Chop Wok Express - Takeaway Franchise

The Chop Wok Express™ franchise comes with a tried & tested business model that offers you a standout brand in the UK takeaway food sector.

That sector is expected to hit upward of £22 billion by the end of 2023, making this the perfect time to join us and get your slice of success.

Through our existing stores, we’ve taken the time to refine and streamline our menu and how we prepare food. Customers choose from a simple, one-page menu that’s easy to use and easy for you to understand and operate.

Extensive consumer research has put us in a position where we can offer you everything needed to create a warm, welcoming space for people to get the tastiest food in minutes.

The Eye-Catching Alternative Food Takeaway

Our research & development has led to us producing our own range of delicious sauces, so what you have to offer your hungry customers is unique and exclusive.

The Chinese takeaway food we create and sell is always in line with the latest trends.

Best of all for you, our margins are second to none. After accounting for packaging and waste, the average cost of sale is approx. 21%, leaving you with an average gross profit of 79%!

It means you can look forward to a swift ROI, with most stores readily regaining their initial investment within the first year of trading.

• Financial: You’ll have automatic access to back-office portals showing you sales revenue, transaction volumes and average transaction value data.

How Does My Store Work?

You can choose from our larger 1,000 sq. ft. stores or the smaller 600 sq. ft. The difference in set-up costs between these two options is around £20,000. The set-up includes the franchise fee, site build costs, equipment, legal fees, initial marketing and stock, Q1 rent, sub-total set-up costs and VAT.

You order directly from us through cloud-sharing spreadsheets, so you have an idea of the costs. The stock will arrive at your store on pre-arranged delivery dates and is ready for you to heat and serve.

All our sauces are pre-made, our meat pre-cooked, and our vegetables pre-cut/washed. It’s part of the Chop Wok Express™ system that has been deskilled to the point where you don’t require a professional chef on your staff.

You will be fully trained in all areas of store operations and will be in charge of staff management. This is your business, and we will do all we can to help you flourish in this new chapter of your career.

Finding Your Hotspot

You can find a location for your store, or we can help you search and assess a spot using available resources and agents based on maximum travel time from your home.

With a shortlist of potential high-footfall areas in busy urban locations, we’ll complete a feasibility study and keep you in the loop as we negotiate with landlords. Best of all, we’ll operate within a timeframe to suit you, with no pressure regarding completion until you’re ready to go.
