Why Choose Gourmet Hog Roast?
If you’re considering becoming part of a franchise that helps you achieve the work-life balance you’re looking for, here are just a few of the benefits on offer when joining the Gourmet Hog Roast.
A Stand out Brand
The UK is full of various hog roast, BBQ and outdoor catering companies, so it’s become increasingly difficult to shine as a start-up business. When choosing the Gourmet Hog Roast, you’ll have the backing of an existing strong brand in the event space, and we’ll give you everything you need to make sure you stand out from the crowd.
Unlimited Earning Potential
The benefit of owning your own business is getting back what you put in, meaning that if you put in the hard work, your franchise will become a success. Gourmet Hog Roast franchises can expect to be profitable in their first year thanks to the training and support we provide. It’s flexible enough that you can run it as a part-time business, only working weekends or even grow it to a full-time service catering company turning over hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Exclusivity to Areas
We’ll provide a territory area (typically County level) which you’ll have total exclusivity to, including all enquiries generated within your designated zones.
Lifestyle
Have the ability to work your own hours. The idea of a rigid 9 to 5 lifestyle no longer applies. Imagine travelling in your quieter months or having more time to spend with the kids. Joining our franchise gives you the independence and flexibility to have time for the things important to you – forget about only 25 days of paid leave, you can do whatever you like.
Lead Generation
Part of buying into a franchise is that we’ll generate leads for you, removing the hassle that comes with running your own business. You don’t have to worry about how the work will come to you, so you can just concentrate on running the event itself.
Web Presence
A business can’t become a success if potential customers can’t find you. We provide you with your own web page which you can update yourself or ask us to do it for you. We can even ensure your site has a strong presence on popular search engines. Until you build relationships with local venues and event planners, this is going to be the main medium in which you’ll win business. You’ll be buying into a brand which spends tens of thousands a year on website advertising, just to ensure you’re successful.
Back Office Support
Not only will we generate the leads for you, but we will help with back office support. We will send out quotes on your behalf, follow up those leads, provide you a dedicated @gourmet-hog-roast.co.uk email address and keep a shared calendar with all your booked jobs in. From our own experience, sending out quotes in a prompt manner is a key factor in the success of winning a job, we will help you do that, ensuring you are free to focus on delivering the job.
Training
After you purchase your franchise, we’ll come out with you, train you how to use all the equipment and ensure both the product and service provided is high. We offer you guidance with your supply chain, equipment you’ll need to buy and storage solutions. Once you’re ready, you’ll have the confidence you need to manage and run each event without us being there.
Mentorship
Running a business can often be a lonely place which is why we believe in having someone to talk to. This is incredibly important for gaining the support you need, and we offer the mentorship to help guide you to set up and run your franchise. What’s more, we also provide you with NCASS membership which is the Nationwide Caterers Association. This is the UK’s only trade association for mobile caterers, providing information and support to practice safely, legally and be profitable. Become part of a community which gives you unlimited support and advice for independent caterers like us.
