Along with fast food branches; Kebab entered the race of food industry on 1980’s, intense competition in some brands reduce the cost of franchise, Kebab restaurants spread fast in Anatolia within short time duration then headed to Istanbul the big city and also spread rapidly due to lifestyle, young population & consumption habits, economy development, shopping mall centers… all these reasons was ideal factors for food industry growth in Turkey.
Kebab opening shop could be easy job with big profits and low cost as it doesn’t need a large place, small shop with less staff employed – low rental cost and serving with a narrow menu “compared with other restaurants”! As result it’s relatively simple, advantageous business and wildly preferred.
In the meanwhile; competition is very intense so doing that job requires a good location, hygiene, clean, and good service with delicious food.
Branching Kebab restaurants start recently, investors who won’t start as of zero and have motivation to work in this field but no previous experience; they can stay under umbrella of the chains! This could cost higher when they comply to use a certain number of machinery, equipments and the amount must be spent in the same standard with franchise fees 4-5% and 5% of net profits also the place can’t be small and your own products can’t be existed.
Location….

Remember the taxes and add what equal to 4 months of rent to total annual rental amount, this like 12+4 = 16 months, considering rent cost of one month not more than 10% of your annual turnover and keep your eyes on food material not exceed 25% of turnover and salaries, other expenses not more than 25% of turnover as well.
Check well what can be found in your area such banks, government offices, commercial centers, schools or universities, competitors or what close to your business; selling or provide services that you will serving and how much the turnover? What about social ambience and who inhabit their? People income does the location suitable for business growth?...
