Request Partnership ProposalTraditional Public Toilets Are Broken
Brick-and-mortar municipal toilets become unusable within months. Here's why — and how LooCafe solves it.
No Revenue Model
Traditional toilets are pure cost centers. No revenue = no maintenance budget = rapid deterioration.
No Accountability
Government-operated toilets have no one responsible. Cleaners don't show up. Complaints go unanswered.
Perpetual Drain
₹3-8L to build + ₹15-40K/month forever. After 5 years: ₹17L spent, zero revenue, unusable facility.
Odor & Hygiene
No sensors, no monitoring. Cleaning happens 1-2x/day (if lucky). Women avoid them entirely.
Vandalism
Unsupervised facilities attract vandalism and misuse. Fixtures stolen, walls defaced within months.
Abandoned
Most municipal toilets are locked, abandoned, or so filthy they're avoided. Wasted public investment.
LooCafe Solves Every Problem
- ✓ Revenue-generating: ₹68K-1.25L/month from café + ads. Covers all costs + profit.
- ✓ Staff on-site 24/7: Café operator has financial incentive to keep facility clean.
- ✓ 15+ IoT sensors: Stink sensors, footfall counters, auto-alerts for cleaning.
- ✓ FREE for users: No barrier to access. Dignified sanitation for all.
- ✓ 5-year profit: ₹8L net profit vs ₹17L loss with traditional model.
Service Level Commitments
Unlike traditional municipal contracts, LooCafe commits to measurable service levels with accountability.
Uptime Guarantee
Facilities operational and accessible. Monitored via IoT sensors 24/7.
Response Time
Critical issues addressed within 30 minutes. Staff on-site for immediate response.
Cleaning Schedule
Minimum 4 deep cleans daily. Additional cleaning triggered by IoT sensors.
Consumables
Water, soap, tissue always available. Auto-alerts when supplies low.
Built-In Accountability
Every LooCafe unit has a café operator whose livelihood depends on maintaining the facility. This creates natural accountability that no government contract can replicate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about partnering with LooCafe
How does LooCafe partner with government?
LooCafe operates through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model with municipalities. We invest in building and maintaining toilet infrastructure (Rs 15-18 lakh per unit) while providing free-to-use facilities for citizens. The government provides land allocation and necessary permissions. Our first work order (685/SWM/SBM/GHMC/2018) was awarded in September 2018, establishing a partnership model that has grown to 150+ units in Hyderabad alone.
What official approvals does LooCafe have?
LooCafe has 127+ documented official letters from government authorities spanning 2018-2024, including: 17 space allocation approvals, 16 unit movement permissions, 23 special approvals, 27 utility connection approvals, and 44 tender-related documents. We operate with full authorization from GHMC and comply with all municipal regulations.
How can municipalities partner with LooCafe?
Municipalities interested in deploying LooCafe units can partner through our PPP model. We handle the complete process: site assessment, custom toilet design, installation, and long-term maintenance. The model is self-sustainable through integrated commerce (chai/retail), requiring zero maintenance burden on the government. Contact us at chakks@ixoragroup.com or book a consultation to discuss partnership opportunities.
What is the investment model?
LooCafe invests Rs 15-18 lakh per unit in building and deploying facilities. To date, we have invested approximately Rs 10 crores in the Hyderabad GHMC project alone. The units are self-sustainable through the OPEX model, generating revenue through tasteful advertisements and integrated commerce, making them financially viable without ongoing government funding.
What cities does LooCafe currently operate in?
LooCafe currently operates 350+ units across 10+ cities including Hyderabad (270+ locations with GHMC), Srinagar, Chennai, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Patna, Pune, Indore, and Mohali. We are expanding to new municipalities that align with our mission of providing dignified, accessible public sanitation.
How does LooCafe ensure compliance with government standards?
All LooCafe units meet and exceed government sanitation standards. We maintain a dedicated supervisory team monitoring each location, conduct regular inspections, and ensure compliance with all municipal regulations. Our facilities include features like universal accessibility, water recycling, solar power capability, and IoT-enabled monitoring systems.
