\"\"\u00a0CHICAGO PIZZA<\/a> is a take away chain of Pizza. Our mainProducts include Pizza, Sandwich, Hotdog and Pasta, other than the side orders like garlic bread and Sundaes.We have Hot and Cold beverages<\/a> such as the patented Monster Fizz, Gingerale, lemonade, Ice tea Cold Coffee, Coke etc. The operational are process oriented and with the automated checks and audits in place, we have made our business completely streamlined and with\u00a0minimal manual checks and interventions. We source our\u00a0ingredients from suppliers catering to the demands of top multinational brands. The unique proposition is Build\u00a0Your Own Slice has been the first of its kind concept in the Indian market place and has gained lot of media and\u00a0social hype. We competed for the Best Pizza Award\u00a0organized by the biggest media company in India Hindustan Times and \u00a0in the competition with all leading fast food brands such as Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns etc\u00a0including Fine dine venues having Michelin experience\u00a0and to our Pride, Won the Best Pizza Award for India.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>All our main Products can be completely customized for\u00a0individual requirements by adding non-vegetarian or vegetarian toppings to suit customer preferences. For\u00a0axample: A customer can ask for a Pizza slice with\u00a0Chicken Tikka,Jalapeno, Capsicum, Onion, Olives and\u00a0extra Cheese and the same is customized and handed\u00a0over to him in less than 5 minimum. He could either take away and consume it while walking in a mall, sitting in\u00a0a foodcourt or as a delivery order back home. Thus,though we specialize on take-away business, but have a\u00a0casual dine, deliveries and also a catering model attached to the same outlet to generate additional sales, revenues and in turn higher profitability.There were few drawbacks in the Pizza industry. \u00a0An individual wanting to have a Pizza, would still have to consult his friends, family or group to either order in or\u00a0dine out for Pizza. Pizza was a product which required tobe shared than individually consumed. During order taking\u00a0again, one individual could be Vegetarian, while the othertwo could be Non Vegetarian One might like to have a\u00a0Pepperoni, while the other preferred Chicken due to taste,palate or religious reasons. With our Brand, each customer can independently chose his toppings and make\u00a0his main Product suiting his palate. Its similar to Subway kind of business, wherein you may chose between\u00a0different breads, add on non-vegetarian or vegetarian toppings and prepare yourself a sandwich. However, the\u00a0end result you notice will still taste nothing but a sandwich, no matter how innovative the toppings were. In our case, we have 4 different kind of breads: Pizza, Sandwich, Hotdog, Pasta and side order like Garlic Bread,so when you add your toppings on it, the end result such as a Pizza will be completely different to taste from a Sandwich or a Pasta etc. Thus we cater to a wide variety\u00a0of tastes and customers. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Even the pricing is from just Rupees 40 for a sandwich, to a Hotdog of Rupees 60,Pizza of Rupees 75 and Pasta Rupees 95 thus catering to\u00a0different segments of society. Now, a potential Franchise\u00a0would wonder that to have such a variety that we cater, we might require a big space for our kitchen and take away counter. Well, we have been able to streamline our kitchen and take away counter operations in just a 100 sq\u00a0ft. This minimum area requirement works well in a food court or a mall and bringing down the revenue\u00a0expenditure month on month in terms of not just Rent, but\u00a0the electricity and salary cost other than the Civil cost \u00a0of constructing a bigger area. Rent is in today time the MAKE or BREAK of any business and by taking minimum\u00a0area are keeping our operations till streamlined, we make\u00a0sure that our Franchise does not get effected by high\u00a0Rentals and can manage to still take space in the best of\u00a0locations. However when it comes to a High street, we\u00a0suggest taking anything above 200 square feet so that we\u00a0can fit our same kitchen and takeaway counter of 100\u00a0square feet and extra space is utilized for sitting and\u00a0standing space. This helps us in better sales as now our\u00a0customers can walk into the outlet and order in an air-conditioned comfortable environment. India being a\u00a0country with extreme temperature, we thus suggest having\u00a0atleast 200 to 250 square feet in high street locations while\u00a0100 square feet may be possible in a mall or foodcourt.The Investment is about Rupees 2.3 million to 2.5 million.The reason, we cannot give you an exact amount is\u00a0because the investments are based on actuals and spent directly by you. Any savings, is to your account. Thus a\u00a0potential franchise having an amount of Rupees 2.5million, can start one outlet of Chicago Pizza. This\u00a0investment includes just about anything such as the Franchise fee, Civil work, Kitchen tool and equipments,\u00a0the main Oven which is a 21 inch conveyor Oven time and\u00a0temperature controlled. A similar Oven is also provided by2 other companies such as Lincoln and Middle-be-Marshall, whose costing is multiple times higher than the Oven of the same technology specially designed and exclusively manufactured for us to bring down the Capital\u00a0cost. Forgot to mention, we have included the working\u00a0capital requirements also for about two months, thus the\u00a0rent, salary,electricity, stocks for the initial requirement of\u00a0business is included in the investment. The reason is to account for all expenditures before you achieve a revenue break-even and generating profits. When such profits are\u00a0accumulated for 9 to 15 months, you should be able to\u00a0recover the Capital expenditure though the Assets still\u00a0remain yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now procedure of getting Franchise is that you pay Rupees Two hundred and fifty thousand as advance and sign up a letter of intent per outlet. This gives you the right\u00a0to open one unit any where in your city. You could alsolock one location of your choice in the LOI. Once such\u00a0location is locked, we through ourselves or through another franchise will not open in that location Though you still have the option to open 1 outlet either in the location you have locked or anywhere in your city. Thus your locked location is well protected by you and at the\u00a0same time, you also get chose from various other locations in your city that might excite you. Once you\u00a0finalize a location, we take our balance two hundred and fifty thousand Rupees Franchise fee of our total 5 hundred\u00a0thousand fee and sign up the Franchise Agreement with you. Our inception manager, will suggest you many civil\u00a0contractors who have worked to construct our site, however you can chose any civil contractor of your choice(may be your family member, relative or any other contractor you may know and trust). We will provide all the\u00a0drawings, plumbing, electric, display etc on a goodwill\u00a0gesture free of cost and supervise along with you that your\u00a0outlet is constructed under our branding guidelines within\u00a0approx 30 days. You will pay the money directly to your\u00a0workers for the work implemented by them.\u00a0Once the Outlet is ready, we can either provide you with the staff by charging one time below commission:10 days salary for a fresher, plus maximum of 10 day salary for training taken at our\u00a0outlet. Else if you source the employees yourself, we will provide them training at our outlet \u00a0completely free of cost before your outlet launch. The staff required at a typical outlet are\u00a0as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3 to 4 staff members of Rupees 6000 salary per month\u00a0who will get training on how to make the Products offeredin our Menu. <\/span><\/p>\n

IN addition the Outlet requires 2 Cashiers ofRupees 10,000 salary per month.<\/span>\"\"
\nNow these staff member as you can see from their\u00a0salaries, are not very skilled labour or Chef that we<\/span>
\nrequire. This is because all our operations and automated and process driven. Once your outlet starts, our New store\u00a0opening Team comprising of the best employees of\u00a0Chicago Pizza till date will be present at your outlet and\u00a0will remain there for days till your outlet operations are\u00a0completely streamlined.\u00a0All ingredients, such as Dough, Cheese, Non Vegetarian toppings, Packaging, Sauce etc will come directly to your outlet from our commissary kitchen. Only assemble operations take place at your site. For example OurDough comes in powder form which is a patented mix of\u00a0Dough conditioner, Gluten, Salts, Emulsifiers, Flavours,Imported flour, Dry Yeast etc etc… All a staff member\u00a0needs to do is add water and oil as per specifications and\u00a0the dough will rise into a dough ball. Separate 6 portioned\u00a0balls and shape them each into an 18 inch round Pizza.Bake the base and upon individual orders cut each Pizza\u00a0base into 8 slices and customize one slice to fulfill the Order Pizza slice order. Because it is a 9 inch slice of Pizza cut from a 18 inch round Pizza, the corner are very less unlike a very small 6 inch pizza, wherein 50% are only sides without topping and cheese. Thus its wholesome and value for a money proposition for a customer not willing to consume just bread.To make it more attractive, we have combo deals as apart of the Menu. Also we do marketing activities for our Chicago Pizza outlets all over to do well. To name a few activities, we do campaign on FM, partner online companies such as Mydala, Snapdeal, Crazeal, Deals and You other than Delivery marketing co. such as Just eat, Zomato. Also we have partnered corporate marketing multinationals such as Sudexo, Edenred etc. who distribute coupons in corporates which are further given as food allowance of emloyees. The company employees bring insuch coupon to our outletand redeem them to get ourMenu products. Chicago Pizza re-imburses the amount ofcoupons to our Franchised Outlets.<\/span><\/p>\n

TYPICAL BREAKUP OF OPERATIONS COST IS.<\/span>
\n30% of Sales as Food cost thus Gross profit is 70% ofSales,<\/span>
\n10% of Sales as Royalty,<\/span>
\n20% of Sales as towards Rental (hypothetically).<\/span>
\nThus a Franchise is left with 40% amount of the Sales permonth.<\/span>
\nSubtract a total of Rupees 60,000 (that is electricity of\u00a0Rupees 20,000 plus Salaries of Rupees 40,000) from the\u00a0above amount and you will reach the net profit of Sales\u00a0expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nCHECKS AND AUDITS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though we have insured that not just the Capital cost is on actuals and the Ingredients come to our Franchise outlets directly from our Base Kitchen on cost to cost basis which saves 20 to 30% on the raw material price for ourFranchises as we are buying in Bulk and passing the cost\u00a0benefit, we have also made sure that the Revenue expenditure in terms of Rent, Electricity and salaries are to the bare minimum by utilizing just 100 square feet for our\u00a0kitchen takeaway counter. However the weak point still remains that employees of Franchise should be trustworthy and should not under bill and keep the extra money in their own pocket. This is a very common case in mughlai, chinese,<\/a> gelato etc takeaway business as the stocks cannot be measured and accounted for. To circumvent such a situation, the checks and Audits followed by chicago pizza are more stringent than an other brand Globally keeping the interest of our Franchise.Though a Franchises personal attention is required to keep the employees disciplined and sales motivated, even if the Franchise was not present in the Outlet at any point of time or period, we have the below check and audits to make sure that sales are correctly reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nPoint 1. Dough packets are tracked and thus we know that\u00a0if one dough packet makes 6 Pizzas of 18 inch, 10 dough packets will make 60 Pizzas etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nPoint 2. If the Employee tries to misuse and make more\u00a0Pizzas out of the Dough packet, the quality and mass ofeach pizza will detoriate. No other brand can check such a flaw. We, at Chicago pizza have invested and placed Cameras on top of every Oven and our Camera men int he back office on a daily basis count the number of Pizzas coming out of each Oven. It is more like an owner sitting on top of the Oven and counting the number of Pizza made and sold. Thus by the end of the day, our Camera men can judge how may Pizzas were sold from a\u00a0particular outlet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nPoint 3. Our Billing Software at an outlet has all the recipes of our Main products inherited. Once the stock from our Main kitchen is sent to a particular outlet they credit the stocks of such items like 50 KG Cheese, 30 KG\u00a0Dough, 40 KG Sauce etc. Upon making a bill for a customer, the raw material consumed to make the billed\u00a0product are automatically debited by the Billing Software as per the Recipe followed. At the end of the day, the\u00a0computer reflects the stocks that are billed for and thebalance stocks that the Outlet still retains. On physical check of the stock, a variance report is generated. Plus orMinus 2 Percent variance is allowed, however higher\u00a0variance is questionable. Such report is sent to all the higher management of Chicago pizza including the\u00a0Franchise to keep in account all the raw material being\u00a0utilized at the Outlet.<\/span>
\nThus we try to make sure that you make money !<\/span><\/p>\n
