WEBVTT 00:00.100 --> 00:06.070 [TRUMPET FLOURISH] 00:06.070 --> 00:08.160 Hi, my name is Robert Bhagwandat, 00:08.160 --> 00:12.040 and I am the Director of Franchise Development for Checkers and Rally’s franchises, 00:12.040 --> 00:14.110 and welcome to Checkers and Rally’s! 00:14.110 --> 00:18.240 I wanted to have an opportunity to talk to you a little bit about our growth opportunities today. 00:18.240 --> 00:23.040 Our company is expanding, and we’re looking for the right partners to expand with. 00:23.040 --> 00:25.170 We’ve got a lot of opportunities across the United States – 00:25.170 --> 00:28.230 from California to Texas back down to Florida, 00:28.230 --> 00:32.120 with some heavy interests when we’re looking at some of the larger metropolitan areas, 00:32.120 --> 00:35.000 and even down to some of the rural markets as well, too. 00:35.000 --> 00:38.240 So if you have an interest that you’re really looking to try to get into a hamburger brand 00:38.240 --> 00:42.220 that fits a lot of different places that most other places will not go, 00:42.220 --> 00:46.250 you should definitely take a look at Checkers and Rally’s where we offer a lot of different formats 00:46.250 --> 00:49.120 for you to enter into the QSR industry 00:49.120 --> 00:52.060 that you’re not going to find in many other QSR brands 00:52.060 --> 00:54.110 when you’re looking around out there in the marketplace. 00:54.110 --> 00:58.140 Our goal is to try to get to 1,200 restaurants by 2020, 00:58.140 --> 01:02.020 so we would love to have you come on board with us to help us achieve that goal. 01:02.020 --> 01:04.040 And I think once you have an opportunity 01:04.040 --> 01:07.100 to really understand and review everything in our portfolio, 01:07.100 --> 01:11.270 why we’re one of the best cost-effective wise to be able to construct and build a new restaurant, 01:11.270 --> 01:13.280 but also from a profitability standpoint, 01:13.280 --> 01:15.280 you’re going to learn a lot more about our concept, 01:15.280 --> 01:19.150 where we have many advantages that other concepts will not provide to you 01:19.150 --> 01:22.260 in your efforts to go ahead and grow and build with a restaurant brand. 01:22.260 --> 01:26.290 The really exciting things that you’ll find with Checkers and Rally’s is 01:26.290 --> 01:30.260 we really do believe in the growth side of the franchise industry, 01:30.260 --> 01:33.040 and from that, what I think you’ll find out from us 01:33.040 --> 01:35.010 once you have an opportunity to work with us 01:35.010 --> 01:37.160 is that we actually provide incentives 01:37.160 --> 01:40.210 to help motivate our franchisees to open restaurants, 01:40.210 --> 01:42.290 not only as far as restaurant counts, 01:42.290 --> 01:44.130 but as far as timeliness 01:44.130 --> 01:47.180 where franchisees can actually look at reductions in their royalties 01:47.180 --> 01:49.180 upon their openings of their restaurants 01:49.180 --> 01:52.150 and these are continued incentives that we continue to provide to 01:52.150 --> 01:55.060 our franchisees as they continue to grow with us. 01:55.060 --> 02:00.220 We provide all levels of support to help you while you’re getting through this especially at an entry level, 02:00.220 --> 02:04.000 where you will be working with our in-house real estate team, 02:04.000 --> 02:06.050 our in-house construction team. 02:06.050 --> 02:09.250 Every franchise is assigned a Franchise Business Consultant 02:09.250 --> 02:13.120 who is almost like your second eyes to the business to help make sure 02:13.120 --> 02:16.030 that your business is on a sustainable path for growth, 02:16.030 --> 02:17.260 and that if there’s anything that comes up, 02:17.260 --> 02:22.130 that they’re also that second voice to help catch any type of errors that may be out there. 02:22.130 --> 02:26.280 But one of the things that you’ll find out about Checkers and Rally’s is that this is a very full, 02:26.280 --> 02:29.000 family atmosphere organization. 02:29.000 --> 02:32.020 We really do believe in the franchisee’s best interests 02:32.020 --> 02:35.050 and I think you’ll find that out once you have a chance to meet with all the different disciplines 02:35.050 --> 02:38.010 and the people that you would work with in this company: 02:38.010 --> 02:40.090 that people really do care about your business. 02:40.090 --> 02:42.160 They want to make sure that you’re successful cause 02:42.160 --> 02:45.110 at the end of the day, if a franchisee is not successful, 02:45.110 --> 02:46.220 we’re not successful. 02:46.220 --> 02:51.040 So it is in our best interest to make sure that you’re going to see that return to your bottom line, 02:51.040 --> 02:54.290 and everybody is in all-in mode to make sure that that support is delivered to you as a 02:54.290 --> 02:57.150 franchisee and part of this organization. 02:57.150 --> 03:01.200 And again, once you have an opportunity to meet with the CEO of the company 03:01.200 --> 03:03.230 down to the FBC that you’ll work with, 03:03.230 --> 03:08.200 everybody in between really does believe in delivering that profitability to your bottom line. 03:08.200 --> 03:12.010 There is very few concepts out there that I will challenge you 03:12.010 --> 03:14.050 to take a look at and do a comparison 03:14.050 --> 03:19.080 to find where there’s a concept that can match what we deliver as far as a return on investment is concerned. 03:19.080 --> 03:22.270 And again, when you have an executive team and an entire organization 03:22.270 --> 03:26.170 that’s fully backed to make sure that we are delivering on that mantra, 03:26.170 --> 03:29.110 and that you are getting that strong return on your investment, 03:29.110 --> 03:33.240 I think that’s what a lot of franchise investors and franchise operators are really looking for, 03:33.240 --> 03:36.270 is someone that has their back – not only on the brand itself, 03:36.270 --> 03:41.140 but to make sure that you’re going to see that return on your investment and have a profit to your bottom line. 03:41.280 --> 03:44.020 [WHOOSH OF TEXT FLYING IN] 03:44.020 --> 03:47.060
