"not starting from scratch" joining mode
"Not starting from scratch" means that KFC transfers an already operated and acquired store to a qualified applicant and allows it to continue operating under the KFC brand. Moreover, franchisees don't need to build a lot of work in the initial stage of opening a store, which is greatly reduced.
Franchisees can only choose from KFC's "alternative franchise stores" and cannot designate them by themselves. At present, franchisees are temporarily closed in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
How much is the joining fee of KFC?
At first, the joining price of KFC was 8 million yuan, but later, in order to attract more smart choices in China, the price was reduced to 2 million yuan. The specific joining fee depends on the specific area selected by smart choices.
In addition to the upfront expenses, there are also the joining fees and advertising service fees that need to be invested in the later period, which are charged according to a certain proportion of the turnover.
Kfc joining conditions
As a well-known brand, there are certain restrictions on the conditions of franchisees. Because there are so many people applying to join, the middle process takes a long time, about half a year. During this period, KFC will conduct a series of interviews and internships for franchisees, as well as personal ability surveys and so on.
Franchisees of KFC may not have rich experience in catering industry, but they need to have strong management ability, understand business rules and customer first service concept. There are no restrictions on the age and nationality of franchisees, and they must have good Chinese communication skills, study hard, adapt hard, and grow up with KFC during the ten-year contract period. In addition, franchisees must personally handle the daily operation and management of the whole restaurant, and may not find others to replace them.
The above are the joining fees and conditions of KFC compiled by Bian Xiao for everyone. I believe that now everyone has a more specific understanding of the "not starting from scratch" franchise model. In order to maintain its brand image, KFC is also cautious about opening franchise stores, and the relative conditions are relatively strict. Therefore, a wise person should carefully weigh whether he is ready or not before deciding to join.
