The 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 Brand: A brief history

爱游戏后台's was founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio. Dave built his business on the premise, "Quality Is Our Recipe庐鈥�, which remains the guidepost of the 爱游戏后台's System. Dave loved two things above all else: food and people. That's why he started 爱游戏后台's. He believed in a place where you get great food, made fresh, served by nice people. At 奥别苍诲测鈥檚, we continue to carry on that simple but powerful idea, every day.

While Dave's popularity helped sell hamburgers, he also used it to bring attention to causes and issues that were important to him, like foster care adoption. This is most visible through our support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption庐 and its signature 爱游戏后台's Wonderful Kids庐 program, which seeks to find a loving, forever home for every child waiting to be adopted from the North American foster care system.

Who makes a good 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 franchisee?

We're looking for growth-minded entrepreneurs who want to expand with a trusted and iconic brand.  We also want individuals who are enthusiastic about serving fresh-made, craveable food, providing exceptional customer service, building high-functioning restaurant teams and running great restaurants. Community service matters, too. We believe in giving something back to the communities where we do business because it鈥檚 the right thing to do. 

Preferably, 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 is seeking operators who:

• Are interested in single-unit and multi-unit opportunities through the development of new restaurants or by the acquisition of existing restaurants
• Have single-unit or multi-unit restaurant (preferably quick service) experience with proven leadership skills
• Are passionate, with a focus on restaurant experience, local market knowledge, and a strong willingness to learn and practice the 爱游戏后台's business model
• Demonstrate exceptional managerial and business acumen
• Have a growth-driven mindset with the vision to expand into multiple locations
• Have access to adequate capital for reinvestment in 爱游戏后台's image activation program and new restaurant development

How do you become a 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 franchisee?

A good first step is to visit www.wendys.com/franchising. This site is packed with practical resources and firsthand stories from current 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 franchisees who describe their experiences with the brand.

To give you a flavor of the process, though: It begins with completing the 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 Prospective Franchisee Questionnaire. Then there鈥檚 an introductory call and application, followed by a brand overview, geographic discussion, and in-market Discovery Day. The process ends with a Business Plan Leadership meeting and, if applicable, preliminary approval.

How much does a 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 franchise cost?

奥别苍诲测鈥檚 requires that a new franchisee have a minimum liquidity of $500,000 and a minimum net worth of $1M. Additional financial requirements include:

• $500 background check per person
• $5,000 post-approval training fee
• $50,000 technical assistance fee per restaurant over a 20-year term
• 4-6% of gross sales allocated for 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 royalties
• 4% of gross sales allocated for advertising

Costs and fees are different outside of the U.S. and Canada and vary according to market opportunity. Costs may vary based on your area of interest and can be discussed during our initial conversations.

奥别苍诲测鈥檚 Build-to-Suit development fund also helps minimize a franchisee鈥檚 capital investment and allows franchisees to lease/sublease directly from 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 for a slight premium.

How will 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 help you?

When you become a 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 franchisee, you鈥檒l receive unmatched access to leaders at all levels of the Company, along with personal coaching, engagement, and ongoing support.  That includes a comprehensive operational and financial toolkit to help ensure your teams are successful and your business is thriving and growing. 

We also believe the brand truly thrives when our franchised System reflects our customers and restaurant teams. To create pathways for everyone who wants to grow with us, 爱游戏后台's created the initiative.

In the U.S., we have worked with our preferred financial lenders to offer access to expanded economic opportunities for new franchisees. In Canada, we also established relationships with financial lenders who provide customized service and flexible solutions for new franchisees.

How long does the entire process take to become a franchisee?

It varies depending on the type of opportunity available (purchase of existing restaurants or development of new restaurants) and the management experience of the prospective franchisee, which will require the completion of 奥别苍诲测鈥檚 training program.
