Hey I founded and built a Fast-food brand known for its supreme taste, creative menu concepts and engaging social media presence. I handled pretty much everything from Marketing and Branding to being the Head Chef deducing recipes and in the later phases also built SOPs.

Context

The BRB Café was my entrepreneurial venture – a fast-food café I founded in October 2021. The vision was simple: Build a café experience that blended great food with strong storytelling and design. Within 16 months, The BRB Café became a local favourite, achieved high recall value, and was profitably sold.

Problem

Create a new food brand in a competitive local market dominated by established players.

Build brand identity and digital presence from scratch with minimal funding.

Increase footfall organically through creative design and storytelling instead of paid ads.

When conceptualizing the brand, I wanted the name “BRB” to be more than a trendy abbreviation but it needed a story.

  • Logo & Visual Identity

    Crafted a logo that blended fun and familiarity — instantly connecting with the café’s youthful audience.

  • Menu Design & Concept

    Created bold, high-contrast designs that reflected energy and appetite.

  • Posters, Standees & Banners

    Designed in-store visuals and promotional collateral to create a cohesive visual environment.

  • Packaging & Merch

    Added quirky quotes and iconography inside the café to make it “Instagrammable.”

Key Learnings

Building BRB Café taught me that branding goes beyond design – it’s about emotion, experience, and trust.

 

I learned how visual identity and content consistency directly translate to revenue, engagement, and long-term brand recall.
