Insight: Vegan fast-casual concepts outpaced coffee chains for the first time.

Why vegan concepts lead 🥤

• Lower fit-out cost than traditional restaurants

• TikTok-friendly drinks fuel organic reach

• Younger franchisees (<35) attracted to lifestyle brands

“Brands that respond to enquiries within three hours sign almost twice as many franchisees. Cuppa' Chaii nailed that SLA and raced to our #1 spot.”
— Aisha Khan, Franchise Finder Data Lead

What this means for investors / franchisees

• Demand ≠ guaranteed ROI – check EBITDA margins, not just growth rate.

• Look for territory availability – fast growers sell regions quickly.
