Our Special Formula

Our Special Formula
The Happy Plaice Franchise enables you to step into a ready made business. A fully equipped van and a territory that enables you to operate in a different village or town location each afternoon/evening. By always visiting a location on the same day and at the same time you quickly gain popularity by word and mouth. Locals choose to make fish and chips their evening meal on that day of the week. Experience has shown that you become part of the local community and quickly build up friendship and loyalty from your customers.

The reason for this success is the proven formula of top quality, freshly cooked fish and chips to the high standards demanded by The Happy Plaice. We insist that these highest quality levels are maintained and that prices are kept to a competitive level. Our customers tell us that this provides excellent value for money and keep coming back each week. This makes us happy and our customers and franchisees happy!

What You Can Earn

What You Can Earn
The Happy Plaice will supply you with a business plan template which enables you to calculate your expected earnings over the first three years. The table below showing a projection based on a typical first year.

The rewards for hardworking franchisees are considerable. It is possible to expand from a single van to the control of a multi location business. Earnings are within the direct control of the individual. A Happy Plaice franchisee operating in their first year can achieve annual sales of over £100,000 with a gross profit margin of 65%. Second year earnings can exceed this. However, franchisees are self employed and success cannot be guaranteed - the input of the individual is always the deciding factor.

Unlike many other franchises we do not ask for a percentage of your takings. If you increase your takings due to operating additional functions, evenings or lunchtimes we feel you should benefit 100% from these efforts. We simply charge a fixed weekly fee of £125 plus VAT to cover the on going support and benefits. You will gain the benefits of our group buying of food and consumables to ensure your costs are kept low and your gross profit up!
 

The Next Steps

Come and see us and look over a van. You will be impressed! Spend some time on location with one of our franchisees and meet our customers – you will be excited.

One of our business advisors will meet up with you to talk you through the process. We can get you up and running quickly smoothly and without hassle. We are always there to help.
