Kfc UK franchise We're the biggest chain of Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) in the world. And even though we have over 800 restaurants in the kfc UK franchise and Ireland, there are always opportunities for more. So if you think you've got the right stuff, either as a business or an individual, we'd like to hear from you. What you'll need • True entrepreneurial spirit • A strong belief in our brand • Managerial experience - hospitality would be a big plus • A real commitment to serve to the standards our customers expect • A keen ability to train and nurture people • A minimum of £5m if you're a business - £2m will have to be your own investment, and you must have access to additional funding to match growth • The capability and drive to expand to 10 restaurants in 5 years Now hold on If you operate other franchise businesses that are fine, and we'll consider you for KFC - provided your businesses are not in direct competition with kfc UK franchise or any of our affiliates. So if you're running a McDonald's, Burger King, Wimpy or similar ventures, then I'm afraid we cannot consider you for franchise. What's the cost? It takes a special person or group to be a KFC franchisee. And you will need capital. Here's a general guideline of the costs per unit. Remember this is only a guide. • Initial new license fee is US $43,600 • Franchise royalty is 6% of sales, paid monthly • Your advertising contribution is 5% of sales. This is paid into a co-operative and used mainly for National TV and 0.5% of local marketing. • The cost of setting up a Drive Thru unit to KFC standards can be over £500,000. This is in addition to lease/freehold cost of the land/building. Further capital will be needed to purchase stock, cover training, and provide wages, utility deposits and insurance premiums.
