Hi, my name is Robert Bhagwandat,
and I am the Director of Franchise Development for Checkers and Rally’s franchises,
and welcome to Checkers and Rally’s!
I wanted to have an opportunity to talk to you a little bit about our growth opportunities today.
Our company is expanding, and we’re looking for the right partners to expand with.
We’ve got a lot of opportunities across the United States –
from California to Texas back down to Florida,
with some heavy interests when we’re looking at some of the larger metropolitan areas,
and even down to some of the rural markets as well, too.
So if you have an interest that you’re really looking to try to get into a hamburger brand
that fits a lot of different places that most other places will not go,
you should definitely take a look at Checkers and Rally’s where we offer a lot of different formats
for you to enter into the QSR industry
that you’re not going to find in many other QSR brands
when you’re looking around out there in the marketplace.
Our goal is to try to get to 1,200 restaurants by 2020,
so we would love to have you come on board with us to help us achieve that goal.
And I think once you have an opportunity
to really understand and review everything in our portfolio,
why we’re one of the best cost-effective wise to be able to construct and build a new restaurant,
but also from a profitability standpoint,
you’re going to learn a lot more about our concept,
where we have many advantages that other concepts will not provide to you
in your efforts to go ahead and grow and build with a restaurant brand.
The really exciting things that you’ll find with Checkers and Rally’s is
we really do believe in the growth side of the franchise industry,
and from that, what I think you’ll find out from us
once you have an opportunity to work with us
is that we actually provide incentives
to help motivate our franchisees to open restaurants,
not only as far as restaurant counts,
but as far as timeliness
where franchisees can actually look at reductions in their royalties
upon their openings of their restaurants
and these are continued incentives that we continue to provide to
our franchisees as they continue to grow with us.
We provide all levels of support to help you while you’re getting through this especially at an entry level,
where you will be working with our in-house real estate team,
our in-house construction team.
Every franchise is assigned a Franchise Business Consultant
who is almost like your second eyes to the business to help make sure
that your business is on a sustainable path for growth,
and that if there’s anything that comes up,
that they’re also that second voice to help catch any type of errors that may be out there.
But one of the things that you’ll find out about Checkers and Rally’s is that this is a very full,
family atmosphere organization.
We really do believe in the franchisee’s best interests
and I think you’ll find that out once you have a chance to meet with all the different disciplines
and the people that you would work with in this company:
that people really do care about your business.
They want to make sure that you’re successful cause
at the end of the day, if a franchisee is not successful,
we’re not successful.
So it is in our best interest to make sure that you’re going to see that return to your bottom line,
and everybody is in all-in mode to make sure that that support is delivered to you as a
franchisee and part of this organization.
And again, once you have an opportunity to meet with the CEO of the company
down to the FBC that you’ll work with,
everybody in between really does believe in delivering that profitability to your bottom line.
There is very few concepts out there that I will challenge you
to take a look at and do a comparison
to find where there’s a concept that can match what we deliver as far as a return on investment is concerned.
And again, when you have an executive team and an entire organization
that’s fully backed to make sure that we are delivering on that mantra,
and that you are getting that strong return on your investment,
I think that’s what a lot of franchise investors and franchise operators are really looking for,
is someone that has their back – not only on the brand itself,
but to make sure that you’re going to see that return on your investment and have a profit to your bottom line.
