BuyBuyCart Select Expands ‘The Attendance Sheet Café’ Through Franchise Model, Targets 100 Outlets in 3–5 Years
New Delhi : BuyBuyCart Select is expanding its experiential retail strategy with the franchise-led growth of ‘The Attendance Sheet Café,’ a classroom-themed café concept built around nostalgia, affordable pricing, and an immersive customer experience.
The company plans to open 20–24 outlets over the next 12–24 months, beginning with Delhi-NCR, before expanding into other markets. Over the next three to five years, BuyBuyCart Select aims to build a network of 80–100 outlets across India.
Commenting on the expansion, Ashish Pandey, Co-founder, BuyBuyCart Select, said, “The Attendance Sheet Café is not just a café; it is an emotion that we have connected with BuyBuyCart Select’s experience-led retail vision. Where shopping ends, nostalgia begins. That is the core idea behind our franchise expansion. Our long-term vision is to make The Attendance Sheet Café an independent and iconic café chain, taking the nostalgia-driven concept from Delhi-NCR to markets across India.”
The café will run on a Franchise Owned , Company Operated (FOCO) model. Franchise partners will put in the investment, while BuyBuyCart Select will handle location picking, store setup, training, marketing, chef deployment, and the daily running of things, basically day-to-day operations.
The planned outlet format is roughly 2,000–3,000 sq. ft., and the indicative investment could be around ₹3,000 per sq. ft. , depending on where it is and how the format is shaped. The company also expects franchise partners to get a 12–24-month payback period, subject to outlet-level performance and market conditions.
The café’s classroom-inspired identity feels like report card-style menus, diary-inspired branding, and school-themed elements; that mix creates a more differentiated customer experience across different age groups. The company is also moving toward a simplified menu to keep consistency across all outlets without much variation.
The café’s integration with BuyBuyCart Select’s retail ecosystem is expected to create opportunities for cross-footfall, allowing existing shoppers to engage with the café while café visitors interact with the wider retail environment.
