Franchise leadership is a critical element of long term success for franchisees
Franchising is an industry that presents countless business possibilities for ambitious entrepreneurs. However, those looking to enter this industry still require the support of experienced and expert management. CEO of Taste Holdings Food Division, Christo Calitz, explains why strong franchise leadership is essential to the development of a food franchise brand by sharing a few insights from Scooters Pizza.
The world of food franchising is an exciting, dynamic and enticing opportunity for up and coming entrepreneurs, with data released by Statistics SA recently revealing that takeaway and fast-food outlets experienced a 10.6% total income increase in July 2012 compared with July 2011.
The reasons for the success of this market are not hard to decipher. The prospect of receiving the support and guidance of a trusted, reputable and already marketable brand is undoubtedly an attractive element, as one is almost guaranteed to have a footprint to long term business success.
However, the benefits that a franchise can offer a new franchisee are also determined by the level of expertise, experience and leadership that resides within the company itself. As one of South Africa’s leading pizza franchises, Scooters Pizza understands that leadership is the most important facet in this regard, as the success of a franchise within its first few years of operation depends largely on the owners’ ability to translate their entrepreneurial ability into leadership mettle.
Further, effective franchisors have the ability to be effective in identifying and nurturing the appropriate franchisee candidates. Franchise leaders should prioritise the development of a capable franchise group over earning quick money, as a smooth-functioning team will help ensure that the brand and its assets truly perform according to their maximum potential and value.
In general, great franchisors will normally display these characteristics:
· They have a clear vision of the direction they want to take the company, and be able to articulate this plan in a way that inspires the entire team.
· They constantly look ahead and strive to reposition the company so that profitability is achieved for the company and its franchisees.
· There is constant communication with franchisees, and every effort is made to ensure that the two parties learn from one another.
· They strive to be accessible to franchisees, and build a relationship based on partnership and trust.
· Franchisees are provided with ongoing support, with the entire operation monitored on a consistent basis, and financial assistance and guidance regularly offered.
As one of South Africa’s leading pizza franchises, with a reputation built on great food and quick service, Scooters Pizza has consistently demonstrated outstanding franchise leadership, and ensures that its franchisees are guaranteed a platform on which they can acquire a loyal customer base.
Our training academy division is at the industry forefront of guidance and support, and provides franchisees with all the necessary tools required to make a success of their new business venture. As an added bonus, we offer franchisees the services of our skills trainer in store during the first week of operation, to guide and assist with daily operational processes such as stock taking and stock ordering, and selling the final product produced in the store.
After being introduced to a dedicated franchise manager, franchisees are further provided with ongoing training, with the manager on hand to assist with every aspect of the business as well as any marketing requirements.
Scooters Pizza’s strategic decision to refresh our brand image in 2012 has already paid dividends for our company, and is yet another example of the decisive and innovative leadership that we display on an ongoing basis.
Ultimately, the sustainability and endurance of a food franchise is determined by the level of leadership that the franchisor can offer its franchisees. As one of the leaders in the franchise food space, Scooters Pizza looks forward to incorporating more talented young business people into our brand, and helping them to make a success of their entrepreneurial goals.

Francorp Examines The Franchise 50 Index
The private equity industry’s success may provide a proactive look to the future. Outperforming the S&P 500, the UNH Rosenberg Center Franchise 50 Index has been positively growing for more than a decade. Created by the University Of New Hampshire William Rosenberg International Center Of Franchising, the Franchise 50 Index records publicly traded companies in the U.S. that engage in business format franchising.
These 50 franchisors represent more than 98% of the market capitalization of all U.S. public companies engaged in business format franchising. The Center’s 2012 year-to-date review shows the RCF 50 Index grew 1.9%, higher than the 13.4% growth of the S&P 500 Index. On a macro level, from 2000-2012, the RCF 50 Index grew positively at 131.1% for the twelve years; while the S&P experienced a 2.3% overall increase. The University of New Hampshire report show shows publically traded companies who conduct business format franchising decreased by 1.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.0% that quarter, buffered by a strong rebound of the financial sector.
A factor not to be ignored in the RCF 50 Index outperforming the S&P 500 for the past eleven years and running is franchising facilitating a business’s ability to expand globally. According to the Rosenberg Center Franchisor 50 Index, Avis Budget Group, the provider of car and truck rentals was the best performing component of the RCF 50 Index in the 2012 fourth quarter by surging over 29% in value driven by improving financial results. The 2012 fourth quarter continued a trend of RCF 50 Index components firms being acquired by larger firms with companies such as Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, which was bought by Hertz, while Caribou Coffee Company was acquired by German holding company Joh. A. Benckiser.
Activity inside the franchise industry is on the rise. Looking at some recent mergers and acquisitions, it’s clear no industry sector is better than the next. Private equity firms have been, and still are, interested in business to business (B2B), business to consumers (B2C), healthcare, materials and resources, and others.

Selects America’s Call Center as Preferred Franchise Provider
Inspect-It 1st Property Inspection has chosen America’s Call Center (ACC) as its preferred provider of phone answering and scheduling services for its franchise owners. The partnership is a key element in Inspect-It 1st’s strategic initiative to strengthen its multi-inspector office platforms.
“The team at ACC has been huge for growing my business. Having someone else answer the phone has allowed me to focus on what I do best,” stated Chris Earley, owner of Inspect-It 1st of Southeast Pennsylvania. “There is no way I could have grown to a multi-inspector company without someone else answering my phones and they are an active part of my future growth plan.” Earley was one of the first franchise owners to use ACC’s services.
“One of the big selling points for us was ACC’s demonstrated ability to have a high close ratio on calls, and at a high average price point,” stated Inspect-It 1st president, Kylene Golubski. “This is imperative for our offices that are too busy to man their own phones, but still require a high degree of professionalism and effectiveness to keep growing.”
Another major factor in selecting ACC over other firms was its existing integration capabilities with Inspection Support Network (ISN), Inspect-It 1st’s office management and marketing automation solution for franchisees. “Combined, ACC and ISN create a seamless and efficient office for our franchisees, giving them more time while allowing them to truly capitalize on all the marketing support we deliver,” stated Golubski.
”It’s really about enabling Inspect-It 1st franchisees to focus on building their businesses,” stated Paul Zak, owner of ACC. “Inspect-It 1st Corporate is clearly committed to providing its franchisees with leading solutions that maximize the performance and resale value of their businesses, and we’re happy to be part of that equation.”

Maxi’s franchise offers exciting opportunities for emerging business people
The franchise industry is increasingly being viewed as a major contributor to the South African economy, with information being shared at the recent International Franchise and Entrepreneurs Expo in Johannesburg that this industry contributes over R287-billion a year in economic activity.
One of the local food franchises offering a prime opportunity to capitalise on this market is family restaurant Maxi’s, which has grown to 65 outlets since the original 28 outlets, when Scooters Pizza bought Maxi’s in April 2005. Scooters Pizza, Maxi’s, Fish & Chip Co, NWJ and St Elmo’s now operate under the holding company Taste Holdings. One of the primary reasons for the exponential growth of this company is the trusted name it has created in the food industry, as well as the ongoing support it provides to those looking to purchase one of its franchised stores.
Every new Maxi’s owner receives the benefit of a dedicated franchise consultant who provides support and advice on all aspects of running the business as well as store operations. These consultants also assist franchisees to optimise the turnover and profitability of each outlet by helping new franchisees compile business plans that are based on best practice models and national averages, while the operations team also assists with the implementation of local store marketing plans.
Franchisees can further rest assured when trying to increase the scope of their businesses, as the consultants help oversee the implementation of national promotions.
Training is also provided on a continual basis, with new franchisees, their management and staff receiving five weeks of intensive guidance from Maxi's training department. This includes a theoretical overview conducted at one of the regional offices around the country, and further practical guidance that is carried out at a designated training store.
The scope of this training involves both the basics of management and business skills, as well as advice on matters relating to finance and human resource management. The brand's positioning also assists in driving site selection, with prerequisites including high traffic areas that have an emphasis on morning, day time and early evening trade.
Taste Holdings Food Division CEO, Christo Calitz, concludes that Maxi’s is confident of attracting numerous new franchisees in the near future.
“Maxi’s positive and dynamic results over the last eight years have been largely built on the professionalism and attractive business proposition that we offer to ambitious entrepreneurs, which includes a respected and marketable brand name, as well as comprehensive training and support.
“Looking ahead, we have every confidence that our reputation of serving superior quality food and providing customers with a relaxed casual dining experience with quick attentive service will encourage numerous other talented businesspeople to join our family, and benefit from a winning formula.”

Maxi’s operational franchise model helps employee rise through the ranks
Maxi’s has proven that it is a company that can offer aspiring business people the opportunity to gain real and sustainable career advancement, following 35-year old Jane Tladi’s rise up the ranks at the franchise.
Tladi began her career at Maxi’s in December 1995 as a scullery washer and helped with deliveries for take-always. Subsequently she has progressed to the position of a training manager whereby she is helping new franchisees to understand and buy into the Maxi’s brand and business philosophy.
She notes that being employed at Maxi’s has afforded her career opportunities that she wouldn’t have had otherwise.
“I was fortunate to be able to get a job at Maxi’s after completing Matric, as I didn’t have many career options owing to the fact that I lacked the financial resources to study long term. Maxi’s enabled me to develop my skills and advance in my career, which might not have been possible had they not employed me.
“Being employed at Maxi’s has also helped me to develop in a personal capacity, which made me realise that I should strive to serve as a role model in both my work place and my own community.”
When she is not working hard in training new Maxi’s franchisee to live up to the company’s reputation of being one of the top quick service sit-down restaurants in South Africa, Tladi enjoys spending time with her partner Solly Motukisi and daughter, Otlotleng. She is also currently furthering her management skills through a customer service management course with the University of South Africa (Unisa).
Maxi’s is rapidly becoming the number one family restaurant nationwide, with 66 trendy quick-services sit down restaurants in operation across all nine provinces in South Africa. It creates a unique and memorable customer experience by serving a wide range of freshly prepared and affordable meals, and providing outstanding service in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Greg Binstead, Managing Executive of Maxi’s concludes that Tladi’s career ascent demonstrates that Maxi’s business is people-focused and that the company understands the importance of driving customer relationships and value, while simultaneously developing and encouraging internal growth.
“We are proud and thrilled of Jane’s notable career developments, and this success can be largely attributed to the hard work, dedication, professionalism and commitment to excellence that she has displayed during her employment.
“Her achievements are also indicative that Maxi’s business model is an ideal one for people starting out in the working world, and that we provide an ideal platform for ambitious and talented individuals to develop and grow their careers within the company. Moving forward, we will continue to maintain this winning recipe, and empower others to achieve similar results.”

Maxi’s people-centric business franchise model drives employee development
Hard work, dedication and professionalism is rewarded at Maxi’s; just ask Gairoonisha Ishmail – better known to her family of regulars as Nisha. The widowed mother of two who began her career at Maxi’s in 1986 is now manager with the trendy family restaurant chain.
Customers at Maxi’s in Alberton are greeted by Ishmail’s welcoming smile, whether it’s for the breakfast rush or family dinners and get-togethers. “t Maxxsha. owner of her own restaurant.he trendy fast growig I don’t have much of a social life because I am at the restaurant all the time,” the dedicated manager explains. “I don’t have to, I just love what I do,” she adds without apology.
Ishmail’s dedication stems partly from tragedy. When she lost her husband six years ago she needed to provide for her family – her sons Riyaan and Yasseen. “I had to embrace my life. I could not wish to be someone else as I had children and a career to nurture. Working here at Maxi’s is a rewarding challenge, and it allows me to provide for my children, and that helps fulfill me as a mother.”
When asked what is it about her restaurant that makes customers want to linger over that cup of coffee, or her team want to work even harder, she responds happily: “A hardworking scullery means dishes for a happy kitchen, and a delighted kitchen means a happy waiter, which translates to satisfied customers.
“I believe that team work and a positive attitude is everything, and that by supporting each other, we also learn from one another,” continues the manager with 33 years of restaurant experience.
Ishmail trained to be a manager under Johan Coetzee, the founding owner, in Menlyn before moving to Alberton. She looks back and says the risk of joining a new company has never crossed her mind. “I have been a cleaner, a cashier and a supervisor. I wanted a challenge that would make use of all those skills and add to them. I’m a better person and manager because I learnt from the ground up. I was encouraged to test myself and have been rewarded.”
In her years with Maxi’s Ishmail has learnt much and seen changes as the chain has become the fastest growing family restaurant in the country. She feels the group’s success is as much hers and puts it down to the lessons she has learnt.
Greg Binstead, General Manager of Maxi’s, concludes that it is special people like Ishmael that is the secret ingredient to the group’s success.
“As a people-focused company we believe in building relationships by identifying and nurturing talent from the inside. As our employees understand and believe in this ethos, they spread a message of care and respect to our customers, which ensures repeat business and sustained growth for the franchisee and the organization as a whole.”
