YOUR CONCEPT

What Are You
Known For?
Who Are Your
Ideal Guests?
How Do You
WOW Them?

In the past most companies wouldn’t even consider a franchise model until
they had a few restaurants. Today if even one location is doing well,
Franchise companies are quick to expand before their competition does.
It is important to treat your restaurant as if it were a larger entity whether it is
or not. You must manage all aspects such as food, staff, service, decor and
marketing as a part of your overall brand.
There are 3 main reasons to treat your restaurant as a franchise model.
1. PROFESSIONALISM - Allows you to WOW your guests as well as
compete against other larger players.
2. CONSISTENCY - Helps set up systems and standards to create a great
customer experience every time.
3. GROWTH - Provides an expansion plan for the future. It is always easier
to update on an ongoing basis than to fix things later.

What do your
guests want
most from you?

Once you think about expanding, it is important to know that what works
one place may not work for all. It is mandatory that you understand your
target market and find that audience. Or perhaps you may need to adjust
for those who are in the new location you select.
Anyone up for a Chicken Akatougarashi from McDonald’s in Japan?

TRADEMARK

Before Franchising
Make sure to
Trademark your
NAME and LOGO

PROTECT YOURSELF...
You don’t want to be on the road to expansion with everything in motion and
realize that you are not able to grow into other territories. Or even worse
have someone stop you from using your name.
As a start go to

uspto.gov and
do a preliminary
trademark search.
You may also file there
but we recommend
getting an attorney.

  • 4. 1 YOUR CONCEPT What Are You Known For? Who Are Your Ideal Guests? How Do You WOW Them? In the past most companies wouldn’t even consider a franchise model until they had a few restaurants. Today if even one location is doing well, Franchise companies are quick to expand before their competition does. It is important to treat your restaurant as if it were a larger entity whether it is or not. You must manage all aspects such as food, staff, service, decor and marketing as a part of your overall brand. There are 3 main reasons to treat your restaurant as a franchise model. 1. PROFESSIONALISM - Allows you to WOW your guests as well as compete against other larger players. 2. CONSISTENCY - Helps set up systems and standards to create a great customer experience every time. 3. GROWTH - Provides an expansion plan for the future. It is always easier to update on an ongoing basis than to fix things later. TM Inspiring People to Love Your Brand
