A good fast food franchise opportunities?

Hi im looking for a good fast food franchise opportunities.
thanks in advance.

I have worked at chickfila they were the best fast food i have ever worked!!!


How to do I Increase my franchise restaurant sales and guest count ?

I have a franchise restaurant, fast casual concept.. How do I increase slaes and guest count ? I have tried newspaper, advertising, frequent dinner program, fundraiser, word of mouth, and much more.. no effect.

Lunch is great, but dinner is not too great.

The concept is complex to run, there is no franchise support..

there is a subway next to me doing nearly $3000 a day, and several other concepts.

My concept sales pasta, all kinds of different dishes…the interior is great, the food is great, everyone loves it, but no body knows about the concept.

I dont have much money to do any high end advertising…

What else can I do to get my sales up ?

Please help.

Ben

Increase your average ticket: get your staff to upsell ( have an incentive for the staff person who upsells the most)

Hand out coupons during your lunch rush with some sort of discount, free appetizer etc when they return for dinner within the next seven days: cheap advertising!

Work with a local radio station: maybe a live remote

Online coupons on your website

Dazzle your current customers with exceptional service…word of mouth advertising is the most effective

Post dinner specials: say, after 8:00, buy 1, second 1/2 price


What the easiest fast food franchise to start up?

I was wondering and I am leaning more toward the price and ease of work

Sorry mate, on this one there is no easy optio,n apart from hard graft and long hours.

Remember there is all the paperwork as well, and that can cripple a business right from the start.
If you can’t succeed you will know in the first 3 months.

If you were given a fast food franchise which one would you pick?

How about 2nd and 3rd?

I would pick Port of Subs from Sparks, NV as my franchise. Their subs are even better than Subway. They are also very community minded. I like that in a business. So far, Port of Subs has taken over the west coast: Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington.

Subway would be my second pick.

Jack in the Box would be my third.


What is the american restaurant franchise that serves Italian food?

I can’t think of the name its been buggin me for days. They serve only italian food pasta, pizza, etc..
Its like the Olive Garden or like these other non italian restaurants like unos applebees chilies etc…

Bertucci’s?


What is the MOST popular food franchise?

I just need to know, for research. you can choose ANYTHING like McDonalds, Burger Kind, Taco Bell, Checkers, Hardee’s, ANYTHING!

McDonalds, because they are in every country with multiple branches.


Which orginated first, the old mcdonald had a farm song, or the Mcdonalds fast food franchise?

Im curious to know which thing orginated first. Considering that both have been around forever, isn’t it interesting to see which "McDonald" came first?

The song is older.

The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, published between 1952 and 1964, includes a song called "McDonald’s Farm", collected from a Miss Mary Scarborough of Dare County "in 1923 or thereabouts." It has lyrics very close to the common modern version:

Old McDonald had a farm,
E-i ei o
And on that farm he had some chicks,
E-i ei o
With a chick chick here and a chick chick there,
And a here chick, there chick, everywhere chick chick.
Old McDonald had a farm,
E-i ei o.

In the 1917 book, Tommy’s Tunes, a collection of World War I era songs by F. T. Nettleingham, the song "Ohio (Old Macdougal Had a Farm)" has quite similar lyrics–though with a slightly different farmer’s name and refrain:

Old Macdougal had a farm in Ohio-i-o,
And on that farm he had some dogs in Ohio-i-o,
With a bow-wow here, and a bow-wow there,
Here a bow, there a wow, everywhere a bow-wow.

The Traditional Ballad Index consider the "Tommy’s Tunes" version to be the earliest known version of "Old Macdonald Had a Farm", though it cites numerous variants, some of them much older.[1]

Two of these variants were published in Vance Randolph’s Ozark Folksongs in 1980. One was "Old Missouri", sung by a Mr. H. F. Walker of Missouri in 1922, a version that names different parts of the mule rather than different animals:

Old Missouri had a mule, he-hi-he-hi-ho,
And on this mule there were two ears, he-hi-he-hi-ho.
With a flip-flop here and a flip-flop there,
And here a flop and there a flop and everywhere a flip-flop
Old Missouri had a mule, he-hi-he-hi-ho.

The other variant from Ozark Folksongs was sung by Mr. Doney Hammondtree of Arkansas in 1942. He said he had learned the song around 1900 and that he "thinks it is the ancestor of another build-up song known as ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’."

Old Massa had a very fine hog,
In the merry green fields of the lowland,
He turned him in to be seen
In the merry green fields of the lowland,
And it’s oink here, and an oink there,
Naff-naff-naff and ev’rybody laugh as they go past
In the merry green fields of the lowland.

George Christy sang a similar version, "In the Merry Green Fields of Oland", in 1865.[citation needed]

A British version of the song, called "The Farmyard, or The Merry Green Fields," was collected in 1908 from a 74-year-old Mrs. Goodey at Marylebone Workhouse, London, and published in Cecil Sharp’s Collection of English Folk Songs.

Up was I on my fa-ther’s farm
On a May day morn-ing ear-ly;
Feed-ing of my fa-ther’s cows
On a May day morn-ing ear-ly,
With a moo moo here and a moo moo there,
Here a moo, there a moo, Here a pret-ty moo.
Six pret-ty maids come and gang a-long o’ me
To the mer-ry green fields of the farm-yard.

Perhaps the earliest recorded member of this family of songs is a number from an opera called The Kingdom of the Birds, published in 1719-1720 in Thomas D’Urfey’s Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy:

In the Fields in Frost and Snows,
Watching late and early;
There I keep my Father’s Cows,
There I Milk ‘em Yearly:
Booing here, Booing there,
Here a Boo, there a Boo, every where a Boo,
We defy all Care and Strife,
In a Charming Country-Life.

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the world’s largest chain of fast food restaurants, primarily selling hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. More recently, it also offers salads, fruit, snack wraps, and carrot sticks. The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald’s restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers’ equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion.

With the successful expansion of McDonald’s into many international markets, the company has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility.
