Hungry Bunny Franchising
Concept Criteria
Franchising is the most popular
system for growing a business today. With new markets emerging,
franchise opportunities are surfacing and gaining momentum. This
is reflected in the growing number of local and international
“Franchisor” in the Arab world regions, be it the Levant, the
Gulf or North Africa, as well as an equally growing interest on
the franchisee front by interested “Franchisees” eager to
acquire a Saudi Franchise and start up their own branch
operations.
At Hungry Bunny we believe that it is becoming clear that
“Franchising” is bound to become the business of the new century
and thus for the interested party to find the right franchise is
hard work because there are so many issues to consider, choices
to make, and questions to ask.
The Arab world is fast becoming
more receptive to “Franchising” when it comes to Fast Food and
the restaurant industry; therefore to be successful in
franchising it is vital to understand the advantages of
“Franchising” in general.
At Hungry Bunny we have
developed the required criteria to grant a franchise:
There are many factors involved in
determining the appropriate terms and conditions under which we
Hungry Bunny would grant you (the franchisee) the
right to start up a Hungry Bunny Branch. (For specific details
please refer to the Franchise Offer Circular or Franchise
Agreement).
These factors include,
1. The
company profile of the Franchisee and line of business to
determine whether Hungry Bunny would be a good addition to your
own portfolio.
2. The
social and economic status situation in the country where the
franchise is to be operated. Focus is placed on the size and
growth of the middle class.
3. The
size and characteristic of the potential market place based on
an analysis of the population such as age, gender, professions,
etc.
4. The
market demand for the Hungry Bunny Menu.
5. The
results of a comprehensive feasibility study, conducted by both
the Franchisor and Franchise which would determine the financial
payback of the investment to be made. The study would require a
visit by the Franchisor to inspect proposed locations for the
Hungry Bunny branches by the Franchisee.
The above information can pave the
way for specific details to be addressed leading to the final
Franchise Agreement.
Obviously, it is preferable that (you) the franchisee has
previous experience in the F & B, Fast Food sector and
has a team to grow and expand the franchise, especially in the
local market. However, it is not a must because of
our comprehensive training program based on our Hungry Bunny
‘operator-friendly’ concept and our extensive management
training program provides the ongoing guidance for the franchise
personnel.
In turn we prepare you, or
you’re designate to manage and operate a Hungry Bunny
branch and provide you with the best support at all times
including recognized customer service techniques and simplified
staff training and management.
The advantages offered to you (the
franchisee) include the well known trade name of Hungry Bunny,
continuous research and development of new items, national Pan
Arab market analysis, economies of scale in buying, professional
training and many more.
At Hungry Bunny we have built our
‘International-Pan Arab’ Franchise policy based on
defining the roles and responsibilities of both Franchisee and
Franchisor described in detail in the Franchise Offer
Circular and / or Franchise Agreement.
Our role as Franchisor
is to provide the product or service, the management system, the
operating manuals, the training manuals, assist in the pre and
post opening of the outlet, a follow up system on a monthly
basis to check that your branch is successful and our standards
are well implemented and respected.
The role of the
Franchisee is to maintain full
management responsibility, including logistics, being assisted
by the support of our Hungry Bunny International team members so
as to run efficiently the franchise outlet. It is essential that
the franchise candidate be a high-energy individual eager to
become a hands-on franchise operator.
Investment

that all costs are an important and vital component of any
Franchise package. Thus, the cost involved in acquiring a Hungry
Bunny Franchise is based on the territory of the Master
