Issue
Buffalo Wild Wings franchisees face a significant problem in the restaurant industry today. Many people want affordable, high-quality meals, but it can be difficult for franchisees to keep costs low while still providing a unique dining experience. Current solutions available in the market do not meet the expectations of customers and business owners, resulting in lower sales revenue for franchise owners.
The issue is particularly relevant as customer preferences for healthy, locally sourced ingredients in their meals continue to grow. Traditional franchises have struggled to meet these new demands while keeping costs low, leading to a decline in market share.
This issue is not only relevant to business owners, but also impacts customers who are looking for a unique dining experience that delivers high quality and affordable meals. An example of this problem affecting clients is Sarah, a young mother living in a suburban area. She wants to take her family out for dinner but struggles to find a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, including healthy, locally sourced ingredients, without breaking the bank. Sarah is not alone; Many other customers are facing a similar problem and looking for a solution.
The current solution for this problem is outdated and inefficient. Traditional franchises rely on high prices and marketing gimmicks without offering a unique value proposition to the customer. This approach has become outdated and inefficient as customers now seek a unique dining experience that offers healthy, locally sourced ingredients at an affordable price.
The problem exists not because of a lack of demand but because of a lack of supply of quality dining options. The restaurant industry needs a new approach that delivers high-quality meals at an affordable price while using effective marketing and cost-cutting methods to maximize profits for franchise owners.

business model
As a Buffalo Wild Wings franchisee, we generate revenue by providing high quality food and beverage options to our customers. We operate under a franchise model, which means we provide franchisees with the resources, training and support needed to run successful restaurants. In exchange, franchisees pay us initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties based on their sales.
In addition to the initial investment, franchisees also contribute to a national advertising fund. This fund supports marketing campaigns designed to increase brand awareness and drive traffic to our restaurants.
Our income is generated primarily from the sale of food and beverages. We offer a range of menu items including wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads and a variety of beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We aim to provide our customers with a unique dining experience, with an emphasis on quality, value and customer service.
- Franchise Fees: We charge one-time franchise fees to new franchisees. This initial investment covers the cost of training, site selection and other start-up costs. Fees vary depending on the size and location of the restaurant.
- Royalty: We charge franchisees a percentage of their sales as ongoing royalties. These fees are typically around 5% of sales and are used to cover ongoing expenses such as marketing and support services.
- National Advertising Fund: Franchisees contribute to a National Advertising Fund, which is used to support national marketing campaigns. We believe this fund is an important tool to drive brand awareness and increase customer traffic to our restaurants.
Our business model has been successful, generating revenues of over billion per year. We believe our focus on quality, value and customer service will continue to drive growth in the years to come as we expand our brand and reach new customers.
Competition
When it comes to providing sports bar experiences, there are many competitors in the market. However, at Buffalo Wild Wings franchisee believe that our unique approach to providing exceptional customer service and a lively atmosphere sets us apart from our competitors.
Our main competitors include hooters, twin peaks and slant kilts. These companies have established themselves in the sports bar and casual dining market with an emphasis on classic bar food and drink service, with scantily clad servers and a lively atmosphere.
Although our competitors have been successful in establishing loyal customer bases, they fall short of providing a home environment and healthy meal options. We aim to set ourselves apart by offering a menu that meets all customer needs, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, as well as providing a welcoming and lively space for families and friends.
One of our Unique Selling Points (USPS) is our focus on customer engagement through interactive technology. We aim to deliver an immersive interactive experience that sets us apart from our competitors. Our in-house gaming feature, Buzztime® Entertainment, gives customers access to a variety of games and activities they can play while enjoying their meals. Our technology partner, Punchh® Loyalty & Engagement, provides an innovative mobile app that customers can use to place orders, provide feedback and earn loyalty rewards.
We have identified that Hooters, Tilted Kilt and Twin Peaks are robbing our customers with their slightly cheaper menus and focusing on scantily clad servers, projecting an unhealthy and boring image. We aim to steal these customers by offering affordable yet high quality and healthy meal options and a family environment with friendly and attentive staff.
