question 2: advantages and disadvantages of chain store system: 21 points: chain stores are divided into franchise chains and direct chain stores; First of all, I will give you a brief introduction to direct chain and franchise chain. To put it bluntly, direct chain means that all stores, assets and employees belong to one boss or group; The franchise chain is that the brand is initiated by one person, and others are allowed to join after charging a little franchise fee, that is to say, the franchise chain stores are not all the same boss or group. Advantages of 111111 direct chain: centralized management and unified thinking, which can establish a good brand effect and reputation; 11111 Disadvantages: Because there is only one person or group of funds, the expansion is slow, and many common problems of large enterprises, such as bureaucracy, are prone to occur. Advantages of 11111 franchise chain: the capital does not need to be too large, it can be expanded quickly, and the technology can be enjoyed; 1111 Disadvantages: If a store is not well managed, it will affect the image of the brand. It is not easy to manage because it is fragmented. If the headquarters or sponsors want to make all the stores work in one direction, it is difficult to do so. For example, the new California beef noodles we know have been changed to Mr. Li beef noodles, but they can't be controlled technically, so they can't be controlled in management. Some people who split up are still called California beef noodles in order to save money, so it is difficult to manage. I hope it helps you.

question 3: what's the difference between a flagship store and a chain store? Chain stores include flagship stores, which are just one of the chain stores. The flagship store you mentioned is calculated according to the size of the stores. I run a pet shop, and I am a pet baby. They are divided into boutiques, standard stores and flagship stores according to the area of their stores.

Remember to adopt it.

Question 5: What is the chain industry? Chain operation is a form of business organization and management system, which means that several enterprises operating similar goods or services form a consortium in a certain form, carry out specialized division of labor under the overall planning, and implement centralized management on the basis of division of labor, so as to combine independent business activities into a whole scale operation, thus realizing scale benefits. It is a business model.

the chain operation is mainly "three links".

first, even the brand

brand can be said to be the life of chain enterprises, but it can be said to be the guarantee of service and quality of chain enterprises. The reason why chain enterprises can get sustained and rapid development is, to a certain extent, the process in which the brand effect of chain enterprises is constantly expanding.

therefore, as a chain enterprise, brand chain is particularly important, and even it should be placed in a relatively central position.

second, even the standardization of standards

can be said to be a characteristic of chain enterprises. In chain enterprises, standardization is the basic principle to ensure the low-cost operation of enterprises, and it is the premise of large-scale and efficient operation of distribution centers and procurement functional departments, which is closely related to the uniqueness and clarity of strategic objectives. Moreover, if chain stores want to systematically manage subordinate branches and franchisees, they need simpler ways and shorter ways, and simpler procedures to complete complex problems. Undoubtedly, standardization is a good way. Chain enterprises are called chains because the standards of enterprises are reproducible. There are many contents of standardization. There are mainly the following types:

1. Store standardization. No matter how an enterprise expands, it must formulate its own main business format, and have standardized stores, requiring unified management, unified purchase, unified logo, unified training, unified promotion, unified price and unified service. In this way, it is conducive to maintaining the unified brand image of the enterprise and ensuring consumers' unified and clear understanding of the brand. Personalized stores will result in de facto single-store operation, and it is difficult to realize real chain management. If a single store is required to adopt personalized competition methods for different business districts, and the utilization efficiency of commodity inventory funds is the responsibility of the store, the operation of the whole enterprise will ultimately depend on the operating performance of each single store, and at the same time it will inevitably bring difficulties in expansion and management, which is contrary to the realization of rapid expansion and scale benefits through chain operation.

2. business process standardization. The standardization of process needs to be single, simple and fixed. Including standardization of sales, standardization of inventory, standardization of settlement methods and standardization of customer service, etc. The benefits of business process standardization are obvious. First of all, it helps to ensure the clarity of brand positioning and the effective management of brands. Secondly, this will also help the headquarters to strengthen the assessment and management of branches and franchisees.

the premise of business process standardization is the standardization of stores. If all the shops are personalized, the management of each shop can't be unified, and it depends more on "rule by man" than "rule by law", which makes the management more random and eventually leads to a chaotic situation without process.

3. Standardization of management methods. The standardization of the management mode of chain enterprises mainly includes the unified training of the main managers of distribution or franchisees by the headquarters of the enterprise, and the performance evaluation of each branch, mainly using indicators such as sales volume and brand contribution rate. An important feature of the standardization of management mode is to speak with numbers, so it is also called management digitalization. Although it is not the best to manage an enterprise with numbers, the generation of data is the most real. If we can systematically collect, sort out, refine and analyze the data to form an information processing system that can guide the operation, no matter who has experience or not, as long as we can make a correct understanding of the operation through the data, our management will be more simplified, and the transparency and controllability of management will be greatly improved, which will be very different from our management and operation based on personal experience.

Third, even culture

Cultural chain is the highest realm of chain. Because the chain operation is not as strict as the general enterprise, it belongs to a loose "federal" organization consortium, and the headquarters gives branches or franchisees greater rights. Therefore, it is more difficult for headquarters to implement effective management for branches or franchisees. At this time, in addition to the standardized management we mentioned before, there must also be cultural management. The content of cultural management mainly includes two aspects:

First, cultivate the sense of identity of branches and franchisees on enterprise vision, concept and enterprise values, cultivate the sense of ownership of chain brands by branches and franchisees, and increase the centripetal force and cohesion of chain enterprises, so as to ..... > >

question 6: what conditions must be met to become a brand chain store! An enterprise preparing to develop chain operation should have at least the following conditions: strong funds; Unique trade names and trademarks; Successful pilot operation practice; A set of standardized management system and operation manual developed by this enterprise.

The following conditions will be discussed one by one:

(1) Sufficient financial strength;

The large-scale operation of modern chain stores requires a quick and efficient information exchange system between headquarters and grass-roots stores. The operation, sales and inventory information of all links in grass-roots stores should be continuously collected at the headquarters, and the headquarters should analyze, process and give information feedback in the shortest possible time. All this can only be done by modern data processing system. Because management information may involve thousands of kinds of goods, styles, prices, sales, etc., computer networking will be an inevitable choice. To this end, a large one-time investment is necessary. In addition, if the headquarters of chain stores want to develop and maintain its position as a winner and pioneer in the market competition, it is necessary to concentrate a group of well-trained retail experts to undertake the strategic decision-making, commodity planning and procurement functions of the whole enterprise. This means the early intellectual investment as the headquarters of chain stores.

all kinds of chain stores (formal chain, franchise chain and free chain form) need to ensure a unified image in consumers' minds, no matter how centralized they are. Pre-investment in advertising, promotion, public relations, planning and store design is also essential. Although in the future chain operation, many stores can share the expenses of advertising and promotion, but before opening chain stores. This series of expenses must be borne by the store that will be the headquarters of chain stores in the future.

Without sufficient funds, there is no condition to develop chain operation; Regular chain stores need to rely entirely on their own capital for expansion. Although franchise chains and free chain stores can use the capital of franchisees or franchisees in opening new stores, as franchisees and franchisees' headquarters, they lack sufficient financial strength to attract franchisees and franchisees.

(2) Unique trade mark and good reputation.

a commercial enterprise engaged in chain operation should be the winner in the market competition first, with its own unique trade mark and corporate image and a certain commercial reputation. A well-known trade mark and a good reputation of an enterprise are the signs of enterprise success and valuable intangible assets of an enterprise. As a developer of chain stores, having a unique trade mark and good reputation is one of the signs of the maturity of a chain store headquarters. Imagine, if a store has a quiet brand and a poor image in the eyes of consumers, what capital will it use to develop chain stores? Even if a chain store is barely established, it will only copy a kind of inferior products and backward management mode to the society. It can't stand firm in the market competition; There is no lasting business potential. Only when you have the unique image of your own enterprise and creatively improve your image according to market changes. Only the economy of chain stores has the potential for development.

The trademark of a commercial enterprise is related to the image of the enterprise, which needs to be studied carefully. Generally speaking, successful store trademarks have two characteristics: first, the pronunciation is concise and easy to catchy, and its logo is popular and generally acceptable; Second, its trademark and logo are an invention, which is creative and unique, so it is easy to impress consumers and it is also easier to register.

Goodwill is the intrinsic value of an enterprise's trading target, which is related to the reputation of an enterprise.
