British-styled Singapore Food Franchise Opportunities – Singapore Franchise Opportunities in Take Away Food Concept

So, what do we make out of a British take away food stall in Singapore? Or a huge portion of individually battered fish and chips served in a bag at less than five dollars? Or even a Mars Bar deep fried?

Simple and yet not so simple, it’s the highly successful CHIPPY British Take Away, which serves unique British and Scottish snack fare at great value for money. With the launch of CHIPPY British Take Away business franchise program, interested investors will be able to tap into the brand’s success.

Established since 2005, CHIPPY British Take Away has expanded to four highly profitable locations in prime malls across Singapore, at Far East Plaza, Raffles City Shopping Centre, Central and Plaza Singapura. The diversity of these locations proves CHIPPY’s popularity with the mass market in Singapore, and the low prices (all items under $5.00) ensure that no potential customer is priced out of the menu.

CHIPPY British Take Away profitability and strength comes from its efficient operations and focused branding. An outlet requires no more than three staff to run during peak hours. As all items are cooked to order, there is no wastage to deal with at the end of every day, the bane of all food operations. An efficient back end operation ensures stock can be accurately monitored at all times to prevent theft and positive cash flow. CHIPPY’s strong branding collaterals also ensure customer trust and loyalty in today’s generic and competitive food market.

For CHIPPY British Take Away’s Singapore franchise opportunities, single unit franchisees can now get their own outlet for less than S$100,000 investment, depending on the size of the unit, ranging from 100-150 sq ft (takeaway outlet) to 200-250 sq ft (diner). The amount will include the franchise fee, the set up cost, initial working capital and rental fees.

To ensure success of the business franchise unit, CHIPPY business franchise opportunities program will provide the following support:

- Site Assessment and Acquisition

- Unit Design and Set up

- Comprehensive Training

- Use of the CHIPPY Franchise Manual

- Pre-opening and Opening Support

- Marketing and promotions

- Over all Operational Oversight

- On Going R&D Assistance

- Supply of Proprietary Raw Materials

The franchisees can also look forward to good business partner as evidenced by the franchisor’s mission statement below:

“We practise ethnical business conducts. We are a supportive business partner dedicated to our franchisees’ success. We provide a complete retail system with total professional support and service, for all of us to be successful in our business and benefit from operating as part of a strongly branded and uniform chain. We provide an environment, which fosters personal growth and enables co-workers to be part of a team.”

“CHIPPY British Take Away is ready to share the experience through business franchise plans,” said Hsien Naidu, Director of business consulting firm, Astreem that consists of a team of franchise consultants, business consultants, branding consultants and marketing consultants. “CHIPPY British Take Away is set to develop and share their franchise business concept with investors seeking Singapore franchise opportunities through Singapore food franchise for their business investments.”

Why a Franchise may not work for you

So you want to own a business, but are considering a franchise for the convenience of a set business plan, name recognition of the company and potential to make a lot of money with a proven system.  The problem is that Franchise owners usually have to come up with between 5,000 and 100,000 dollars to open a franchise, secure contracts for business space, obtain all applicable licenses and insurance, not to mention a time investment of 80 to 100 hours a week.  Being a franchise owner sure doesn’t sound like a lot of fun .

What if there was a way to enjoy all the PROs of a Franchise such as established , duplicable business plans and name recognition without any of the CONS like high investment risk and large overhead expenses, not to mention a huge time investment to get your business off the ground and flourishing ?  The answer is Network Marketing.

For almost every Franchise opportunity an equally lucrative Network Marketing opportunity exists.  Most network marketing companies require a low investment ( usually under $1000 but on average $150) , no overhead ( unless you need to establish a home office) and less of a time investment .  Most people are able to keep their primary jobs while growing their network marketing business.  Once you have established your network marketing business the time investment decreases while your income increases.  In a franchise you have to keep selling to keep profiting where in a network marketing business you can eventually cut down on your personal sales efforts while your income continues to increase ; freeing you up to do more of the things you enjoy .

Some people have bad impressions of network marketing companies because of some disreputable companies .  The word Pyramid Scam often comes up and many people ask if Network Marketing is a Pyramid Organization ; the answer is Yes , but so is that franchise you were interested in .  You see, the executive or owner of your franchise benefits when you open a franchise and makes sales , your network marketing business operates in just the same way.

A word of warning though , make sure that whatever franchise or network marketing company you choose is established, legitamate and that people actually want what you’ll have to offer. No one wants to invest time or money in a business that has inferior products, compensation or business plan.

If you were looking to open a health food store, weight loss business, gym or wellness practice and would like more information on a compareable Network Marketing business to start instead of or to enhance your primary business visit the author’s website.  If you would like a list of reutable work at home businesses visit http://wahm.com or http://npros.com .

Redbox Movie Rental Franchise, Where Can I Get One?

If you are like me and used one of these popular movie rental machines you have probably found yourself thinking what a great money making idea this would be to own one or even several of these machines. Then you could just sit back and and count your cash. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but these Red Box movie vending machines are not available as a franchise business and are actually solely owned and operated by that great McDonalds franchise, arguably the most visibly recognizable franchise in the world. What a great marketing coup these have become for the McDonalds. They not only attract people to rent a movie for $1.00 but 9 times out of 10 those same people will also go inside and buy some movie munchies. If you could purchase one of these machines the odds are that they would be expensive since they are the latest in movie rental vending technology and as with all new technologies they will come down in price as more manufactures jump in to the this market and develop and enhance the design of these movie rental vending machines. It is possible that year or two down the road the Red Box movie rental machines will diminish in popularity as some other technology advancement replaces it as the current favorite.

If you are looking for a business for yourself I would like to recommend the internet as a much better long term money making option then say a Red Box Franchise. For instance consider Internet Marketing or Online Marketing as it is sometimes called as one such business. By learning and mastering this skill you will be in a position to potentially earn thousands even tens of thousands of dollars and not effected by economic down turns.  I would like to recommend that before considering any online or network marketing business that you do thorough research and due diligence before making any decisions.
