The Chapati Man Story

Chapati Man was created by husband and wife team, Chris and Andrea Rai, in 2007. The idea came from Chris taking leftover curry in a wrap to work, which soon evolved into the Chapati Man concept. We started our journey by selling Spicy Indian Wraps at major music festivals and events in the UK. We are now a fixture at festivals and events such as Glastonbury, Bestival, Camp Bestival, Lakefest and The Handmade Fair.

Why Chapati Man?

• Our quality wrap range – Our range of wraps is all about quality ingredients and an authentic Indian taste. We have a small but targeted menu of well-tested favourite fillings, which means great taste every time.
• Brand exposure – customer footfall at festivals and events over the past 11 years is over 5 million – these people have seen Chapati Man – our brand is out there.
• Our reputation has grown considerably over the past 11 years as an outstanding event caterer. Over this time the Chapati Man product and brand has caught the imagination of the consumer and has become increasingly popular with a growing customer base.
• Our locations – Our mobile food trailer allows us to operate in different profitable, high-profile locations which means we optimise convenience for the customer, rather than the other way around.
• Our great service – We love serving our customers and we can say with some certainty that they love our great food and service because they come back for more on a regular basis.
• The Chapati Man brand resonates with a broad spectrum of consumers especially young adults who tend to be driven by convenience and strong branding – a perfect fit for the food-to-go consumer.
• You will get a new, branded and fully equipped Chapati Man food truck, along with all the necessary equipment needed to commence trading.

Chapati Man Franchise Model

The Chapati Man franchise starts with a simple concept – great wraps. Sold hot from our fully-liveried trucks, the fillings are pre-prepared. This means you can concentrate on serving our great wrap range, adding salad and sauces to suit each customer’s taste and offering drinks, while making sure they get the best possible Chapati Man experience. We’ve worked hard to make sure our business is as easy to manage as possible and to be both successful and profitable.

Is Chapati Man the Franchise for You?

To achieve our ambitious goal of national coverage, we need the right people to run our franchises. We need people who will offer high-quality customer service, with high personal standards and a commitment to maintaining these standards. Plus you need to be business-minded, friendly, sociable and fun!

Running a Chapati Man truck is hard work. You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the business, dealing with suppliers, staff and customers; looking after local marketing and promotional activity and solving all the minor problems and issues you will encounter daily.
