How Golden Chick Has Become a Leader in the Chicken Restaurant Industry

If you’re comparing quick service restaurant (QSR) investment opportunities as your way of breaking into the QSR industry, you should know that Golden Chick is a leader in it. For fifty years, our menu of delicious and affordable sandwiches, sides, and meals, have been satisfying customers across the country, even despite current circumstances that make dining out more challenging; we continue to serve thousands of hungry guests every day. Here, we’ll take a brief look at some of the value propositions of the Golden Chick brand and how they’ve helped to establish us as a leader in our industry.

An Established Brand Name

What began as one restaurant in 1967 has today grown to nearly 200 — and that growth has been no accident. From the start, we knew we’d have to compete in a crowded chicken restaurant industry by offering the very best chicken tender in the business — our signature Golden Tenders™ — as well as wholesome and delicious meals and sides that are loved by all generations. We’ve never settled for anything less than the highest quality at the most affordable price, which means when you join the Golden Chick family of franchisees to open your very own restaurant, you’ll get immediate access to the recognition and respect of the Golden Chick name. That, in turn, means you won’t have to work nearly as hard to build your reputation because we’ve already done it for you! 

A Menu of Family Favorites

There’s something for everyone on the Golden Chick menu, but families in particular love what we have to offer. That’s because parents can feel comfortable knowing our Golden Tenders, Golden Roast, and Fried Chicken meals and sides feature quality ingredients prepared to please even the most finicky of eaters. Whether you’re eating solo or with the entire gang, diners are free to choose from our menu of extras, too, like hot yeast rolls, Mac& Cheese, or chocolate chip cookies. And if you’ve got a large group to feed, our Party Paks are the perfect choice. Everybody can find something to love on the Golden Chick menu!

A Comprehensive Investment

From our proven business model to our proprietary and much-loved recipes, to our team of experts who are always on hand to answer your questions, address your concerns, or listen to your feedback, a Golden Chick investment is an all-inclusive one that has stood the test of time. Now more than ever, choosing the right brand to invest in is an important decision, one that can mean the difference between failure and success. Why not partner with a brand that has the track record and experience to help you reap the rewards of our exciting QSR industry?

If you’re thinking about becoming part of the chicken restaurant industry and would like to find out more about a Golden Chick opportunity, we’re here to answer your questions, so get in touch today!

Your Grand Opening and Beyond

 
Whether you signed your franchise agreement and paid your initial franchise fee at Discovery Day or sometime soon after, we can now get started with the process of making your Golden Chick restaurant a reality.
There’s a lot involved in opening a Golden Chick restaurant. Our decades of experience give us unique insight into the steps of the process and we’re able to guide our franchisees through every step, including but not limited to:
 

  • Site selection utilizing our analytical tools to identify targeted areas that have a strong presence for a Golden Chick customer base
  • Identifying viable locations
  • Providing you with a set of Prototypical plans ready to be modified for local codes
  • An approved list of fixtures, furnishings, and equipment vendors
  • Providing a list of pre-approved engineers, architects and contractors that can assist in securing the necessary permits and permissions required to build or remodel your Golden Chick location, locally
  • Initial pre-opening training and opening support

 
These are just a few of the ways we simplify the process to assist you to achieve a successful Golden Chick restaurant opening.
 
Then, we’ll continue to work with you as your business grows, providing you with ongoing training and guidance.

Discovery Day

 
You will be invited to the Golden Chick Support Center to meet senior team members that head up corporate support functions such as training, marketing, operations, construction and supply chain. This is a great time to get answers to any questions that you’ve yet to ask. This is the team that has the answers.
 
Time is set aside for a one-on-one discussion with members of the Executive Team to get to know you, and you them. If the parties agree, Discovery Day will end with the signing of your initial franchise agreement.

Due Diligence & Proforma

 
During Step 3 you will contact as many current franchisees as you like. Ask them about their experience with Golden Chick, “why they chose the brand”. How long to build your Golden Chick? What should I pay my manager? Get the answers to your questions from Golden Chick operators that live the brand every day.
 
Next you will prepare a financial proforma for your proposed Golden Chick. We will provide you a format and guidelines that you can complete or enlist your accountant/financial advisor’s help. It is important that you understand the P&L, and your lender is going to want to know that you understand the numbers as well. Once completed, we will review together to ensure that your expectations are reasonable and realistic.

Reviewing the Details

 
Early in the process it is important for both parties to learn about each other to ensure that our goals are aligned and realistic. It is critical that potential franchisees are a good fit for the Golden Chick culture and process. You should walk away from this discussion feeling that you want to proceed to the next step.
 
If it seems like we’d be a good fit, we’ll take some time to review the details of the investment with you. You’ll be provided with a copy of our franchise disclosure document (FDD) which breaks down everything you need to know about starting a quick-service restaurant with Golden Chick. While you’re reading the fine print, we’ll learn more about your background and ensure that you’re well-qualified to become a franchisee.

Ops Assessment

 
Hosted by an Operations Training Specialist, you will attend an introduction to Golden Chick operations providing you with an overview of the restaurant layout; key employee positions in a typical Golden Chick and their responsibilities; products, systems and much more.
 
We want you leaving this 4-5 hour overview with an understanding of what it takes to deliver on the Golden Chick experience of friendly, helpful service, delicious Golden Chick meals and a clean and sanitary facility. Given the current environment, this was never more important!

Introductory Call

 
Once you contact us, we’ll be in touch soon to provide you with more details about our brand and the investment. We’ll want to know more about you and your interest in starting a Golden Chick restaurant, and we’ll let you know the basics.
