According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Entrepreneurship Model for a Sustainable Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) presents a structured, scalable, and cost-efficient framework designed to support budding entrepreneurs in establishing, operating, and sustaining standalone QSR ventures without reliance on expensive franchise systems. The model addresses the high failure rate observed among independent QSR startups by integrating practical knowledge acquisition, systematic planning, operational standardization, and sustainability-driven practices. It outlines a phased approach beginning with idea generation, market analysis, seed funding estimation, location selection, branding, and regulatory compliance, followed by process establishment encompassing menu planning, equipment selection, staffing, training, vendor management, digital integration, and marketing strategies. The model emphasizes operational resilience through SOP-based workflows, financial discipline, emergency preparedness, and continuous improvement mechanisms. Sustainability is embedded through food waste reduction, eco-friendly packaging, energy and water conservation, and ethical labor practices. The framework also incorporates modern QSR dynamics such as online food delivery partnerships, CRM-based customer engagement, data-driven feedback systems, and adaptive menu innovation to align with evolving consumer preferences. By balancing affordability, consistency, speed, quality, and environmental responsibility, the model enhances business survivability, profitability, and social impact."
