The Process
We take great care to partner with the right franchisees: people who share our vision, and the determination to operate a successful Freshly Chopped store. Our selection process involves the following steps:
Application Form
Once you have contacted us with your interest in a Chopped franchise, we will ask you to fill out an application form detailing your previous work and business history, areas of interest, specific location and available funding. If our requirements match, we will move on to the next stage together.
Meet and Greet - Chopped Tour
At this stage, we will meet with you to discuss your objectives and plan for a Chopped Franchise. We will give you the guided tour and explain our franchise model in more detail. We will follow this up by an area and site evaluation for your store.
Finance Submission
Once your business plan and area/site is provisionally approved, we require you to submit your financials for review, to ensure that you are financially prepared to open a Chopped Franchise.
Executive Interview
Once your finances are approved, we conduct an executive interview to discuss the final agreement and capital requirements to launch your very own Chopped.
Commitment
Once we have reached agreement between both parties, the Heads of Terms is sent, inviting you to pay a franchisee fee deposit, confirming the official engagement of both parties.
Site and Financing Secured
At this point you must ensure your financing is secured and that your site is approved and the lease signed.
Signing the Franchise Agreement
Once the site is secured, both parties sign the franchise agreement, making you an official Chopped Franchisee. The balance of the initial franchise fee is paid on signing the franchise agreement.
Initial Training and Chopped Orientation
We will provide a full training programme for you, your manager and head chopper at one of our stores. This will run for a minimum period of 4 weeks.
New Store Opening (NSO)
Our Franchise Community Manager will assist your new Chopped project from the initial orientation to serving your first customer! We help you recruit staff and train them. We'll be by your side during the opening process and support you on an ongoing basis with training, product development, purchasing, operations, financial management and Local Store Marketing.
