4 Great Benefits of Starting a Restaurant Business with a Strong Franchise

Starting a restaurant business is no small endeavor. You need to come up with a menu, find the perfect location, compel customers to choose your establishment over competitors, all while managing food and labor costs and trying to make a profit. As you can see, going it alone is a lot to handle. That’s why franchising is such an exciting opportunity! When you partner with Golden Chick, you can count on us to teach you our time-tested processes, greatly simplifying your job. Here, learn about some of the best reasons to partner with a franchisor like Golden Chick. 

1. A Well-Established Brand Name

Operating under a well-known brand name is a fundamental way to attract customers to your restaurant. It can take independent owners years after starting a restaurant business to build up a reputation within their community, but franchisees partnering with brands like Golden Chick enjoy faster brand recognition. Making this choice can save you valuable time in the early days of your business, as you’re working to build up a strong customer base.  

2. Standardized Startup Procedures

While running a restaurant presents its own unique sets of challenges, starting a restaurant business can be especially difficult for newcomers without guidance. Where should you set up your restaurant? How much should your location cost? How many employees should you hire? What should you serve? These are just a few of the questions restaurant owners need to answer before they even open their doors. 

It’s at this point where an experienced franchisor like Golden Chick is especially valuable. We’ve been in business for decades and have opened over 200 locations. That means we’re able to get new restaurants up and running with less hassle. We know what to look for in a location, our menu has proven to be popular, and we know what you should aim to spend to see the strongest returns on your investment. In short, we take a lot of the guesswork out of the equation!

3. Well-Established Operating Procedures

Our support doesn’t end once your restaurant is up and running. We continue to help our franchises run smoothly with valuable resources like well-established operating procedures designed to maximize efficiency and minimize wasted resources. While many of our franchisees don’t work in their restaurants day-to-day, they are involved in the community building the local owner face of their Golden Chick image. We’ve figured out the best ways to keep employees and customers happy; so things run smoothly, whether you’re on-site daily or not.

4. Research and Development

It’s tough for independent restaurant owners to get their finger on the pulse of changing consumer tastes. With their hands full running a business, there’s not much time for research and development. But the Golden Chick corporate team has the resources to monitor industry trends for you! As a result, you can be sure that your menu and specials are likely to attract customers.

These are just a few of the benefits of starting a restaurant business with a franchisor like Golden Chick. Contact us today to learn about the opportunities in your area!

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.
