Being a restaurateur, Maninder Kalsi had felt the heat in restaurant supply procurements. Issues like long waiting time, unorganised bills, missing invoice, outdated deals and last moment order cancellations have been the most common headache triggers for restaurant owners when it comes to supply procurements. Spotting the gap, Maninder sprung on his toes to start developing an online solution that would serve as a one-stop platform for businesses to purchase restaurant supplies at best prices. That was the birth of ChfMart.

Founded in 2020 by Maninder Kalsi and Kavita Verma, ChfMart has been bringing whiffs of respite to the restaurateurs in the region by providing them a hassle-free option to just place the orders and wait for the supplies to be delivered at the doorstep. ChfMart has partnered with local farmers, vendors as well as major brands catering to restaurant supplies to make the best items available to the restaurants at affordable prices, with assurance of timely delivery and an uncomplicated payment process.

ChfMart automatically creates different orders for different vendors instantly with real time updates on the dashboard. Restaurants can review the orders and make the pending payments with ease. The App has also introduced a Savings Calculator, which the restaurants can use to calculate the amount saved on an average.

Despite being hardly 2-year old, ChfMart has gained impressive traction and has clocked a revenue of over Rs.1.4 Cr this financial year (March-February’21). To date, the Startup has served 282 local restaurants in Guwahati and 52 from other states of North East India, including national chains like PVR, Hard Rock Café, Barbeque Nation, INOX, MBA Chai Wala, Chai Sutta Bar and Fat Tiger, among others.
