Fully describe the business's activities?

This popular franchise specializes in making fresh snacks and sandwiches to order, without stocking any pre-made products. By preparing items on demand, they minimize waste. The business caters to companies by offering platters suitable for meetings, functions, training sessions, and events. The main product is, of course, freshly made sandwiches, but the extensive menu also includes breakfast items, salads, wraps, baked potatoes, and cold drinks, all of which enhance the franchise's appeal to its target market. The unique concept, combined with the layout and excellent service provided by the franchisor, has made this the fastest-growing lunchtime supply chain of its kind in South Africa. In 2016, Banting options were introduced, meeting a significant demand and aligning with the franchise's vision to offer healthier choices to customers.

How does the business operate on a daily basis?

The store is opened weekdays from 8am to 4:30pm
Saturdays from 8am to 1pm
Orders are received online, telephonically or through Uber Eats and Mr D
Future orders can be placed online to be scheduled for specific dates.

What Advertising/Marketing is carried out?

The Advertising Fund is dedicated to promoting brand awareness within the Group, working in collaboration with franchisees. Television and radio campaigns have been implemented, while the Franchise maintains a strong digital presence, actively engaging customers on Facebook and Instagram. Specials are offered every three months, and Head Office regularly creates flyers, promotions, and posters. Additionally, individual stores have the flexibility to run their own marketing campaigns.

What competition exists?

The "Fast Food" market doesn't significantly impact this franchise, as people prefer freshly made, healthy options over the mass-produced, chemical-laden foods typical of those outlets. The free express delivery service adds to the appeal, making the franchise a great alternative for quick meals. These franchise stores attract both those seeking a fast food experience and those who want delicious, healthy options. Customers can enjoy their menu multiple times a day, which isn't common with other concepts. Their menu, crafted by South Africans over 23 years, gives them a nationwide edge. Replicating this concept has proven challenging due to the complexities of running a top-tier business, and as the largest and best sandwich group in South Africa, it's tough for competitors to break into the market.

How could the profitability of the business be improved?

With a small investment, increase the number of delivery bikes and hire a marketing company to boost the store's promotion and visibility in the area.
