Brand your investment with Wendy's franchisee pitch pitch

Issue

Imagine that you are the father of two children and you have had a long day at work. You’re tired and want nothing more than to enjoy a hearty, healthy and affordable meal with your family without breaking the bank. When you drive around town, you realize that most restaurants in your area are either too expensive, too fancy, or too far from home. Your kids want fast food, but you’re not willing to compromise on quality. You’re stuck in a situation where you can’t win, and you’re not alone.

The problem we face today is the lack of affordable, high quality fast food restaurants that cater to families like yours. Despite the high demand for accessible and tasty restaurants that prioritize customer service and home environments, there is no solution that meets these needs. Families deserve to have a healthy and enjoyable meal without sacrificing their budget, but they can’t find a solution that meets their needs.

What is the relevance of the problem?

The problem we are trying to solve is very relevant, especially for families who want excellent quality food without breaking the bank. According to the National Restaurant Association, the restaurant industry had sales of 9 billion in 2020 and employed more than 10 million people, proving that the demand for catering persists. However, most traditional fast food chains fail to provide fresh, healthy and affordable meals that cater to families looking for a comfortable environment, quality dining experience and nutritious options.

What is the current solution for the problem?

Currently, families are left to choose between over-the-top, gimmicky dining experiences and low-quality fast-food chains. Although some fast-food chains now offer healthier options, they still aren’t enough to meet the demands of families looking for hearty, delicious meals that won’t break their budget. Families shouldn’t have to choose between their health and their happiness and eat out.

Why does the problem exist?

For decades, fast food chains have been the standard option for families looking for a quick meal that won’t break the bank. However, these restaurants failed to maintain healthy eating and provide an environment conducive to a relaxing dining experience. Many restaurants offer unhealthy options that don’t balance quality and affordability. The introduction of healthy fast food restaurants has been primarily marketed to millennials, not families. The need for affordable, healthy, and family-friendly fast food options persists as the demand increases day by day.

Solution / value proposition

Our solution is to establish a chain of popular Wendy’s franchises that offer high quality, affordable fast food. We aim to solve the problem of unhealthy fast food options by providing healthier food choices without compromising taste.

We plan to achieve this by sourcing fresh ingredients from local farms, reducing the use of preservatives and providing customers with a menu that meets all dietary requirements. Additionally, we will provide a unique digital ordering system that simplifies the ordering process and ensures fast service for customers who are always on the go.

We want our customers to feel confident about the food they eat and trust that they are getting a healthy meal. We believe that by offering health-conscious options, we can attract a growing customer base that shares our values on quality and taste.

As for the customer journey, we will make ordering easier for our customers by implementing the latest technologies in our stores via a mobile application. Customers can place their orders in advance and pick up their meals at a designated pick-up point, providing a more convenient and efficient service.

Additionally, we envision a customer-centric brand. We will continually listen to our customers’ feedback and make improvements as needed to meet their needs. This will lead to building strong relationships with customers and the community, and ultimately lead to customers becoming loyal to our brand.

Our solution is not only unique, but also practical. It has proven to be successful with the growing demand for healthy and fast food. We believe Wendy’s franchisees have the potential to lead the way in this trend.

Market validation

According to a recent report by Statista, the fast food industry in the United States generated 2 billion in revenue in 2019, and it is expected to reach 4.4 billion by the end of 2020. The majority of this revenue is generated by Burger franchises, as of late 2020, like Wendy’s, which dominate the market. This indicates significant demand for fast food in the United States.

In terms of total addressable market size (TAM), the fast food industry consists of over 200,000 restaurants.

According to a report by Nation’s Restaurant News, fast-box chains like Wendy’s have found success with value offerings and premium items.

Competition

As a Wendy’s franchisee, we will face competition from several major players in the fast food industry. Our main competitors include McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway and KFC. Each of these fast food chains has its unique selling point, but they all provide fast and affordable food to their customers.

McDonalds is the largest and best known fast food chain in the world. They have an extensive menu and superior marketing strategies, but their food quality can be inconsistent at times. They tend to focus more on value meals and discount coupons to attract customers.

Burger King is known for its flame-grilled burgers and customization options. They focused on expanding their meatless options and promoting their discounts and specials like on Wednesdays.

Taco Bell is a Mexican-inspired fast food chain that offers a wide range of menu items, including burritos, tacos, and questions. They focused on sustainability practices and offered vegetarian and vegan options.

Metro is a sandwich chain that offers customers the ability to customize their sandwiches with a variety of ingredients. They are known to be a healthier option and have been promoting their deal to attract customers.

KFC is a fast food chain specializing in fried chicken. They’ve been focused on expanding their menu options with new items like plant beyond fried chicken and offering discounts through their app.

What makes us better than our competition is our focus on using fresh ingredients and cooking them to order. We are committed to providing our customers with high quality food prepared with care and attention. Our USPs include using 100% pure beef patties, fresh salads and delicious grosts that our customers can enjoy as desserts. We know our customers will appreciate the difference in taste and quality that our food offers.

In terms of our market position relative to our competitors, we see ourselves as providing a high quality, more personalized fast food experience. Our focus on fresh ingredients, customization options and delicious deserts will set us apart from our competition and attract a different kind of customer. We believe our USPS will help us establish a loyal customer base that appreciates the quality of our food.

Customers who could rob us are those who prioritize convenience over quality and those who settle for standard fast food options. We are confident that once customers try our food, they will appreciate the difference in quality and taste, eventually becoming repeat customers.
