You keep the store’s operating profit after Xin’s fee. The full numbers are shared at a Xin Table, under NDA.
The next step is dinner, not a deck.
A Xin Table is dinner with the founders — real numbers, the partners already in the room, ten seats. The next one is on 2 October 2026 at Xin Den Coonoor.
Ten seats. One dinner.
What is FOCO?+
You own the store; Xin operates it. You bring the site and the capital; we bring the menu, the people, the kitchen systems, the AI on every table, and we run it. You keep the store’s operating profit after our fee.
How much do I invest?+
Indicatively ₹25–30 lakh for a Xin Go and ₹35–60 lakh for a Xin Den, plus a one-time founding partner fee, property and about two months of working capital. Every site is costed before you commit.
Is there a minimum guarantee?+
Not from you. Xin runs the store, so we don’t ask you to guarantee our performance. The full commercials are shared at a Xin Table, under NDA.
Do I need to own the property?+
Owned sites make the best economics and are our first filter. A long lease works if it runs at least as long as the agreement and carries no revenue share above 10%.
Do I have to run the restaurant?+
No. You never manage people or the kitchen. Your role is owner and local anchor: the site, the capital, your town’s relationships, and a monthly review with us.
Where are you opening?+
Tamil Nadu and Karnataka first, in clusters — Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy, Salem, Tirupur, Erode, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi, Manipal — then Cochin, Trivandrum, Gudalur, Puducherry, Goa. Not every city on the list will get a Xin; we choose partners before places.
How long is the agreement?+
Five years from opening, renewable, aligned to your lease.
What is a Xin Table?+
Dinner with the founders — real numbers, the partners already in, ten seats. It’s where the commercials are opened, under NDA. The next one is on 2 October 2026 at Xin Den Coonoor.
What happens after I apply?+
We reply within a day. If it fits, you’re invited to the next Xin Table. After that: a letter of intent, a site study, and the agreement.
Who is behind Xin?+
