Get Started HereThe business offers ethnic fast-food for take-away and delivery. Due to its prime/central location, it has a lot of take-away business from walk-in clients, while for delivery it has exclusivity for the whole of larnaca.
Business model
The business owns the franchise for the whole of Larnaca for the specific brand of take-away/delivery food. This franchise is highly successful with shops all over Cyprus and there is considerable growth potential, since Larnaca can support at least one more shop of this franchise, maybe more.
Clients enjoy excellent value for money in terms of the food quality, variety, generous portions but also fast & efficient service, whether for take-away or for delivery. This is the winning formula which explains the success of this business.
The food menu, recipes and preparation procedures have been developed by the franchisor and perfected over time to maximize quality, efficiency/speed of preparation but also to ensure a good profit margin.
Due to the business’s success from the start-up stage, advertising and promotion requirements have been very modest and currently the business relies on word-of-mouth/reputation as well as a strong presence in social media (facebook, instagram & trip advisor). FB followers are over 11.000 while it enjoys a 5.0 rating from Trip Advisor reviews!
The central location facilitates quick deliveries to anywhere in downtown/central Larnaca and the business employs two expert delivery riders.
Employees for this type of business are easy to find and train, therefore there are no issues with staff.
This is a cash business with no credit hassles, therefore it is debt-free and only needs a current account with the bank.
Finally, franchise fees are modest and there is no pressure to continuously expand with new shops (as with most franchises) although there are opportunities for expansion for someone who is willing to put up the capital, time & energy.
