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.

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.”
