How much work is involved for me?
-
Not a lot of work is required from the franchisees mainly because the business set up is already in place and all the franchisee needs to do is follow our guidelines.
Irrespective of their previous work experience, Franchisees are trained by us to be managers of their units and we ensure they are guided every step of the way to setting up and running their own business.

How are your Franchises holding up in a turbulent financial climate?
-
People sitll want to eat out, but economically - we fit the bill!
In support of our franchisees we are constantly developing strategies and introducing ways that our franchisees can maximise their profits and stay ahead of the game.

-
How do you intend to keep up this momentum?
-
Chicken Cottage invest heavily in research and development and marketing and both management and franchisees share the costs as well as the rewards and benefits. These economies of scale reflect on all our balance sheets.
By anticipating customers' real needs and reacting to an evolving society we have seen a rapid growth in the number or our restaurants (and, therefore, our business) around the world.
-
-
Does a franchisee tend to just put in a manager?
-
We encourage our franchisees to be moderately involved in their operations - it's not tough but requires dedication and commitment.
The reason we want our franchisees to manage their stores themselves is because a store run by the owner has less costs and therefore a higher profit margin than that of a store run by a manager.
