No. 6 of the UK's Top 100
Established in 1994, Chicken Cottage is a quick service restaurant with a difference from traditional fast food. The food is fresh, flavoursome, halal, highly convenient and affordable. The menu started with fried chicken and accompaniments and then extended to healthier options and vegetarian range, with their latest offerings including wraps and grilled options. Today there are more than 75 restaurants in the UK and more abroad.
The franchisee can either take a hands-on role in their restaurant or appoint someone to oversee these aspects.
Who it suits
The ideal franchisee is commercially driven, customer focused and comfortable working in a fast-paced restaurant environment. Experience in food service or multi-site management may be helpful, but the key requirement is a willingness to follow a proven operating model and maintain brand standards consistently. The brand appeals particularly as a halal quick service restaurant franchise, with a core customer base that values food quality, convenience and value for money.
