Food Franchise

US Food Franchises offer incentives

Franchisee — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 05:40:48 +0000

Within the struggling US economy a number of their largest restaurant chains are starting to establish incentives to ensure their franchise chains keep growing. There has been a head office shift from short term profits to move towards push growth into new regions and markets but also support those who are struggling.

There has been a number of moves such as cutting back royalty fees, establishing franchise lending programs to ensure the franchisees have the required finance to continue expanding. The typical food franchise operators that are jumping onboard with these ideas are the ones that experience strong revenue from new store openings and have more certainty that these new locations will succeed.

There are a number of incentive programs being offered by Papa John’s and Denny’s which include cutting franchise fees, providing equipment and discounts on purchasing stock via their official channels. It appears that Denny’s is the most aggressive in it’s growth plans over the next 5 to 6 years with around 75 to 100 new Denny’s locations being opened all supported by it’s new $100 million lending pool.

Not to be left out Wendy’s, Jack in the Box and drive-in operator SONIC have all began to start offering incentives for their franchisees who are undertaking request such as implementing new breakfast menus and developing new locations.

Star Wars Burger

Franchisee — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:48:27 +0000

The Belgium based fast food restaurant chain Quick Restaurants has shaken up the market by launching a themed Star Wars Burger. As part of the promotional campaign for Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D Quick Restaurants are offering 3 different burgers. What makes this promotion different from a standard promotions and to really capture fans attention is they are actually using food colouring in the burger buns. The Darth Vader (Dark Vador) burger is the most interesting offering a purely evil and black burger is likely going to be something that consumers will try just for the pure novelty factor without thinking about if they even like Star Wars or Burgers.

This is a wonderful food promotion to start 2012 and I hope it’s going to be emulated across the world with creative ways such as will McDonald’s or Hungry Jacks offer Sith Lord Red Frieds or Darth Vader Black Fries… will there be a green yoda milk shake?

Thank you toMintinBox for the images.

While offering coloured food items is not uncommon to a number of US based Mexican food franchises such as Taco Bell and Pancheros that offer:

Red Volcano Taco (Red Corn Tortilla)
Tortilla Chips (Blue Corn Tortilla)

The question is how will European consumers respond to a black or red burger patty and will it be exciting enough that competitors around the world will take a similar risk and offer it in their markets. During 2012 there will be a push by consumers for food franchise operators to entice them with both better quality food but also take some risks and offer something that might fail at times, it’s exciting and may the force be with you.

Lord of the Fries Franchise

Franchisee — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 08:42:49 +0000

Right from its inception in 2004, Lord of the Fries has had a unique onset. Its idea came into existence with Mandy and Mark, who came from different places but were brought closer with their love for fries. Their contempt for nasty, chemical and frozen fries was their basic need and inspiration to create fries in the perfect way – something fresh, not too thin, not too thick, not too crunchy but deliciously crunchy and saucy. This was more than enough to start off on a mission and thus was Lord of the Fries born. In 2004, Lord of the Fries landed on wheels in Melbourne. After all, what would be a better way than a mobile van of chips to reach out to people? Late in 2005, Lord of the Fries got its permanent location in the heart of Melbourne and expanded its menu overtime. It now presently has several of its restaurants located in different parts of the nation.
If you are interesting in being a part of the amazingly growing franchise, you will simply need to fill-in a registration/application form on the website, indicating some of your personal information as well as your desired location. In order to be a Lord of the Fries franchisee, you will need to have initial finances of over $300,000 to invest.
