Food Service Industry Facts Canadian Foodservice Industry Sales Canadian foodservice industry sales represented approximately 4% of national gross domestic product in 2014 and industry sales are expected to increase by 4 .0% to $74 .1 billion in 2015. The Canadian foodservice industry is divided into commercial and non-commercial sectors. Commercial foodservice includes full-service restaurants (“FSR”), quick-service restaurants (“QSR”), and drinking places. Chain foodservice sales reside in these three categories. Historic Nominal Foodservice Sales by Sector ($millions) 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 (Forecast) (Millions) Change (Millions) Change (Millions) Change (Millions) Change (Millions) Change Quick-Service Restaurants $21,962 .0 3 .5% $23,114 .4 5 .2% $24,137 .9 4 .4% $25,417 .2 5 .3% $26,459 .3 4 .1% Full-Service Restaurants 21,486 .0 2 .6% 22,545 .2 4 .9% 23,722 .0 5 .2% 24,813 .2 4 .6% 25,780 .9 3 .9% Contract and Social Caterers 4,213 .5 5 .4% 4,447 .2 5 .5% 4,600 .4 3 .4% 4,904 .0 6 .6% 5,168 .8 5 .4% Drinking Places 2,362 .4 -4 .3% 2,338 .8 -1 .0% 2,311 .3 -1 .2% 2,329 .8 0 .8% 2,353 .1 1 .0% Total Commercial $50,024.0 2.9% $52,445.6 4.8% $54,771.6 4.4% $57,464.2 4.9% $59,762.1 4.0% Accommodation Foodservice $5,235 .0 0 .6% $5,456 .0 4 .2% $5,623 .0 3 .1% $5,890 .0 4 .7% $6,162 .0 4 .6% Institutional Foodservice 3,531 .8 2 .1% 3,668 .6 3 .9% 3,898 .5 6 .3% 3,985 .2 2 .2% 4,128 .7 3 .6% Retail Foodservice 1,270 .0 -1 .4% 1,227 .1 -3 .4% 1,351 .3 10 .1% 1,425 .6 5 .5% 1,485 .5 4 .2% Other Foodservice 2,304 .4 2 .2% 2,362 .0 2 .5% 2,416 .3 2 .3% 2,484 .0 2 .8% 2,558 .5 3 .0% As shown, commercial foodservice sales increased by 4 .9% in 2014 while non-commercial sales increased by 3.7%. Commercial foodservice sales are projected by Restaurants Canada to increase by 4 .0% to $59 .8 billion in 2015. Total nominal foodservice sales are expected to increase from $39 .0 billion in 1998 to an estimated $74 .1 billion in 2015 . This represents a compound average growth rate of 3 .6% . Commercial sales (which include chain restaurant sales) represent 80 .7% of total foodservice sales, compared to 79 .5% in 1998 . Quick Service Restaurants (“QSRs”) and Full Service Restaurants (“FSRs”) generate relatively similar sales (about $26 billion each annually) and together represent 87 .4% of commercial foodservice sales and 70 .5% of total foodservice sales. Chain Vs Independent Operators The chart below graphically depicts the share of chain and independent restaurant expenditures in various regions of Canada for 2014 . As shown, 63 .2% of the expenditure in restaurants in Canada is in branded local, regional, national and international chains. Quebec has the greatest percentage of independent restaurant expenditures with 44.6% of all restaurant sales in restaurants unaffiliated with chains (down from 48 .4% in 2013) . Ontario and Quebec have the greatest commercial foodservice sales, driven primarily by larger populations. Commercial foodservice sales per capita in Saskatchewan, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador are similar to the national average. Alberta continues to have the greatest commercial foodservice sales per capita ($2,137) followed by British Columbia ($1,920) . KLONDIKE Franchise Opportunity Benefits of a Franchise vs Independent Ownership The most intimidating part of opening a restaurant is the possibility of failure. In order to succeed in this industry, business owners need to have a distinguishable operating concept that impacts things like the menu, the operations philosophy, and even the customer service. Here are a list of the benefits of joining a franchise. Operating system: Would you rather invent the wheel, or buy one ready-made? If you're the creative, innovative type, starting your own business is the way to go. A franchised business provides a complete, out-of-the-box business, ready to "plug and play." You have to follow the operating manual. If you can't, fly solo. Equipment and supplies: Outfitting your new business with everything you need to succeed means researching what equipment to buy, finding suppliers, and negotiating deals. You may buy a pizza oven that's too big or buy more fresh food than you need; or you may buy one that's too small and run short on capacity as your business grows, or run short on pepperoni on a busy evening or weekend. Franchisors can provide invaluable help in knowing both what and how much to buy - often at reduced prices. Economies of scale: If you're a sole entrepreneur, you have the buying power of one. If you're a franchisee, your franchisor can negotiate bulk rates and pass along the savings to you. Also, having the power of a recognized brand behind you often eases the mind of a supplier in extending credit: if a successful franchisor is willing to trust you, vendors are more likely to do so as well. Legal disclosure: Franchisors are required by law to disclose certain information about their business in documents regulated by federal and state law. If you're looking to buy an existing business from an individual, can you (and your attorney) trust the seller? And if the seller disappears, where's your recourse? Even if a franchisor opposes you in court, at least you have a fighting chance. Financing: Starting your own business can cost less than buying a franchise, and many entrepreneurs have started on a shoestring budget and succeeded. But most new businesses require startup capital, especially for retail space and equipment. While most franchisors do not supply financing, many have relationships with lenders who will view that brand's referrals more favorably than an independent business owner just starting out. Marketing: If you're Joe's Pizza, you're on your own when it comes to marketing and advertising. If you're a Pizza Hut franchisee, you have the power of the brand's multi-million-dollar national and regional marketing and advertising behind you. There's a price to pay for these benefits: a monthly contribution to a national advertising fund. But if you're Joe, every penny to market and advertise your business comes directly out of your bottom line. Speed to market: You can build the most beautiful retail store or buy the perfect van for your mobile business and fill both with the most expensive equipment. That takes time, as well as money. Or you can sign up with a franchisor who's done this hundreds of times and be handed a shopping list of exactly what you need to set up shop, allowing you to open for business more quickly than if you had to research it all on your own. Faster ROI: No matter how grand your opening, when you start your own business it takes time to build a client base and local reputation. When you advertise a known brand name in your new market, customers come ready-made, and the cash starts flowing faster. Training: You may be the best at what you do, but do you know how to manage a business, hire and train employees, market your product or service, keep the books, etc.? When you start your own business, you must learn all these things on your own, with "rookie mistakes" part of the learning curve. Franchisors provide new franchisees with extensive training in every aspect of their new business, from flipping burgers to which point-of-sale system to buy. And many offer advanced training to help you stay on top of your business as it grows. Franchisor support: Most entrepreneurs, franchised or not, love what they do. In fact, they're rather do what they love, which can result in neglecting how they manage their business. Additionally, caught up in the day-to-day details of such "mundane details" as taxes and supplies, they fail to innovate and to develop as leaders and executives. Many franchisors provide field support specialists to help keep their franchisees on track, training them to become managers and leaders "working on the business, not in it." Peer support: If you own your business, you can join the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, or other local business organizations, so you're not completely alone. As a franchisee, you receive ongoing support not only from your franchisor, but also from your fellow franchisees. This can be locally, regionally, at annual national conventions, through an online support network, or just by picking up the phone. Local business groups are invaluable for the networking connections they can provide, but who better to ask for help with your business than someone who's already solved the problem you're facing for the first time? Product/service innovation: Introducing a new product or service that flops costs precious time and money. If you own a traditional business, it's your time and money down the drain. Franchisors develop new products, try them in their company-owned stores or with other franchisees willing to test them. By the time McDonald's introduced its new line of coffees, the kinks had already been worked out. So while it may cost a franchisee some big money to install new equipment or introduce a new store design, the ROI is more likely than with your own new great idea. Site selection: There's a lot of competition out there in the retail sector. Setting up your coffee and breakfast business on the wrong side of the street can severely hurt sales. You can hire a site selection expert, but what do they know about your business? A franchisor can provide teams of real estate experts, advanced site selection software, and years of experience in finding the best sites for their brand. They also can provide expert assistance negotiating leases with landlords - an oft-ignored, yet critical component of profitability. Culture/fit: In your own business, the only person you have to get along with is yourself (and your customers and employees, if you want to have any). Many franchise experts describe the franchisor/franchisee relationship as a marriage. Unlike a marriage, you don't sign on for life (it's usually 5, 10, or 15 years), but you do need each other to succeed. That's why it's so important to ask if your values and goals align with those of the franchisor. They don't award a license and say "See you in 10 years. Be sure to send us a check every month." It's an ongoing, win-win proposition. Exit strategy/resale value: Selling an independent business can be very lucrative - but the pool of potential buyers is smaller than with a known brand. When faced with a choice between Carl's Jr. and Fred's Burger Boat, prospective business owners often opt for the safety and familiarity of a known brand over a private business, just as consumers do when looking for a burger. And in tough times if you need to sell you may have to do so at a bargain basement price - if you can find a buyer at all. With a franchise, there's always a buyer of last resort: the franchisor, who can always buy your unit and run it as a company store until they find a suitable buyer. We are actively looking for franchisees in many Canadian locations. If you are interested, please take a look through the Frequently Asked Questions. Please note that a population base of approximately 100,000 people in Canada is required for us to consider a new location. KLONDIKE Franchise Questions & ANSWERS Q.
