FAQ
Grocery delivery franchise FAQ
A grocery delivery franchise lets a local company run a delivery business under an established brand, using the franchisor’s technology and operating model. In the Yango Lavka franchise, the partner operates dark stores and couriers in its territory, and Yango provides the customer app, operating software, brand and launch support
Yango Lavka is an express grocery delivery (quick-commerce) service, part of Yango Group. It delivers groceries, ready-to-eat food and everyday essentials in 15 to 20 minutes from dark stores
A dark store is a small warehouse that is closed to walk-in shoppers and serves delivery orders only. A typical Yango Lavka dark store stocks 3,000 to 5,000 products and serves a compact delivery zone, which keeps delivery to 15 to 20 minutes
The partner finds and runs the dark stores, hires the store team and runs courier operations. Yango provides the customer app, warehouse and dispatch software, the Yango Lavka brand, marketing, operating standards and training
Launch follows six steps: partnership agreement, location selection, store setup, team preparation, stock and systems setup, and opening. The timeline depends on the territory, site availability and store fit-out
The investment depends on the territory and the number of dark stores
Yango Lavka’s own dark-store network is EBITDA-positive. Results in a new territory depend on store locations, order volume and local operating costs
Companies with retail or logistics experience, capital to open several dark stores across a territory, and an established local network of suppliers and real-estate contacts
