Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
Australia-based casual cafe chain Crepe Cafe is set to make its India debut offering both sweet and savoury crepes, a French street food staple.
Crepe Cafe was started by Australian-French restaurateur Jean-Pierre Corgnet in 2001 in Queensland, Australia. It was expanded into West Asia in 2007. At present there are eight outlets in Australia and 27 in West Asia.
The first two cafes will be opened in New Delhi and Mumbai by September and the company aims to open a total of 10 cafes this year. The BFC Retail Group, which owns Crepe Cafe, is investing $75,000 in the first phase of investment in the India market.
Over the next five years, the company plans to open 100 outlets across tier I cities in the country. Unlike its outlets in West Asia, which are spread over 200-250 sq. ft, Crepe Cafe outlets in India will be smaller at 75-90 sq. ft, with seating for 30-40 people. The outlets will also offer quick takeaway services.
