With over 40 years of experience in the fast food industry and many years of experience at delivering all things fried chicken including marinades, breadings, cooking and hot holding equipment in fact everything except the chicken, we were able to support John in this project and deliver a cost effective solution to quickly add fried chicken to John’s menu.
Our SFC Express offer has been specifically designed for businesses just like John’s who can benefit from extending their menu but at a reasonable cost.
The SFC Express brand promises the consumer our premium product, cooked in a pressure fryer and held at the right temperature and humidity for perfect chicken up to 90 minutes after it has been cooked.
Like John’s shop, we ask for a 4 or 5 star hygiene rating to be maintained at all times so that the consumer can be confident that not only is the chicken hot, fresh and delicious it is also prepared safely.
Adding fried chicken is all about growing the business, not just moving sales from the fish fryer to the chicken fryer and we are confident in predicting a 20% growth in sales on chicken. Based on John’s initial investment from £11,995 this would see a payback period of around 13 weeks. Now, that’s not chicken feed!
John chose to take the leasing option instead of the full initial cost. Meaning over a three year period he was paying just £80.23 a week, allowing him to spread the cost, and enjoy the resulting weekly profits.
The SFC Express menu has been kept quite simple, 2 pieces of on the bone chicken, strips and a tortilla wrap. Selling as few as 23 two piece boxes per day will return the original investment in 57 weeks, that’s around 3 cooks per day or 1 hours worth of cooking.
