates.
What impressed me most was the transparency. The management team was always available whenever I had questions, and they continuously worked to improve sales through new menu additions and local marketing initiatives.
Within the first few months, I could the strength of the Cholan Mess brand. Customers appreciated the consistent taste and service, which helped build repeat business.”

I have taken Franchise of Chettinese by Cholan Mess brand and operating successfully for nearly nine years in Thiruvallur, and it has been one of the best business decisions I’ve made. Over the years, the brand has consistently evolved by introducing innovative dishes while retaining the authentic taste that keeps customers coming back.
Our outlet has built a loyal customer base, with the combo meals becoming our top-selling category. The menu innovation, standardized recipes, and operational support from the Cholan Mess team have helped us maintain consistency and customer satisfaction throughout the years.”

“Before investing, I evaluated several restaurant franchise opportunities. I chose the Cholan Mess FICO model because it offered a structured system instead of expecting me to learn the restaurant business from scratch.
From site selection to launch, the team guided me through every stage. The opening process was well planned, and the SOPs made operations consistent. I receive regular business updates, and I can monitor the outlet’s performance without being involved in daily operations.
The biggest advantage for me is peace of mind. I continue with my primary profession while owning a business backed by an experienced restaurant team. Whenever operational challenges arise, the Cholan Mess team takes ownership and works toward practical solutions.
My experience has given me confidence that this is a professionally managed business model designed for long-term growth rather than short-term gains. I’m happy to be associated with the Cholan Mess brand and look forward to expanding with additional outlets in the future.”
