The South Asian drinks franchise is rapidly growing its U.K. network.

Chaiiwala, the South Asian F&B franchise with 32 outlets throughout the U.K., has announced it plans to increase its footprint to 188 locations before the end of 2023, creating 3,600 new jobs across the country, employment 4 students reports.

With each new Chaiiwala location creating an average of 23 vacancies – with new roles ranging from waiters and kitchen staff to chefs and managerial positions – the franchise’s aim of increasing its headcount by 550 per cent comes off the back of a year of exponential demand.

“By opening bigger stores in new locations, we are confident that the brand will achieve a bigger reach and help more customers discover what we think is the best chaii in the U.K.,” said Nil Naik, franchise director for Chaiiwala.

“Since the pandemic, we have increased our delivery options across all third-party platforms such as Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats, and this has increased our takeaway sales by 10 per cent, with take out now accounting for more than 80 per cent of our sales.”

Chaiiwala executives have announced that 40 new branches are set to open before the end of 2020, and the brand will soon move into the Canadian market, with further locations being planned throughout Europe and South Africa.
