Frequently Asked Questions

What commercial espresso machine is best for a new café in India?

For a new café serving 80–150 cups/day, a 2-group commercial espresso machine is the standard — brands with strong Indian service networks include Nuova Simonelli (Appia Life), Rancilio (Classe 5/7), and Carimali. Budget ₹2–5L for a complete espresso station including grinder. Hospiverse connects you with verified dealers so you can compare quotes before deciding.

How much does café equipment cost in India?

A complete café equipment setup in India typically costs ₹8–20L depending on scale and brand choices. This includes espresso machine (₹1.2–8L), grinder (₹20K–1.2L), refrigerated display (₹60K–2L), furniture for 20 seats (₹1.5–4L), and POS system (₹15K–60K/yr). Use Hospiverse to get competitive B2B quotes across all categories.

Do I need a FSSAI licence for a café?

Yes. Any food business in India, including cafés, requires a FSSAI registration or licence. Small cafés (turnover under ₹12L/yr) need basic FSSAI registration; larger ones need a state or central licence. You'll need this before you can legally serve food and beverages.
