Indian quick-service restaurant chain (QSR) Burger Singh has launched a new owner-partner franchise model to enable entrepreneurs to establish comprehensive dine-in restaurants.

The initiative focuses on expanding into major cities, smaller towns and developing urban areas. Burger Singh contributes Rs2.4m ($28,030) per restaurant.

The move substantially lowers the financial hurdle for engaged operators.

The approach targets local entrepreneurs with strong community connections. The company plans to launch 50 new outlets within three months.

Local operators with operational responsibility will lead this growth. The strategy stems from observations of the brand’s top-performing locations.

Burger Singh is currently present in 80 cities with more than 180 restaurants, managed by hands-on local operators. The new system combines affordability with active participation.

The compact dine-in setup covers an area between 250ft² and 350ft². Each venue offers seating for 16 to 20 to ensure operational efficiency and customer comfort.

Support encompasses site selection, kitchen installation, staff training, recruitment, backend processes and local advertising.

Burger Singh founder and CEO Kabir Jeet Singh stated: “Our focus is on empowering committed local operators. For those dedicated to excellent customer service and willing to collaborate closely, we offer partnership, investment and growth opportunities.” 

In March 2025, Burger Singh announced its plan to open more than 200 new outlets across tier 2 and 3 cities in India.

Burger Singh is planning to reach 1,000 stores by 2030, and is inviting entrepreneurs to co-invest as an operator partner in their city.
