ZEN Z · Highway food mall
A 10,000 sq ft food hall with eight ZEN Z counters and a buffet, travel shops at the entrance, and ten ZEN Z Stay rooms at the back. You bring the site and the setup capital. You choose who runs it — ZEN Z, or you.
What is on the plot
Food is the engine. The shops, the rooms and the plot itself add income that a plain roadside restaurant never sees.
Master plan
About 43,000 sq ft with 200 ft of highway frontage. Mall in front, rooms at the back, shops at the entrance, parking between.
Setup scope
Indicative scope for planning, so you can see what the building and the rooms involve before we meet. Read every amount as an upper estimate — up to, not a fixed price: location-wise it can be lower or higher, because plot condition, approach road, local material and labour rates and statutory charges differ from state to state. Your figure is itemised in writing after the site review — it excludes land, deposits, statutory fees and GST.

We do not buy land for a food mall. A nine-year registered lease keeps the setup light and the location flexible.
Every amount above is an indicative upper figure before the site survey — location-wise the same build can cost less or more, and the written itemised quote follows the site visit. ZEN Z heads the project. Payment is made in four milestones — at signing, at build start, at fit-out and before launch — always against a ZEN Z invoice to the ZEN Z company account, never to an individual. ZEN Z appoints the vendors and contractors, checks every bill and settles them, and you get a head-wise statement at each milestone.
Two ways to partner
Same plot, same build, same brand and technology. ZEN Z sets the mall up once; then choose whether you run it (Option A) or ZEN Z runs it for you (Option B). There is no separate royalty or franchise fee on top.
Option A
ZEN Z sets everything up once — the build, the kitchen, hiring, training, SOPs and the launch. After that you run the site with your own team. ZEN Z gives you the brand, the recipes, the operating manual, the app and billing software, marketing support and the supply chain. What is left after expenses stays with you.
Option B
You fund the setup and take no part in daily operations. ZEN Z hires and trains the team, runs the kitchen, the counters, the rooms and the shops, does the marketing and reports to you. You never step into the kitchen.
"Profit after all expenses" is the year's income from the mall, less food cost, staff, land rent, power and fuel, packaging, marketing, repairs, licences and insurance — every line on your dashboard. Your 25% depends on the actual profit, and the profit depends on actual sales: a year with a loss pays no share, and no income is guaranteed under either option. A leased site is taken at the minimum market rent, with yearly increases of no more than 10%. Both options give you a 25 km exclusive territory on the stretch, the assets stay yours, and the deposit comes back to you at exit.
The process
Enquiring creates no agreement and takes no payment. The clock on the build starts when the lease is signed and the land is legally usable for commercial activity.
Share the highway, the nearest town, the plot size and whether it is owned or on offer. We call within one working day.
Traffic count, direction of travel, access, land status, water and power — scored on the ZEN Z checklist. If the site will not work, we say so.
Option A or Option B, the itemised scope and the commercial terms in writing. A token is adjusted in the first milestone.
Registered lease with the land owner and the ZEN Z agreement, with time for your lawyer to read both.
Drawings and permissions, then structure, services, kitchen and fit-out. Weekly photo reports and four ZEN Z inspections.
Team hired and trained, licences in hand, bus-operator tie-ups signed. Live on the ZEN Z app from day one.
