Franchise Conclave Jaipur runs on 3 and 4 October 2026 at the Rajasthan International Centre, Jhalana Doongri, on JLN Marg. Doors open at 10:00 AM on both days.
It is Rajasthan’s first dedicated food and beverage franchise forum. Every stall on the floor is an F&B brand. Every visitor registered as a franchise seeker rather than a general expo walk-in.
The format is unusual for an Indian expo. There is no stage, no MC and no panel programme. The floor is the whole event, so a brand you want to meet is never in a session while you look for them.
Key Takeaways
- 3 and 4 October 2026, Rajasthan International Centre, Jaipur
- 10:00 AM onwards on both days, Exhibition Hall 1 and 2
- 35+ curated F&B brands across eight categories
- 4,000+ investors expected, pre-registered rather than walk-in
- No stage and no panels, so the floor runs uninterrupted
What Is Franchise Conclave Jaipur 2026?
Franchise Conclave is a food and beverage franchise forum, and the Jaipur edition is the first of its kind in Rajasthan. Two things sit behind that description, and both are about who gets onto the floor.
The floor is curated rather than open. Brands are handpicked into eight F&B categories. A visitor walking the hall meets QSR, café and cloud kitchen operators, not a chai brand next to a cement company.
Visitors are pre-registered and verified as franchise seekers. That is the other half of the design. Brands on the floor are talking to people who came to sign, not to collect brochures.
The first edition ran in Ahmedabad in June 2026. Our Ahmedabad conclave guide covers how that one was set up and what investors did with it.

What Happens on the Franchise Conclave Floor?
Four things run across the two days, and none of them takes you away from the stalls. The hall layout below shows where each one sits.
Entry Pre-exhibition area and badge collection Exhibition floor Stall row Stall row Stall row Demos and tastings run at the stalls Food court, the one zone that sells No stage sits anywhere on this plan. The food court is at the far end, so the walk back out takes you past the stalls a second time.Each of the four is below, with what it means for your day.
The Exhibition Floor
Brands run live demos and product showcases at their stalls. This is where most of the two days goes.
Live Demos and Tastings
Food tastings and brand experience zones run on both days. Sunday’s midday window is the busiest across the food court and the floor.
B2B Matchmaking
Pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings between investors and brands run at 2:00 PM on each day. These are meetings rather than sessions, so nothing is happening on a stage while they run.
The Food Court
The food court sits at the far end of the hall and is the one zone where selling is permitted. Everywhere else on the floor is a conversation about a franchise, not a transaction.
Petpooja is India’s biggest and most price effective restaurant POS, behind the success of 1,00,000+ outlets. It has run restaurant billing in India for over a decade, and processes 60 lakh bills a day at 0% error.
Which F&B Categories are Exhibiting at Franchise Conclave Jaipur?
The floor is organised into eight categories, and knowing which ones you came for saves an hour of walking. This section lists them with what each usually means for an incoming operator.
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| QSR | Counter-service formats with a fixed menu and fast throughput |
| Café and Tea | Seated café and chai formats, the fastest-growing tier-2 segment |
| Cloud Kitchen | Delivery-only formats with no dine-in floor to rent |
| Fine Dine | Full-service restaurant brands with a higher setup cost |
| Desserts | Dessert parlours and specialist sweet formats |
| Bakery | Bakery and patisserie formats, often with a retail counter |
| Ice Cream | Scooping parlours and ice cream brands |
| Beverages | Juice, shake and speciality drink formats |
Four of those eight have brands confirmed against them already.
Which Brands are Confirmed So Far?
Eighteen brands had confirmed their stalls as of 21 September 2026, across four of the eight categories. Here is who has signed, and what each one sells.

This is the line-up confirmed so far rather than the final floor plan. The remaining stalls are still being booked, so more names will be added in these categories and in the four not yet represented.
Still deciding which format suits your budget? Our investor guide covers what to ask at each type of stall. The F&B franchise picks post sets out how categories differ on cost.
Who Should Attend Franchise Conclave Jaipur?
The room is built for two groups, and the format works differently for each. This section covers both, so you can judge whether the two days are worth your travel.
The first group is people looking to buy a franchise. That includes first-time investors, existing restaurant owners adding a second brand, and family businesses moving capital into F&B. Every visitor badge is issued against a pre-registration, which is why brands treat the floor as qualified.
Restaurant owners using Petpooja tell us the second outlet is rarely a menu problem. It is a reporting one, and it is worth raising at the stall before you sign.
The second group is brands looking for franchise partners in Rajasthan. Jaipur is the launch city rather than the whole market, with Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer and Bikaner behind it.
The event prospectus counts 216 F&B franchise opportunities live in Jaipur and 59 cafes already listed for sale to incoming operators. It puts commercial rent in the city at 30% to 40% under the metros. That gap is the margin a first-year outlet tends to need.
The city also draws footfall from three directions rather than one. Golden Triangle tourism, the destination-wedding market, and student traffic out of Kota.
Already run an outlet and weighing a second? Our restaurant expansion checklist is the shorter read to do first.
How Do You Register for Franchise Conclave Jaipur?
Registration is handled on the event site rather than at the door, and it is worth doing before you travel. There are two routes in, one for visitors and one for brands.
Visitors register through franchiseconclave.com, which carries the current ticket link and the venue details. Badge collection is at the entry foyer from 10:00 AM on Saturday.
Brands that want a stall apply through the same site, under the exhibitor route. Stall enquiries go to Hardik Gandhi at hardik.gandhi@petpooja.com or on +91 63588 70736.
Conclusion
Franchise Conclave Jaipur is two days on 3 and 4 October 2026 at the Rajasthan International Centre. There are 35+ curated F&B brands and no stage taking them off the floor.
For an investor, the value is the filter. Every stall is food and beverage and every badge is a pre-registered franchise seeker. The eight categories tell you where to start walking, and our floor plan guide sequences them by how much time you have.
Register before you travel, then let your time decide your route. One afternoon means picking two or three categories in advance. A full day or the weekend means walking all eight first and shortlisting after. Either way, book a matchmaking slot for the brands you are serious about.
Then ask at the stall about the systems that hold a second outlet together. That is the part a brochure never covers.

Hardik Gandhi is Senior Manager – Marketing at Petpooja. At Petpooja he works on events, franchising and business strategy, including the Franchise Conclave that brought 50+ F&B brands and over 6,000 pre-screened investors. That combination is rare. Most people writing about events have either attended them or sold sponsorships at them; Hardik has stood at the registration desk before the doors opened, watched which stalls drew queues and which did not, and later worked out what the footfall number actually meant. He writes for operators weighing up expos, franchise expansion and the economics of putting a brand in front of a crowd what an event costs, what it returns, and what nobody tells you before you book the stall.
