Food Franchise

Posts Tagged ‘Food Franchise’

To run a successful business, regardless of what type of business it is, you must get to know your customers, especially your regular or repeating customers. The quandary for many business owners and managers is how to do this.

First of all, just be pleasant. No one wants to do business and even fewer want to get to know someone who is a sour-puss all the time. Most of all, don’t complain. The customer did not come to hear your problems, they came to get their problem solved. Just be pleasant and genuinely interested in them and what it is you can provide for them.

This leads in to the next tip, which is to always provide the best service possible, and go out of your way to serve your return customers. I know one manager of a fast food franchise that does this almost daily. This particular franchise serves only Coke products. One of his elder customers made the comment (jokingly) that he liked Diet Pepsi. Now in a personal cooler that manager keeps a bottle of Diet Pepsi and any time that customer comes in, he hands him the drink. I just happened to be having lunch with the man, and you would have thought the manager had just moved a mountain. Now bringing that drink cost the manager about $1.00, but will probably bring hundreds if not thousands to the business do to this one generous step.

Get to know your customers personally. Ask them about their jobs and their families. If you hear one of their kids are sick, be sure to ask them, “How’s Nick doing?” This is a matter of simply asking the question and paying attention to the answer.

Finally, always remember that your customers are members of a certain community. Become a part of that community. Let people see you out and about. Shopping at their stores and going to their kid’s activities even if none of yours are involved is an excellent way to get to know your customers and potential customers. I make it a point at least once or twice a week to just walk down the main streets of my town and wave and say hello to as many people as possible.

Remember, word of mouth is the original and the least expensive form of marketing. If you take care of your customers, get to know them and make them feel at home at your business, then they will want their friends to experience this treatment. Take care of your customers and your customers will take care of you.

Do you remember a time when life was simple? with every possible means, and method directed to help us get the job done quickly why ?tell me is our world in such a mess. Do we need another cleaning gadget, more disposable products, perhaps another take out food storage container or yet another fast food franchise.

Oh my friends the world is out of control, and we are at the helm. Going back to my childhood when everyone seemed to live the same life moms at home cooking, dads off to work

5 children 2 parents lived in 4 rooms. The house kept clean, and neat all our clothing fit in one dresser, and your neighbors watched over you. Sundays the aromas filled the air as everyone marched in their Sunday best to church, and dinner was grand, shared with family, and friends. Coffee and cake served for the grown up conversations, and everyone cared about the less fortunate, and struggling families in the neighborhood. Each family devoted their best talents and efforts to replace all that money could never buy. Today we send checks to feel good about what we do, perhaps we donate to a worthy cause or two while we spend most of our time trying to make time with every possible gadget created to make our life easier dishwashers, washers, dryers ,cell phone, cars that guide you to ,and from, and yet we are a lost generation of fools, lost in the greed, and need to have more, than we need, and enough to store sky high in Tupperware containers of every color for every season. People look around you Glaciers melting ,the poor remain starving, we cant cure the common cold ,yet people get rich everyday selling us yet another idea, another toy, electronic, or must have pair of shoes do we need another perfume ,while the world stinks from the pollution we helped create? if we are to correct the wrong done to our world we must begin one person at a time. Lets begin together by taking a look around your home toys piled in the corners, the garage piled high in containers of stuff stored away, shed filled to the brim with tools never used while people will never know the simple luxury of toilet paper that we stock pile in the hall closet . People how can we control our children when the choices we have made are out of control? Suddenly 2500 square foot house seems small and there’s never enough space? I wish everyday to go back to that place and time when the only worry i had was who i was going to play with outside while i watched mom wash and hang clothes on the lines and i never thought about anything other than loving my life my family my friends

You know you want to open a food franchise, but which one will be the most successful in your particular community? Don’t just guess what locals want-go out there and find out! We’ve all heard the old adage about where “assuming” will get you. There is no need to guess what people in your area will want and then lie awake at night wondering if you guessed correctly. All you need to do is get out into the community and gather some information from your future patrons.

Reach community members:
You won’t be able to talk to every person in your city or town, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get his or her opinion. The key is to get them excited about the ability to shape their community. Compile a list of food franchise opportunities that you’re considering and hit the streets to discover what your community wants.

It would take too long to chat with each person individually. Instead, have your list printed on a door hanger and leave them in the areas within the communities that you’re hoping to target. Door hangers can be printed for as little as $179 for 3,000-much less than not doing any market research at all. In order to collect the results, set up a temporary 800 line that people can call in and vote for their top choices.

Talk to local area businesses:
One great place to begin is local area office buildings and businesses. A large majority of people who work outside of the home eat out for lunch 5 days a week, 50 or more weeks a year. You’ll find that many business owners and HR departments are willing to assist you in gathering the information because employee lunches and break times can cause a productivity problem for employers as well-especially if there are no restaurants nearby.

Start by gathering some menus from potential franchise opportunities. Condense each menu down to its essence, make some copies, and attach a survey to the menus to find out which one most people feel they would enjoy most. You’ll also want to ask questions like “how long of a break do you have for lunch” and “do you normally get your lunch to go or eat at a restaurant,” and “how far are you willing to drive to pick up lunch?” Answers to these questions will likely make the choice crystal clear.

Talk to event planners:
Take a look in the events section of your community newspaper and see what types of events are taking place. Most likely, every one of these events includes food that is brought in from somewhere else. Find out which groups and organizations regularly hold events and talk to them about the kind of new food selections they would like to offer their guests that is currently lacking in the community.

Getting to know those with lots of exposure in the community and drawing them into the decision making process is a smart move from a public relations perspective. Get in good with these influential, big ticket buyers now-before your food franchise has even opened. Talk to them about catering events and perhaps offer a discount for the ability to display your food franchise’s name next to the selections.

Talking to prospective patrons beforehand gives you a unique opportunity to advertise your new restaurant after it’s up and running. Once your food franchise is open for business, you can return to those that you talked with to thank them for their participation in shaping the community. Make sure to bring lots of money saving coupons that not only thank those who helped by giving their opinions, but also encourage traffic.
