Case study of fast food Frichicks

Fast food is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly, while any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food. The capital requirements involved in opening up a fast food restaurant are relatively low. Smaller, individually-owned fast food restaurants are becoming much more common throughout the world. Fast food has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the hotel and catering industry. This growth has not only been fuelled by consumer demand, but also through the expansion of the supply base. According to Mr. Shahzad (manager of Sargodha branch) Frichicks came in the market with a vision of providing quality and services, to its customers. In 2003 frichicks remained in the fast food restaurant chain, and famous largest chain. Frichicks opened 21 branches in Pakistan and also operating in Italy and Dubai. Sargodha Fri chicks branch was established by Mr. Irfan with the partnership of his American friend. They opened a franchise in Sargodha at 23rd October 2008 with a huge investment of Rs 5 billion. This branch is situated at best place of Sargodha. In Sargodha branch three departments is working first one is production area, cash counter and third one is customer sitting area. Their main products are Pizza, Burger, Fri chicken, salad and ice cream. Their targeted market is students and upper class. Frichicks fast food restaurant has also been successful in establishing a number of franchises in Pakistan, as concerned with Sargodha frichicks franchise had raised to average of 2.50 lacks sale on daily basis. In frichicks consumer began to demand healthier food and frichicks was faced with a limited menu consisting mainly of fried food, in order to reduce frichicks image as a fried chicken chain it change its menu and add salad in addition. The increased demand of healthier food and increasing consumer demand for better variety lead to a number of changes in frichicks menu offering. Sargodha frichicks is on its maturity stage, frichicks products have survived the earlier stages. Sargodha Frichicks early entry in to the fast food industry in October 2008 and had allowed it to strong brand name recognition and a strong foothold in the industry.

Frichicks dont provide frequent deals at the special occasions as compare to its competitive restaurants so in order to enhance their service they should provide deals, offers buy one get one free offers to customers specially at the religious or the national events. Frichicks has the common hall for families as well as for the couples and it leads to bad impact on the minds of people so there should be strategies for the separate hall for families and couples. However frichicks significant parking problem will probably push their customer away from them, thus frichicks must have to imply ways on how to meet their customer expectation. Frichicks ought to think that customer goes to their establishment not just because of their product but also their service because nothing bits a quality service. We analyze the main problem in this branch space area for customer and parking because on the weekend and special days or events people move rashly to these areas. The 480 people enjoy their meal at time. This space is not enough for their customer. Other problem is parking area all the customer vehicles are park on the road due to this road is jam and chance of accidents has been occurred. We give a suggestion for both problems first one to build two more halls on their current building through this they can solve the sitting problem for their customer, and also they make a separate family hall. Through this many customer enjoy their meal without any problem. And for parking they can purchase the vacant space left side of their building. Through this parking problem of their employees and for customer will solved. One of the unique and the competitive advantage of the frichicks is its location, as it is located on the University Road (the posh area of Sargodha City), so the many local as well as outsider customers rashly visit frichicks. Along with the fast foods frichicks offer a healthier food by the name of salad, another competitive advantage is the quality fried chicken and the other strategies related to menu improvement to increase their market share. Frichicks is branded fast food providing firm so its name Frichicks attracts the customers as the source of quality meal.
