The Business Case & Scope Ledger

What a Full Brand-and-Product Engagement Actually Produces.

Most design agencies stop at a brand book PDF and a website mockup. Crumbloom was built as an exhaustive, executable commercial enterprise: ten distinct wings spanning statutory packaging dielines with millimetre cut-and-crease layers, 1:50 isometric architectural plans, pure-domain bake production scheduling algorithms, a live multi-role franchisee tablet console, and customer apps. For a prospective brand client or founder, this page demonstrates the real scope ledger: every artifact delivered, the underlying unit economics, and the honest studio investment required to execute at this level.

Commercial Architecture

Outlet Unit Economics: Kiosk vs. Café

Under the FOFO model, central kitchen commissary supply dramatically reduces outlet capex and eliminates ventilation extraction barriers.

Franchise Kiosk Unit

200 sq ft (18.6 m²)

₹14 L

All-in turnkey capex

Zero on-site baking oven: Strictly zero baking oven on site. 100% of baked products, viennoiserie, and celebration cakes are dispatched freshly twice daily from the central kitchen. This eliminates ventilation ducting capex, reduces footprint to 200 sq ft, and guarantees identical brand crust consistency.
Expected Payback Range:14 – 18 months
Daily Orders & AOV:120 – 160 orders · ₹280
Gross Margin & Royalty:65% gross · 6% monthly royalty
Staffing Headcount:3 FTEs (counter & runner)
Key Payback Assumptions:
  • Daily transactions: 120 – 160 orders/day across morning commuter and evening tea hours
  • Average order value (AOV): ₹280 (beverage pairing + fresh bake)
  • Gross margin on central kitchen dispatch: 65%

Franchise Flagship Café & Cake Studio

600 sq ft (55.8 m²)

₹38 L

All-in turnkey capex

Active Deck Oven & Studio: Features an active electric deck oven and dedicated glass-front celebration cake studio. While daily breads and base viennoiserie arrive from the central kitchen, on-site baking supports customized celebration cakes, morning bake-off aroma, and hot savory items.
Expected Payback Range:22 – 28 months
Daily Checks & AOV:220 – 300 checks · ₹420
Gross Margin & Royalty:68% gross · 6% monthly royalty
Staffing Headcount:7 FTEs (pastry team + floor)
Key Payback Assumptions:
  • Daily transactions: 220 – 300 checks/day across dine-in, takeaway, and celebration cake pickups
  • Average check value: ₹420 (combination of seating café checks and custom celebration cakes)
  • Gross margin: 68% blended margin across hot beverages, pastries, and studio bakes

Costing Honesty Principle

There is no real invoice, no commercial rate card, and no active client billing. The ledger illustrates what an uncompromising, end-to-end design and engineering partnership yields in the real world.
