Since their debut, on Bloor Street Toronto, Canada in 1954, Swiss Chalet has become successfully famous due to their slow roasting chicken cooked in a rotisserie oven. Today the rotisserie, a large-open-flamed oven makes the most delicious roasted chicken.
Along with their crispy chicken, Swiss Chalet Franchises also serve award winning BBQ ribs, soups, salads, sandwiches, potatoes and lots of other tasty foods for lunch and dinner. They also have a kids kids menu. You can visit a Swiss Chalet location in you community across Canada, the United States, and Trinidad.
Franchising Tips and Facts
Investigate earnings claims. If a franchisor makes earnings claims, they are required to have in writing the facts upon which those estimates are based. A seller must tell you the number and percentage of owners that have actually met the claimed profit margins. Beware of broad and unsubstantiated claims.
In addition to the initial investment required for a Swiss Chalet Franchise, you will also need money to sustain yourself, and the business, until it becomes cash positive. Remember, too, that projections may not be accurate. Market conditions can change and if it takes longer than originally anticipated for the new business to reach breakeven, you'd should have some emergency funds set aside, or it could mean the demise of an inherently sound business.
Swiss Chalet franchises offer the franchisee a license or right to sell its goods or services and/or use its business techniques. The franchisees usually pay an initial fee to acquire this right, and thereafter pay a percentage of their gross sales to the franchisor throughout the term of their franchise contract. In return for these payments, Swiss Chalet franchisees gain priveleges, including the right to sell a proven and recognized product or service, to use the franchisor's business practices, and to receive initial training and ongoing support.
One of the reasons you may be considering a Swiss Chalet franchise opportunity is brand recognition. With well known established brands, you don't have to work as hard to build brand awareness because a lot of that work has already been done by the franchisor and other franchisees. A good brand is immediately familiar in consumers' minds. To the consumer, brand equals the company's reputation.
