Fast food establishments have long been very attractive for starting a business. Especially new trends in this direction, such as franchiseed Hong Kong waffles.

What is a franchise, its conditions

This type of fast food came as a surprise to us from Hong Kong. Therefore, it is only developing in Russia, which means that this idea has a large free niche that can be occupied without competition. Of course, there are pioneering companies in implementing this idea. Which already provide their franchise. What is seductive for a businessman? Find out below.

Recently, everyone has heard such a thing as a franchise. Why is she so tempting for entrepreneurs. Let's first understand what it is. A franchise is the provision of a company (franchising), which has a large sales market and its business plans, for the entrance fee and percentage of sales, all the necessary documentation and concepts to the entrepreneur.

Let's take a closer look at an example. Everyone knows the Starbucks cafeteria. So this huge company is selling its ideas to those who wish. As a result of which you can have your own cafeteria, however it will function under the Starbucks brand. In addition, the interior of the cafeteria should be similar to the company. Those. You will develop your cafeteria as part of an all-starbucks network plan.

Franchise Benefits

The benefits of a franchisee are very great, especially for starting your own business. They are as follows:

• Franchising will help with the registration and execution of all permits;
• You will have a ready-made concept, as a result of which you will not need to come up with an interior design and a business model;
• Franchising, as a rule, already has a large customer base. And this means that from the moment of opening you will already have a large number of visitors;
• Technical equipment and delivery of products, takes on franchising.

In addition, very often such companies provide the right to free training for your employees. Sometimes they can offer their trained staff.

Another bright plus of the brand is its independent advertising company. As a result of which you will not need to spend resources, but at the same time you will reap its benefits. Such a model would seem to have no significant drawbacks. But at the same time, you will be limited in making decisions on promoting your institution. So, for example, you will be required to comply with all the features of doing business with your franchise. In addition, it will also be impossible to deviate from the business plan with internal rules. Everything will need to be done within the framework established at the conclusion of the contract.

But on the other hand, if this is your first project, then here you will be deprived of the opportunity to come across many pitfalls. Also, the franchise deprives you of so many worries. It follows that you will gain valuable experience in managing and creating your business with minimal risk. What in the future can be realized when creating your own brand.

How to open a franchise?

Actually, the logical question is after studying the above material, but how to actually open your franchise?

To do this, just follow the rules from the list below:

1. You need to decide on the product or ideas that you want to implement. Suppose you choose Hong Kong waffles;
2. Analyze the market in the city and country, and find out about the largest and most successful companies that are successfully developing. After all, if you buy a franchise from a mediocre company that occupies middle positions in the market, you will lose money because its business idea does not lead to good performance in our country. In addition, from a successful company you will get both a large customer base and brand;
3. Next, consider the declared payback period. It is considered very risky if the term is more than one year, but the initial investment is huge. The best payback is 5-6 months; these are very real numbers. With them, the risk is minimized;
4. The last important factor is the cost of the franchise itself. Here, first of all, it is necessary to understand that the more money we invest, the more we increase our risks. Unless franchising is the largest brand in the country or the world.

Hong Kong Waffles - Franchise and its terms

Hong Kong waffles appeared on the Russian market not so long ago, in addition, the wafer fast food market in the country is generally poorly developed. These factors indicate that your potential customers will be at least interested in such a novelty. All that remains for you is to win their favor with your quality cooked product.

What are Hong Kong waffles? They have standard wafer baking ingredients. But at the same time they are made in a special form, which provides them with spherical bulges. To which are later added various fillers selected by the client.

“Wow! Waffles

This company holds an honorable third place in the Russian market. She shows good results and is one of the leaders in the sale of wafers in the country. Of the advantages of her franchise, low royalties and minimal starting financial investments can be noted. More about them:

Hong Kong Waffle Recipe from Ready-Mix

Of course, buying a mixture is much easier than cooking it yourself, but remember that waffles cooked completely on their own are much tastier. Bon Appetit.

A bright representative of Hong Kong street food, gradually conquering our country - egg waffles, they Hong Kong Waffles , and in the English version Hong Kong Style Egg Waffle, simply Egg waffle   or Bubble waffle. It is simply impossible to pass the point with this yummy, at least you just want to see where such an appetizing aroma comes from. Well, after trying it once, it's hard to forget them.

Now in many cities of Russia in large shopping centers stalls with Hong Kong waffles are opening, but what could be better than freshly prepared yummy directly in its historical homeland.

The name "Hong Kong waffles", I think, does not need an explanation, everything is simple here. But “egg waffles” are not called at all because they are completely made of eggs, but because of their unusual shape resembling small quail eggs, and in Cantonese their name sounds something like “little chicken eggs” or “eggs of little chickens” ".

Nobody knows for sure the history of the origin of Hong Kong wafers, but the most frequently mentioned is that according to which one entrepreneurial owner ( name unknown) a grocery store in an attempt to save a lot of broken eggs, came up with a recipe for the test and a method for its preparation. Traditionally, waffle irons were heated on coals, and now, of course, they use electricity.

The characteristic bumpy shape of this baking is impossible not to recognize. The pimples are covered with a thin crisp on top, and inside are very airy and delicate!

I already mentioned that in Hong Kong you can try waffles at street points ( most of them are concentrated on the Kowloon Peninsula, for example, in the Mong Kok area) and you can in a cozy cafe, ( which are still larger in the island part) And this was the first time we met this yummy in Ocean Park, where there is the Old Hong Kong theme area. Traditionally, in street stalls, freshly prepared waffles are rolled up with a horn, put in a paper bag and watered with sauces. And if you take them to a cafe, then the filling can be various ice cream, whipped cream, soft caramel and a bunch of toppings.

It so happened that not far from our hotel on the small Gough Street there is one of the most popular “waffle” cafes in Hong Kong - “Oddies Foodies”. The institution, frankly, is small ( which is not surprising for the city center), but bright and therefore does not "pressure" visitors. Instead of tables, there is a stand with tulles, about 8 people, but especially no one in the cafe does not stay too long, they mostly buy takeaways. The pimply egg waffles here are really very tasty, and the portions are such that I, a sweet tooth with experience, hardly mastered.

There is such a long and steep staircase from Queen's Road Road Central on Gough Street, but at the end of a difficult climb we had a delicious dessert in a cafe.

The room is narrow and elongated in the depths of the building, which is very characteristic of Hong Kong.

This is one of the most popular waffle variations in Oddies Foodies, called Nigft Wolf, and it’s very difficult to cope with such a night wolf.

In addition to the wonderful Hong Kong waffles, the cafe specializes in soft Italian low-fat ice cream ( Italian low fat soft gelato), not for nothing that the institution is called "GELATERIA", that is, an ice cream parlor. It is added to waffles and served in jars ( really, in glass jars!), and in the form of giant horns ... oh, hello, caries! They do not have their own site, but they have a Facebook account (https://www.facebook.com/oddiesfoodies/) where you can track new items.

These are all ice cream cones. They are unrealistically large, to eat at least one of them you need not just a desire, but also to show skill, since here they made concessions to appearance and taste to the detriment of convenience. Eating is not convenient, but very tasty and unusual!

We also ate the puffed ice cream in the jar, but forgot to take a picture, so only an illustration from the menu.

In addition, you can buy some cookies, for example, these are almond, but after waffles and ice cream we could no longer look at any sweets.

Perhaps the only weak point of Oddies Foodies was the service - it did not reach the highest point. For example, out of three or four of our raids in a cafe, the coffee machine worked only once, but I’m sure that everything will work out over time, we’ll definitely check it on the next visit.

Well, that’s for you small article update... On our next trips, we visited Oddiz Foods several times, and came to the conclusion that the current management is simply killing the cafe. Yes, it’s popular, as it’s fashionable to say “cult place” or “masti” ( must see) and on this his leadership earns, but a sober look from the side ( this is me so modestly to myself) shows a sad picture. Apparently, they could not fix the coffee machine and now they do not even offer a fragrant drink. Of the other drinks, the maximum is water ... Ice cream in beautiful horns, which lured visitors from the window at the entrance, disappeared somewhere ... In short, if managers do not recover and continue to work in this style, then the cafe will sink into oblivion! I hope this does not happen.

In general, wildly upset after our next visit to the Oddies Foodies, we decided to look for something similar in the area, so that not far from the hotel. There was no need to search for a long time - literally next to Oddiz on Queen`s Road Central there is an excellent cafe "BB Egg Waffle"   . Well, it’s still difficult to call a cafe in the generally accepted sense, since there is very little space inside the room, literally so that a couple of people can sit down while the order is being prepared. But this is not important, because it is with great pleasure to eat delicious waffles while walking around. In addition to the Hong Kong waffles themselves, BB Egg Waffle has an interesting ice cream and a wide range of drinks ( unlike Oddiz!), mainly Hong Kong Bubble tea"In different versions.
