We, at Chicken Cottage, have a proven track record in the fast food industry. We have established ourselves as one of the pioneers in the fast food chicken segment in the UK and we are now focused on international development.

One thing that we can establish is that people have to eat. However, to be successful in this industry one has to offer what the customer wants and therefore be (a) approachable (b) accessible and (c) affordable. Chicken Cottage is a great choice for the mass market consumer base and you seriously cannot go wrong with chicken as this is the No. 1 consumed protein globally.

The public demands value for money and quality and at Chicken Cottage we not only meet but exceed these demands. We constantly strive to rise above the traditional ‘fast food joint’ image to evoke a more discerning dining experience in both our product offering, the ambience of the venue, value for money and overall guest experience.

Our proven franchise model ensures that franchisees do not have to learn the hard way and start from scratch as we have already done the hard work to establish a sustainable and profitable business model.

Over the last 30+ years we have developed a strong and positive brand identity, and this has raised the company profile and established a sustainable long-term presence in an increasingly competitive market. Our success is demonstrated by the company’s substantial profit margin capabilities thus ensuring a serious return for your investment if you decide to join this business.

It is recognized that our sector of the food industry is ‘bucking the trend’ and reporting a healthy growth rate despite the challenging financial times that we face today. Unlike many other types of restaurant franchises our business model is relatively simple to operate and straight forward to set up and we provide you with all the tools to succeed.

Since eating food is a necessity, the fast food industry is a lucrative business and one that will always generate a profitable income. It attracts individuals from all walks of life, whether it is the young, the old, students, or a treat for the whole family. The fast food segment is recognized as an important option for the mass market in terms of price point, speed of service, quality and convenience.

1. We only use Fresh, Grade A, Hormone & Antibiotic Free Chicken. Today’s educated consumer wants value for money but they too want quality and this is where we stand out amongst the crowd in terms of quality.  We do not use any frozen protein including the nuggets and strips which are all breaded to order using fresh chicken breast.  We have little or no competition in this space.
2. We have an extensive grilled chicken component which gives our menu diversity, choice and accessibility to the consumer. Today, our sales of grilled chicken represent 60% of our sales mix and this is a great indication of what the consumer wants. By offering both fried and grilled chicken we give our customers many options to choose from.  In fact, we have over 50 menu options and the grilled chicken offering is extensive including grilled chicken pieces, grilled chicken wraps, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken burgers, grilled chicken with and grilled chicken on a salad.  We have little or no competition in this space.  
3. Our business model is home delivery driven. Today, more than ever, consumers are looking for convenience as well as value for money and at Chicken Cottage, we have developed a comprehensive home delivery model including our own online ordering portal which gives back loyalty points to customers for each transaction made online. Additionally, we partner with all the usual delivery aggregators.  
4. Since we are home delivery driven we do not require large real estate which puts a huge burden on managing rental costs.  Additionally having a smaller footprint means lower manpower overheads and therefore putting less pressure on breakeven.  Chicken Cottage works very well in high density residential and commercial areas and doesn’t have to be situated in expensive high street or mall spaces.  Being in a mall also has restrictions in terms of operating hours especially with our home delivery model where we generally operate until the early hours of the morning.
5. It’s all about the taste!  As our tagline states, we stand out with our quality and flavour profile which is unique and appeals to the Western, Middle Eastern and Asian palate.  We do not compromise on quality with all the ingredients that we use.  Whilst we may be fast food we are not junk food and the value for money proposition driven by quality and an accessible price point give us a winning formula.

For an estimated upfront investment of between £200,000 – £250,000 you can setup a Chicken Cottage franchise unit depending on its size. This would include and not limited to design fees, shop fitting, signage, kitchen equipment, furniture, IT, working capital, marketing fund and pre-operating expenses.

People still want to eat out and since we offer a value for money proposition we generally appeal to the mass market.

Chicken is the No. 1 consumed protein in the world so we know that we meet the majority of dietary and religious beliefs. In terms of support for our franchisees we are constantly developing strategies and introducing ways that our franchisees can maximize their profits and stay ahead of the game.

Chicken Cottage invests heavily in research, development and marketing. Therefore, both management and franchisees share the costs as well as the rewards and benefits.
