Quick Answer
Food court space at ISBT Kaushambi — 2L+ daily captive footfall. Food court and F&B space at Omaxe BeTogether ISBT Kaushambi is positioned to serve 2 lakh+ daily commuters — the highest captive footfall of any transit hub in Delhi NCR. The project is under a government PPP with UPSRTC; commercial units are on a 90-year concession. F&B spaces here serve transit-driven demand without dependence on mall anchor tenants or marketing.
For F&B businesses, location is everything — and location means footfall. ISBT Kaushambi sits at the convergence of four transit systems with a combined daily footfall exceeding 2 lakh people. For a food court operator, a QSR chain, or an independent restaurant owner, that is a captive, recurring audience that no standalone high-street location in Ghaziabad can match.
Retail Shops inside the terminal are launching soon. Register your interest with Saurabh now — he will contact you directly when retail units open for booking, with first-mover priority for registered enquiries.
The Footfall — What 2 Lakh Daily Users Means for F&B
| Transit Hub | Daily Users | F&B Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| ISBT Kaushambi Bus Terminal | 64,000+ | Waiting passengers (30–90 min dwell time) — captive food demand |
| Anand Vihar Railway Station | 50,000+ | Train travellers with meal windows — branded and regional food both work |
| Kaushambi Metro (Blue Line) | 45,000+ | Morning and evening commuters — breakfast, chai, quick snacks |
| RRTS Anand Vihar (Namo Bharat) | 40,000+ | High-income rapid transit users — premium F&B demand |
| Total daily footfall | 2 lakh+ | All-day food demand across all meal occasions |
Bus terminal dwell time is the key difference from metro or railway footfall. Bus passengers typically wait 30–90 minutes before departure and 15–30 minutes on arrival. This extended presence converts casual passing traffic into seated or standing food purchases — chai, snacks, full meals — at significantly higher rates than pure commuter traffic.
F&B Formats That Work at This Location
Why Transit Hub Retail Outperforms Mall Retail
Mall F&B depends on discretionary visits — people choose to go to a mall. Transit hub F&B benefits from captive, recurring, non-discretionary traffic — people are there regardless of whether your restaurant is there. The footfall does not depend on your brand, your marketing, or the season. It shows up every day because buses, trains, and metros run every day.
The structural advantage: ISBT Kaushambi is not a mall that competes for visitors. It is a government-mandated transit infrastructure point with 2 lakh+ daily users. F&B businesses inside capture a share of that footfall by being present — not by competing for it.
The PPP Structure — Why This Terminal Is Permanent
ISBT Kaushambi is developed under a 90-year Public Private Partnership between Omaxe and UPSRTC (UP State Road Transport Corporation — a state government body). The terminal will operate for the duration of the concession. Unlike a private mall that can change tenancy, close, or reposition, a government bus terminal serves a public transport function that cannot be discontinued.
For an F&B operator taking a long-term retail position, the permanence of the footfall source matters as much as its current size.

Revenue Math — What 2 Lakh Daily Users Means for an F&B Business
These are illustrative estimates based on industry-standard transit F&B conversion rates. Actual revenues will depend on your format, pricing, unit size, and execution. Use as orientation, not a guarantee.
| F&B Format | Footfall Capture Assumption | Average Ticket | Estimated Daily Revenue Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chai & Snack Stall | 500–1,000 covers/day (0.5% of footfall) | ₹30–60 | ₹15,000 – ₹60,000/day |
| QSR (Quick Service) | 200–400 covers/day (lunch + dinner peak) | ₹120–200 | ₹24,000 – ₹80,000/day |
| Juice & Beverages | 300–600 transactions/day | ₹40–80 | ₹12,000 – ₹48,000/day |
| Bakery / Confectionery | 150–300 transactions/day | ₹80–150 | ₹12,000 – ₹45,000/day |
| Sit-Down Restaurant | 80–120 covers/day (2–3 sittings) | ₹200–400 | ₹16,000 – ₹48,000/day |
The ownership advantage: At a rented transit hub outlet, your monthly outgo is rent — which increases annually and gives you zero residual asset. At a purchased unit, your monthly outgo is EMI — which builds equity in a commercial asset whose value moves with the location. After 10 years, a rented operator has zero; a purchased operator owns a paid-up commercial unit at one of NCR's most trafficked transit intersections.
GST for F&B Businesses at ISBT Kaushambi — Key Points
Understanding your GST obligations as an F&B operator helps in pricing and compliance. These are the key GST rates applicable (verify current rates with your CA before filing):
| F&B Type | GST Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant services (AC) | 5% GST (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST) | No ITC available at 5% rate; if you opt for 18% you can claim ITC but customers pay more |
| Restaurant services (non-AC / takeaway) | 5% GST | Same rate; applicable to most QSR and chai stall formats |
| Packaged food items (selling brands) | 0–12% depending on product | Packaged snacks typically 5%; beverages 12%; fresh-cut food 0% — check HSN codes |
| GST on property purchase (Business Suite / Retail) | 12% GST on property value | GST-registered businesses can claim ITC on commercial property purchase — effectively reducing your net cost by 12% |
| FSSAI registration | Not GST — mandatory food licence | Required before you start operations; basic/state/central licence depending on turnover |
